What I learned from ENC1101

ENC1101 laid the foundation for and provided the fundamentals of effective thinking, reading and writing. The primary focus of ENC1101 were the fundamentals of writing. The introduction, body and conclusion are three of the basics of writing an effective paper.

The introduction should include a lead-in, thesis and essay map. The lead-in is used to catch the readers' attention. The thesis should state the writers' opinion. The essay map is used to introduce the major points to be discussed.  The first several sentences need to hold the readers' attention.

The body of the essay contains at least one paragraph for each of the major points of the introduction. Each sentence of a paragraph should relate to the point being discussed.  The body paragraphs should give credence to the thesis and follow the essay map.

The conclusion should restate the introduction. It is the last chance to make an impression on the reader. It should also give the reader a sense of conclusion.

Writing a good essay starts with the basics. ENC1101 provides the foundation and fundamentals of effective writing. These are the things I learned in ENC1101.
