WRIT 1340

WRIT 1340

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

WRIT 1340 is designed to help PSSP students build foundational academic literacy skills essential for success in college. Through a four-week curriculum, students engage in reading, writing, researching, and speaking activities that enable them to practice strategies such as rhetorical analysis, expository writing, and oral presentation, as well as learn about and reflect on the ways that digital tools and resources, like GenAI, can help or disrupt learning. Students participate in small seminar-style classes, one-on-one conferences with instructors, and weekly writing studios to explore big ideas (about topics such as place, happiness, and food) that encourage personal reflection on the transition to university life. The course culminates in a writing assessment to guide future writing support and FWS placement.


Enrollment Priority Primarily for: students enrolled in the Precollegiate Summer Scholars Program.

Last 4 Terms Offered 2025SU, 2024SU, 2023SU, 2022SU
