By the end of the course, students should not only have built upon their proficiency in these areas but also be confident in utilizing this knowledge in the construction and completion of a writing portfolio and self assessment. First-Year Composition Mission Statement First-year composition courses at CCNY teach writing as a recursive and frequently collaborative process of invention, drafting, and revising. Writing is both personal and social, and students should learn how to write for different purposes and audiences. Since writing is a process of making meaning and communicating, FYC teachers respond mainly to the content of students' writing as well as to recurring surface errors. Students should expect frequent written and oral responses on the content of their writing from their teachers and peers. Classes rely
