The UWP is one of the largest educational programs in the state of Louisiana. We teach
thousands of students how to write better each year. Here at LSU, we have two main
required writing classes: English 1001 and English 2000. These two classes are sequenced
to help us begin exploring how to think and write critically and rhetorically in the
21st century. Then we shift toward thinking more about how we put writing to work
in different, specialized fields of knowledge. We offer some of the smallest classes
on campus, and our faculty work with our students one to one to help them improve.
Writing connects with everything. Every person in every facet of life can benefit
from learning how to write well. It takes time to develop as a writer, but it’s absolutely
worth doing…
