Writing and Literature

Catalog description

BRDG 102 takes the lessons of thesis-driven, well-supported academic writing and critical reading taught in BRDG 101 and applies them to the analysis of literature. All BRDG 102 classes engage in close, contextual, and critical reading of literary texts. Through the practice of writing like a literary scholar, students will be prepared to write within their own academic and professional disciplines, by reflecting on the demands of genre and audience. Students will also enhance their social and ethical reasoning through exploring the multiple disciplinary lenses a primary text can be analyzed. This is an English as a Second Language course.
