After you complete your writing course, you will continue to write in other college courses. Maybe you will write a literary analysis in your English course, a lab report in your biology course, or a proposal in your business course. Using your writing center Web site or the OWL (online writing lab) from another campus, investigate the type of writing that you might be expected to do in your major, in a course you will take next semester, or in a field that sounds interesting. (At the Purdue OWL, for instance, look for “subject-specific writing.”)
