Description: COMM 103 Replaces ENGL 103. Enrollment is open to all Rice undergraduates; however, students receiving a not satisfactory score on the Composition Exam are allowed to register first. COMM 103 provides students the opportunity to strengthen their writing in the academic disciplines in preparation for more advanced work. Topics include: identifying argument patterns, using online databases, practicing heuristic techniques, revising and editing papers according to the conventions of formal written English, and using MLA and APA documentation systems.
