English 2

Catalog description

The intent is to give students training beyond ENG-201 in advanced composition, research and critical thinking by reading a selection of literary genres chosen by the instructor. Students will increase their understanding and appreciation of the genres by analyzing and writing about prose fiction, drama and poetry. Writing assignments and essays will consist of literary analysis, persuasion and, when appropriate, the use of secondary sources. Major attention also is given to the preparation and writing of a research essay through writing assignments which emphasize finding, evaluating and incorporating appropriate secondary sources into students’ written work.
