English 101

Most Wittenberg students take English 101 in their first or second semester (and the course must be completed by the first term of the sophomore year). The course is designed to introduce students to basic forms and conventions of college writing, to provide the opportunity for frequent practice in writing and revising, and to help students explore various stages of the writing process from planning to proofreading.

Writing Requirements

At Wittenberg, each student should achieve a level of competency in writing that provides the necessary foundation for subsequent college work and further learning and should also strengthen writing with continued practice.

To start, each student needs to take English 101 during one of the first two semesters and earn a grade of C- or S, unless that student is exempted by a demonstration of writing competency through national tests, as certified by the Department of English.
