Expository Writing I: Critical Thinking and Writing
Students in Expository Writing I learn to summarize, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize the published views of others. The course addresses questions such as: What does it take to "crack" a difficult text? to assess the soundness of a text? to position other sources and oneself in relation to a text? Instructors assign readings that advance students' learning, challenge them intellectually, and engage them in the process of thinking critically about the issues raised. ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) sections of Expository Writing address linguistic, rhetorical, and cultural issues that arise for students whose primary language is not English.
Students are expected to complete Expository Writing I by the end of the first year.

Expository Writing II: Advanced Inquiry in Writing
Expository Writing II reinforces and advances the lessons of Expository Writing I, leading students toward understanding and mastery of the processes involved in sustained inquiry: questioning, hypothesizing, testing, re-hypothesizing, and re-testing. Students undertake an ambitious intellectual project that culminates in a final paper in which they report on the progress they have made through extensive, in-depth inquiry. Projects may draw on library and Internet sources and/or may entail original research such as interviews, observations, surveys, and service-learning experiences.
Students are expected to complete Expository Writing II by the end of their junior year.
