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.

Composition 3 is designed to further polish students’ writing skills through focused practice and critical engagement with various forms of written expression. In addition to traditional drafting and peer review, the course incorporates AI-supported tools to assist students in brainstorming, organizing ideas, revising drafts, and refining language. Students will be guided to use these technologies thoughtfully, not only to enhance their writing efficiency and clarity, but also to develop critical awareness of the limitations and ethical considerations of AI-generated content. By the end of the course, students are expected to read and write critically across different genres, respond to peers’ writing with constructive feedback, and produce well-developed short papers for diverse rhetorical purposes.
