CompFAQ
Welcome to the English Composition Frequently Asked Questions.
This FAQ addresses difficulties that many new writers have with mechanics, style, content, and structure. While meant for writers new to college, even experienced writers may benefit from some of the answers to the questions here.
The FAQ is hypertextual and is divided into classes via the tabs above. You might begin by clicking on the tab that corresponds with your class. Or, you can see all of the questions available on the FAQ in the index.
Each tab highlights the questions most pertinent to that course. ENGL 1101 and ENGL 1102 are for the first and second courses, respectively, in first-year composition. The former highlights general reading and writing skills needed for college while the latter focuses on the analysis, interpretation, and writing about literature. Choose Literature Survey if you are in a sophomore literature survey course, like ENGL 2111. The Digital Writing tab contains content relevant for advanced writing, humanities, or literature courses that have a digital writing component.
If you’re new here, you might begin with the questions in the “Start Here” box on the right to get oriented, check the index for an overview of all content, or search below.
note: This FAQ is a work-in-progress, so links in red have yet to be written. I anticipate that it should be complete, or in version 1, by the fall of 2023.
