FFL010 Integrated Reading & Writing
This course will help students develop basic writing, reading, and critical thinking skills through a combination of reading, thinking, discussing, and writing, using a broad cross section of articles written in response to current issues or events. Instruction emphasizes the use of the writing process to develop both informal and formal paragraphs relevant to personal, academic, and career needs. Students will enhance their ability to comprehend factual material, build confidence in their ability to learn independently, and gain new perspectives and broaden horizons. Students employ effective reading strategies to improve concentration, identify and resolve comprehension problems, analyze and organize author's ideas, evaluate them critically, and record them for future use. By meeting the academic and behavioral challenges of this course, students will develop the skills, habits, and attitudes necessary for success in college. Students identified through the College Assessment Program should enroll in this course in their first semester. This course satisfies no elective requirement.
