Welcome to English 1200, a first-year research-writing course at East Carolina University. This course is the second in a two-semester series of first-year composition courses designed to prepare students for the writing expectations of the academy, the workplace, and their communities.

This course is taught by ECU English Department faculty member Stephanie West-Puckett and incorporates service-learning as a teaching method that gives students the opportunity to explore subcultures through primary research, examine significant issues affecting those subcultures through both primary and secondary research, and engage in real-world research-writing activities that serve a need in those communities.
