Expository Writing Program

The Expository Writing Program, which is administered by the Department of English, offers two introductory courses, Expository Writing I (ENGL 100) and Expository Writing II (ENGL 200), as well as four upper level writing courses, Expository Writing III (ENGL 300), Expository Writing for Teachers (ENGL 400), Written Communication for Engineers (ENGL 415), and Written Communication for the Sciences (ENGL 516).

These courses hope to enable students at K-State to write effectively in order to fulfill their academic, professional, and civic responsibilities. Additionally, these courses provide K-State students with as much practice as possible writing various forms discourse—essays, reviews, letters, reports, proposals, etc.—that they will encounter both in and outside the university. Finally, the program emphasizes audience; each course asks students to write for specific audiences and for specific purposes.

Please explore the links to the right to find out more information about the program. We are especially excited about our new content-based ENGL 100 class, Diversity Writing, which deals with issues of culture, identity, and controversial issues that arise from human difference.
