IRW 305 Integration of Critical Reading and Academic Writing Skills II

3 lec/1 lab (3NDCr)* This second-level course is a combined lecture/lab, performance-based course designed to develop students’ critical reading and academic writing skills. The focus of the course will be on applying critical reading skills for organizing, analyzing, and retaining material and developing written work appropriate to the audience, purpose, situation, and length of the assignment. The course integrates preparation in basic academic reading skills with basic skills in writing a variety of academic essays. This is a course with a required lab. The course fulfills TSI requirements for reading and/or writing. Integration of critical reading and academic writing skills. Successful completion of this course if taught at the upper (exit) level fulfills TSI requirements for reading and/or writing. Note: For institutions offering one or more levels, this course shall be used for upper (exit) level and may be used for lower level(s). Prerequisite: IRW 0302 or equivalent score on the reading or writing section of the TSI Assessment Test.
