This course introduces Cadets to college-level composition. Writing is taught as a process involving drafting, discussion, and revision. Cadets acquire skills of analysis and argument by writing 3-4 papers (approximately 2,500 total words of graded writing). Cadets learn to think critically, develop clear and effective prose, and communicate with a range of audiences. They emerge with tools to be successful college and professional writers and refine habits of mind that are essential to their future success as officers and leaders.
