In the first level in college writing, Freshman Composition 1, I am expecting students to show that they can follow the standard, structural guidelines currently in use in the writing community. If you can master the rigid format established in this ENC1101 (or 101) class, you will be able to mature your writing in ENC1102 (or 1102), and from there, you can decide if there are areas where you might want to deviate in your structure.
