Completion of English 100 or equivalent with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for this and all other Writing Intensive courses at Leeward CC.
In this Writing-Intensive course, you will do a substantial amount of writing (a minimum of 4,000 words) to help you learn the course content and improve your writing skills. Receiving credit for a Writing-Intensive course may depend upon satisfactory completion of all writing assignments. While Writing-Intensive courses can be demanding, many students find writing about course content helps them to think more deeply about that content. Since Writing-Intensive courses have smaller class sizes, there will be increased opportunity for interaction with your instructor about your writing. Your instructor will help you work on your writing skills by providing individual feedback on your writing and requiring revision, in response to that feedback, on at least one major writing project. Students in Writing-Intensive courses may be asked to participate in an online survey to assist the college in assessing the Writing-Intensive coursework offered at the college.
The Writing Center provides free writing support for Leeward CC students. Writing consultants are fellow students who are available to help with writing assignments for any Leeward CC class, scholarship essays, and college success skills (including Laulima, OER, time management, organization, note taking, and reading).
