ENG-1030 - Composition and Nonfiction Prose* (H) (3)

Prerequisite: ENG-1010 or ENG-1010T (Minimum grade of C)
Students in this course complete their second semester college level composition course. Using critical analysis of non-fiction prose, students build on the planning, organizing, and critical analysis skills learned in ENG-1010 , Composition and Rhetoric. Students use non-fiction prose, including historical and contemporary essays, newspaper and magazine articles and features, advertising and promotional copy, and scripts. Students use non-fiction prose as the basis of their critical analysis and to extend, deepen, and illuminate students’ own experiences and connections with the larger world and contemporary issues. Students further master the conventions of written Standard American English, information literacy skills, and research and documentation techniques including conducting online and print research and documenting sources. By the end of the semester, students demonstrate their ability to write a unified, coherent, argument-based essay of about one thousand words that is nearly free of grammatical, mechanical, and structural errors. This course satisfies the General Education Humanities requirement.
