  • This course can be taken at two levels: Verified with staff surveys or non-Verified with associate audits and self-evaluations. For school credit you should be checked. Under either choice, the course is not over straightforward: school credit ought to be more than an extremely favor receipt. It is publicized just like a hard course - 18 hours seven days suggested time duty - and for those wishing to get full worth for cash, that is about what it takes. In the event that you need a simple A, this is not for you.

  • This course was fabulous and I am frustrated at the negative remarks - it was the first occasion when I had learned in more than 30 years. The instructors were extraordinary and dependably around on the off chance that we needed them - I found the Peer Review handle extremely fullfilling. Furthermore, there was a ton of cooperation from different understudies - an extraordinary course - well worth participating in.

  • I am wishing to build up a scholarly vocation, so this course is immaculate to me, and notwithstanding those negative remarks, I believe that building writting aptitudes is a testing and tedious errand. My suggestion: simply unwind and appreciate the trip.

What I would highlight: Arizona (EdX Partnership) Came back after decades from being at school. Whats more, took 5 courses through the ASU program and did astoundingly well, which I discovered not far off, I can apply for College Credit through Arizona State University which was astonishing open door for an old clock like myself to apply for school credit while working for my second lone rangers degree at Nazarene Bible College (CO) and my second Associate at Fredrick Community College (MD) both permitting me to apply the 5 classes/16 units towards my general electives. Arizona State University and edX - THE PARTNERSHIP was astonishing, educators were uncommon.
What could be improved: Nothing.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes

Course programme

Language, and the ability to communicate effectively are critical skills in the global economy. Writing and composition are vital to communicating your ideas clearly. This introductory writing course will help you develop and express ideas effectively for a variety of purposes, audiences and occasions. During the course, you will complete several major written projects, along with a reflection for each project. For each project, you can decide what level of technology you wish to use. If you wish to earn university credit for the course we will ask you to complete a portfolio in which you demonstrate what you have learned. Specifically, you will address what you have learned in the course and provide evidence that you have acquired the skills and knowledge taught during the course. Credit earned will count as ASU’s First-Year Composition course however, it is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring the credit.

Additional information

Duane Roen Since childhood, Duane Roen has been interested in how people learn to write. Since his days as an undergraduate, he has been interested in how teachers can help students learn to write. His research interests have evolved throughout his career, and he is now most interested in collaborative writing, audience, gender and written language, and professional development for graduate students. He loves to make connections among disciplines, which means that he can draw on many fields in his scholarship—rhetorical theory, composition theory, literary theory, linguistics, psychology, sociology, feminism, anthropology. Because his interest in collaborative writing is more than an abstraction, he has co-authored/co-edited most of his 9 books and  more than 250 chapters, journal articles and conference papers
