Expository Writing Program

The Expository Writing Program offers English 100 (“Expository Writing I”), English 200 (“Expository Writing II”), and several other upper-level writing classes. Together, these courses enable students to write effectively and become more aware of how they write. The Expository Writing Program provides students with a broad range of writing experiences in order to help them fulfill their academic, professional, and civic responsibilities. Students will produce many different types of genres—evaluations, responses, analyses, reports, and proposals, among others—that they will encounter both in and outside the university. Finally, the Expository Writing Program asks students to write for specific audiences and for specific purposes.

The links to the right will provide more information about the Writing Center as well as course syllabi for English 100 and 200. There is also a link to the 2008 Prairie Lights, the yearly publication that showcases student writing in English 100 and 200.
