Comprehension and Written Expression is a foundational course designed for first-year English majors seeking to master the architecture of effective communication. This course systematically builds your linguistic competence from the ground up, beginning with the fundamental parts of speech and progressively advancing through phrases, clauses, and complex sentence structures—all while developing your metacognitive awareness of language construction. Through a carefully structured sequence of explicit instruction, targeted exercises, and practical application, you will develop your written expression capabilities, enabling you to deconstruct sophisticated texts and craft coherent, nuanced writing of your own. By the semester's conclusion, you will have established a robust writing foundation that serves not merely as technical knowledge but as a versatile toolkit for precise thought expression across academic disciplines and professional contexts.
