Students at Purdue have diverse academic interests and professional goals. And although not every student at Purdue is an English major or strives to become a career writer, the ability to communicate creatively and effectively is important to all of us for several reasons: 1) it provides us an outlet for sharing our ideas and an opportunity for making those ideas better; 2) it empowers us to understand different conventions, genres, groups, societies, and cultures; and 3) it allows us to have a voice in multiple academic, civic, and personal situations. In short, writing is a way of learning that spans all fields and disciplines. Introductory Composition at Purdue is designed to help you: build confidence in your abilities to create, interpret, and evaluate texts in all types of media; develop knowledge by inspiring new ideas through writing; understand, evaluate, and organize your ideas;

2001-2002 GENERAL EDUCATION ASSESSMENT Executive Summary Analytic Writing Assessment Tables 1 and 2 illustrate writing outcomes for five sections of English Composition II and five liberal arts exit classes. Displayed are the means for these two groups and the percentage of papers which were judged to be at Level 3 on a five-level scale, indicating a readiness for college instruction, and at Level 4 or above, representing writing competence and the desired level for USF graduates. Although the data for the exit courses suggest that these students are less proficient writers than are students completing English Composition II, this finding must be replicated through additional research before major curricular changes are considered. If, however, one interprets these data alone, one might speculate that after ENC 1102, less attention may be given to the instruction and evaluation of writing skills. If lower writing performance in exit courses is confirmed, adjustments in the curriculum are warranted.
