Students in this practicum experience work collaboratively to create Viterbo's journal of first-year writing, Backspace. Through working on this project, students build skills in professional communication, editing, and document and magazine design. Required for first-year English majors but open to English minors as well. May not be repeated for credit.

Designed specifically for students enrolled in the Honors Program, this first-year writing seminar facilitates students' development into skilled practitioners of college-level argument through practice, guidance, and collaborative learning. In addition to reading complex texts critically, writing frequently, and completing several major assignments of increasing complexity, students will work with a similar group in a lab setting on the processes of writing.
