Objectives: English 201 gives you the
opportunity to build upon the critical,
organizational, and language skills which you developed
in English 101. You will further develop your logic, argument and
research skills.
You will write longer and more complex essays and gain even greater
control over your grammar, mechanics, and usage. You will grow in your ability
to understand and enjoy literature.
The class will work toward these objectives through reading and
discussion, informal in-class writing, and invention, drafting, and revising of
formal essays and a research paper--with input at every stage from instructor
and peers. To demonstrate your
progress as a writer and to motivate yourself to think critically about your
education, you will keep all your written work throughout the semester, and you
will revise some of your essays for your midterm
portfolio. |
