Course Overview
This course refines basic writing skills, develops sophisticated techniques of written expression, and establishes a critical editorial sense with respect to the cadet's own composition and the writing of others.

The course requires the achievement of competence appropriate for a college graduate and necessary for an Army Officer. Course activities include a lecture by renowned travel writer Pico Iyer.
