English

Preparatory Course - Writing Skills

ENGL 1099 is a course offered primarily as a workshop and is designed to help students learn to write effective sentences and paragraphs. The course builds up to essay writing and a final exam.

First Semester - Writing Courses

The actual format of each class, whether lecture, seminar, group activities or a mixture of these, will be the prerogative of the instructor.

The reading and writing requirements of both first semester courses will be approximately equal.

Both first semester courses will require at least five evaluated written assignments. Other types of assignments such as oral presentations, independent library research, seminars, and examinations may be used.

Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the course, and meeting those obligations.

Both ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1110 introduce students to the demands of academic reading, thinking, and writing. The English department recommends students begin with either ENGL 1100 or ENGL 1110 and complete their first year of study in English with a first year 1200-level literature course

All First-Year Literature Courses, 1201 through 1206

First-year literature students will study selected primary texts as well as literary terms and concepts. These courses will provide students with a framework from which to develop their own critical faculties, and will give students the necessary grounding from which to proceed to more advanced study. Class time, as necessary, will be devoted to preparation and composition of essays involving literature. Individual assistance will be available.

Although most first-year courses will examine the literature of the 20th century, some courses may study literature of earlier periods.

The actual format of each class, whether lecture, seminar, group activities, or a mixture of these, will be the prerogative of the instructor.

The reading and writing requirements of all first-year literature courses will be approximately equal.

All first-year literature courses will require at least four evaluated assignments, including essays and research. Other types of assignments - such as oral presentations, independent library research, seminars, and examinations - may be used.

Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the course, and for meeting those obligations.

All Second-Year Courses, 2300 through 2319

Second-level courses require more demanding reading than first-level courses, and may require the use of secondary sources and the writing of a research paper.

For admission to second-level courses in English, students must have first-year standing (grade-point average of 2.0 or better).

ENGL 1100 or 1110 plus one of 1201, 1202, 1203, 1204 1205, 1206.

In second-level courses there will be differences in focus: some courses will focus on a particular literary tradition, while others may emphasize a particular genre. Whatever the case, the reading requirements of all second-level courses will be approximately equal.

All second-level courses require at least four evaluated assignments. Of these, at least two will be essays. Other types of assignments - such as seminars, in-class essays, oral presentations, research papers, and examinations - may be used.

Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the particular course, and for meeting these obligations.
