This non-credit ten week course is specifically designed to help students build skills that will assist in the completion of their written academic course work. Students in the course will learn to communicate their ideas in written form, applying skills in English mechanics and usage through in-course practice. Students who wish to improve their basic English writing skills, or who do not reach the threshold score on the competency assessment delivered in the first week of ISP100H5 Writing for University and Beyond, should take this course to develop their skills for university work and ensure successful completion of ISP100H5. No credit is awarded for this course, and it begins in week 3 of the academic term, following the competency assessment for ISP100H5.
This course teaches writing- and reading-related skills that are necessary for success in the transition to university work. The course uses a ‘Writing About Writing’ approach to help students understand the writing process, with an emphasis on the concepts of discourse communities, genre, rhetoric, argument, and audience. Rather than focusing on discipline-specific writing skills, the course helps students develop transferable writing skills. ISP100H5 is delivered from the perspective that all writers can improve their writing, so that students with diverse writing skills will benefit by taking it. There is a required writing assessment in the first week of classes, and students must pass the threshold mark to continue in the course. Those below the threshold should enrol in ISP010H5, Basics of Writing in English.
This course teaches quantitative literacy and numeracy skills in order to develop core competencies identified as essential for university and beyond. ISP130H5 enhances students’ ability and confidence to engage with quantitative information in a variety of contexts, by applying mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches to make informed decisions, to problem-solve, to effectively communicate and express quantitative information, and to create logical, evidence-based arguments. Rather than focusing on math specific skills, the course explores relevant concepts as they appear in diverse disciplines and authentic real-life situations, such as numbers and magnitude, patterns and relationships, financial literacy, health, probabilistic reasoning, chance and risk, and interpreting data presented in various forms.
This course builds on instruction offered in ISP100H5 in its focus on writing and researching processes. Students will expand their understanding of advanced theories and techniques of genre and discourse analysis, deepen their understanding of writing studies scholarship, and refine their own writing processes.
