COMP 01112College Composition II

Catalog

This course builds on the concepts and approaches in College Composition I (COMP 01111) and/or Intensive College Composition I (COMP 01105). The course emphasizes argumentation and information literacy. It introduces students to argumentative strategies, asks them to identify and analyze forms of argumentation, and requires them to write a variety of well-researched and ethically responsible arguments. Students will work to become independent researchers who can find relevant information from a variety of sources (both academic and non-academic, traditional text and digital) and evaluate and present that information to an academic audience. Course requirements include a portfolio comprised of works created during the semester.
