ENG-1020H - Honors Composition and Literature* (3)

Prerequisite: ENG-1010 or ENG-1010T ; consult with the English and Communication Chair for eligibility requirements

Successful completion of English 1010 or equivalent is required, as is the ability to read college-level texts, and write unified, coherent essays nearly free of mechanical or format errors, in Standard Formal Written English.
Honors English 1020 is a continuation of composition studies specifically for students in the honors program, and serves as an introductory literature course to short fiction, poetry, drama. It focuses on the classic rhetorical strategies of composition theory, and requires the writing of formal literary analyses. Students are instructed on how to evaluate literature critically, and how to write essays effectively using evidence from the texts to support a clear thesis point. The honors section is distinguished by an intensive, theme-based study centered around contemporary, social issues around the world.
