ENGL C102 Course Information

Course Description

(A/UC/CSU)

In this composition course for transfer to four-year institutions, students continue development of composition and critical reasoning skills begun in ENGL C101 through advanced study of imaginative literature (novels, poetry, drama) and arguments. The course emphasizes critical analysis, principles of logic, and presentation of carefully-reasoned written arguments. Students write four to five expository and argumentative essays, including some requiring multiple sources showing the student’s ability to analyze and evaluate source material and to generate and develop independent topics of inquiry (total: 8,000 words).  (Prerequisites: ENGL C101) Formerly ENGL C1b. CAN ENGL 4.
