RSP 100 - Russell Scholars College Writing

RSP 100 is designed to prepare you for writing you will do in other college classes. As a fundamental part of your General Education at USM, College Writing emphasizes critical thinking and communication. The course focuses on writing and reading, and particularly on the conversation, revision, editing, and proofreading processes that produce strong, clear, and interesting work. You’ll learn how to understand and think critically about the ideas and language of others and how to develop and articulate your own ideas about what you’ve read. You’ll have opportunities to participate in collaborative and social aspects of writing processes, including giving and acting on productive feedback, as well as explaining your own composing processes.
