English 1010 is the first of two first-year composition courses at the University of Memphis. English 1010 will introduce students to academic writing, which emphasizes inquiry, critical analysis, argumentation, research, and documentation. In English 1010, students will read, think, and talk about academic writing, then write a variety of texts that range from narration to argument, that will prepare them for the more focused curriculum of argumentation in English 1020. In addition, because grammar and usage are important components of the writing process, students will become familiar with major grammatical functions, be able to recognize how these work (or not) in the texts that they read, and incorporate them effectively into their own writing.
