Students are expected to engage with challenging ideas through reflection, analysis, and critique. Students practice expressing these complex ideas in multiple modes and genres. Students become self-aware, independent, confident writers who take ownership of their writing process. Students benefit from smaller class sizes and individualized instruction.
