Composition 3 is a third-year required course. As this course is part of the Comp/Oral series, its main aim is to give final shape and polish the skills of the students in writing. Students are taught to write academic essays in various rhetorical styles including essays about literature. Students also have to be able to formulate and pursue intellectual and professional goals. The course will help increase the mental flexibility of the students and they are required to write a research paper on an independently researched topic. This course is taught together with Oral Training 3.

We will 1. get familiar with the writing process (prewriting planning, drafting, and revising). 2. learn the components of a sound essay. 3. learn to organize ideas logically. 4. learn to write classification, process, cause/effect, and problem/solution essays.
