Welcome to Comp!
All SPSU students are required to take two courses in composition, English 1101 and
1102. These courses are designed to help you become a better writer, which in turn
will make you a better student and a more competitive job candidate when you
graduate. As a student in the University System of Georgia, you’re also required to
demonstrate reading and writing proficiency by passing the Regents’ Test. So what
does all this mean for you?
- It means learning to read actively and critically.
- It means responding to the ideas of others in writing.
- It means getting your ideas the attention they deserve by communicating them
clearly. - It means working in a state-of-the-art computer writing classroom.
- It means creating a portfolio and keeping a journal.
- It means getting to know your composition instructor one-on-one.
- It means writing about ideas that matter to you and sharing them with others.
Not so bad, right?
Through SPSU’s Composition Program, you’ll develop strong reading, writing, and
thinking skills, ones that you’ll use in every college course—whatever your major. And
as a critical thinker and good writer, you’ll enter the job market with an edge over
your competitors.
