English Composition II

To participate actively in life is to engage in the debate as a critical listener, thinker and writer. English Composition II will help students prepare for that debate by challenging them to examine issues, the arguments others offer in support of various positions, the reasoning on which those arguments rest and the objectivity of the evidence offered.

The purpose of this course is to expose students to research tools, secondary sources and methods for using and evaluating both. Topics include: Doing Research; Writing in all Disciplines; Developing an Individual Style of Writing; Reading, Interpreting and Writing about Literature.
