ENG 102 Academic Research and Writing

3 Credits

Building on the experiences in ENG 101, ENG 102 challenges students to further strategies for writing, reading, thinking critically, researching, and thinking reflectively. This general composition course emphasizes flexibility of response to a variety of writing contexts and conventions. Students research topics with opposing viewpoints, and write various source-based arguments. Active note-taking processes and skills for formal writing that are foundational for communication and collaboration in academic and professional environments are emphasized. The course assignments may be designed around a theme or a topic, or a student may self-select a topic, depending upon the instructor’s syllabus. Students must complete ENG 102 with a minimum grade of C.
