ING 112A Basics of Academic Writing (2 credits)

ING 112A course focus is to improve students’ reading techniques, learn to analyze outside sources and elicit proper information by differentiating general from specific data, and develop their academic writing skills by including proper in-text citation methods in their written assignments. Students will also go through the processes of reading and analyzing texts, critical thinking, planning, drafting, and editing. They will be able to learn how to write a formal sentence definition, interpret charts and graphs, use direct quotations, paraphrase and summary by implementing APA citation rules. Students working on text exploration and academic writing simultaneously produce a paragraph and an argumentative essay both for their homework assignments and exams. In addition, they will participate in in-class discussions about the reading materials. Students who are exempt from ING 100 can take the ING 112A course after their ING 100 course grades are recorded as AA on their transcripts at the end of the semester. There is no exemption from ING 112A for students starting their undergraduate programs as of the 2021-2022 academic year. For the detailed course catalogue form, click the link below.
