Welcome The First-year Composition Program at UGA introduces 3,500-4,000 students a year to college-level academic writing. English 1101 is concerned with argumentative discourse, English 1102 with constructing academic arguments through literature. We also offer a wide range of special topics courses, online writing classes, and composition courses that are associated with the UGA Learning Communities or employ Reacting to the Past pedagogy. The capstone project for both courses is an electronic portfolio of student work generated through <emma>™, the department’s own Electronic Markup and Management Application. ePortfolios allow students to showcase their best work, to reflect upon their own writing practices, and to present their writing in a persuasive manner to a range of readers. The UGA First-year Composition Program is a member of Cohort 2 of the Inter/National Coalition of Electronic Portfolio Research and in 2007 submitted a final report to that body.
