• Write unified and well-supported essays with coherent paragraphs and effective thesis statements.
• Incorporate outside/secondary sources with proper citation in both written and verbal communications.
• Choose topics, convey purpose, and employ research and organizational skills appropriate for specific planned communication events.
• Analyze readings for social and cultural context.
• Demonstrate knowledge and appreciation of other cultures including language, arts, and cultural values.

Notes:

• Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university should consult their faculty and transfer advisors early in their WNCC career to determine a curriculum best suited to their transfer goals.
• Students who desire a particular academic focus should talk with their advisor to select elective courses relevant to the student’s interests and/or intended future profession.
