WR 105 - Writing for Scholarships |
Prerequisite: WR 115 or placement test.
"Writing for Scholarships" encourages students to develop their ideas and writing skills beyond the classroom microcosm. Students will learn how to present their self-inquiry in the form of effective scholarship essays. Students will include these essays in an application to Oregon Student Assistance Commission. The course will emphasize the following skills: Descriptive writing, organizational strategies, audience engagement, and revision. We will look at winning scholarship essays from former students so as to define what "works" and employ these working techniques in current assignments.
NOTE: This two-credit writing course will not count toward a WR 115/115W, 121, 122, 123 or 227 writing course.
