| GE 101: Inquiry and Expression is an integrated collegiate skills course that introduces students to academic discourse, including writing, reading, research, oral communication, and critical thinking. These skills are developed by examining contemporary American issues such as race, class, popular culture, and gender. Library and electronic research skills are directly applied as students conclude the course with a research paper. |

"I&E has definitely helped me to become a better writer. The professors have endless knowledge that they so graciously share with the students. It is definitely a great class to take." - Kelli Day |

"I really loved my Inquiry and Expression class at Aquinas.I had taken and received AP language and literature credit in high school, but I figured it would still be a smart idea to take I&E. It ended
up being one of my favorite classes of my freshman year. We wrote many different papers, such as a research paper, a profile, and a narrative. We had opportunities to meet with my teacher, and I was
able to progress in my weaker areas, and by the end of the semester, I was able to express myself even more clearly and articulately in my papers. I&E is a really beneficial class to take freshman year, and I
will always use the techniques I learned in that class." - Lauren Lamore |

"Inquiry and Expression is a course that focuses on building a strong foundation in writing and it helps students transition into the level of writing expected in college. Many freshmen may be intimidated by the thought of taking a college writing course, but there is no reason to fear Inquiry and Expression! The professors meet their students at their writing level and help them develop through fun writing topics. My Inquiry and Expression professor, Dr. Chesley, allowed us to choose a theme for our various assignments. My assignments included a personal narrative, interview, and research paper that focused on Catholic elementary education. Other students’ themes included Autism, psychology, weather anchors, NASCAR, and life coaches. The freedom to choose topics made the writing assignments more personal as well as fun." - Libby Steffes |
