Module 1: Why is Writing Important?

In this early module of the course, you began the first step in creating your digital writing portfolio, reflected on your process for writing, reviewed the research process, learned about cover letters and résumés, and addressed steps for composing personal essays and letters of introduction. These are all essential skills that you will need as you progress through the rest of this course and as you prepare for life beyond your academic career. Make sure to keep a copy of all of your work from this module so that you can use it throughout the course and in the next steps of your life.
