College Writing (ENG110)
The UExcel examination in College Writing measures the ability to persuade a reader to pursue a specified course of action, using personal knowledge and experience to support a proposal, and to analyze and respond appropriately to written texts that represent opposing viewpoints, using the Modern Language Association (MLA) style of citation. In general, the examination measures the ability to organize knowledge, ideas, and information; to adopt rhetorical strategies such as narration, illustration, explanation, and description in appropriate ways; to adopt and maintain a tone and point of view appropriate for a specified audience and rhetorical situation; to develop and maintain a controlling idea and a coherent organization; and to write within the rhetorical, syntactic, and mechanical conventions of Standard Written American English.
