A Journey Through InquiryWelcome to UWRT 1102. This course is designed to guide you through a semester long journey of writing studies, practice and experience. As we work this semester, we will use inquiry as our main vehicle in order to achieve specific learning outcomes that you can carry with you throughout your college and professional career. Below you will find tiles addressing each learning outcome and how this course will approach them. You will also find a tile about course policies, schedules and other important course information.

Students develop an extended inquiry project that integrates materials from varied sources and includes writing in multiple genres. Students write, revise, edit and reflect on their writing with the support of the teacher and peers. Students also immerse themselves in a conversation about a topic through reading, questioning, and process writing. Polished writing might assume the forms of presentations, reviews of research, essayistic arguments, or multi-media and web-based projects. Students learn to distinguish rhetorical contexts, practice different conventions, and develop positions in relation to research. They also adopt digital technologies to network, compose, and/or critique and disseminate their work. Grades are derived primarily from portfolios that include work generated throughout the term.
