ENGL-122 is the second of a two-semester sequence of college-level expository writing courses. (ENGL-121 is the first course in the sequence.) ENGL-122 builds on argumentative, persuasive, close reading, and research skills using a variety of literary forms as the subjects for discussion and writing. Students advance their understanding of themselves as readers and writers, including the understanding that they participate with others in responsible public discourse and have moral and ethical responsibilities in that discourse. Approaching writing as a recursive process, this course emphasizes scholarly inquiry, literary analysis, and research. Students completing this course should be able to write persuasive, researched, and documented essays (of at least 2,000 words) demonstrating effective communication, knowledge of literary conventions and the conventions of standard written English and manuscript presentation. (A variety of thematic orientations will be available in different sections of the course.) Prerequisite: Eligibility to enroll in ENGL-122 is based on successful completion of ENGL-121. (3 hours weekly).
