College-level courses put significant demands on students’ critical reading and writing skills – including more essays, longer projects and in-depth research. For students who struggle with these projects, this academic transition can have a negative effect on their grades, mental health and adjustment to college life.
Our 8-week online Introduction to College Writing course provides current high school seniors with a dedicated small-class setting to develop the skills needed to plan and execute college-level writing assignments. Students participate in live, online courses plus hands-on activities and independent self-study to learn and perform each stage of the writing process. By the end of this course, each student will have a completed piece of college-level writing; students can use this guided coursework to complete a real-life assignment, college essay or other work of interest.
