Welcome to the Composition Department at Defiance College.

The Composition Program is devoted to its audience, the students of Defiance College. As composition instructors, we are concerned on the most fundamental level with teaching critical thinking and writing as defined by current academic norms. While the bulk of Defiance College students take AH 110 Writing the Self in the Fall, and AH 120 Writing the World in the Spring. Students are urged to enroll in the class as early as possible in their collegiate career.

The Composition Department also publishes an online web magazine, The PaperWad, where the best student writing is published each spring.
