Ideas & Exposition I (IEC)

Argumentation is the heart of academic expository writing; therefore each I&E course focuses on how to best construct evidence-based arguments that show readers why it is reasonable to problematize a previous analysis and resolve the problem in a particular way.

The I&E I courses help students to produce expository writing that readers will recognize as increasing their understanding of a given topic. They also help students learn and apply core strategies that underlie successful scholarly research and writing.

I&E I classes are capped at 15 students each. Within this small group environment, students collaboratively negotiate alternative responses to problems they raise.
