ENGL 0202 - Composition II: Rhetoric and Research

Credits: 3

A course that promotes critical inquiry that students elect or are required by their degree program to take fall or spring of their second year that builds upon the process-based, rhetorically-grounded foundation of English Composition I and that further develops students' abilities to write and read non-fiction texts. While students will be introduced to argument summary in Composition I, in Composition II, students will learn additional strategies to locate, analyze, and synthesize research in rhetorically effective, genre- or discipline-specific ways. Students complete a final portfolio whereby they demonstrate metacognitive reflection of the contents and present at least two projects with the genre- and/or discipline-specific documentation. All sections have a theme and/or are linked with a course from another discipline, so students should carefully examine options when choosing sections. 

Prerequisites: ENGL 0101 .
