Citrus College

Subject:

English

Description:

Prerequisite: ENGL 101. This course is designed to help students develop critical thinking, writing and research skills beyond the level achieved in ENGL 101. Particular emphasis is placed on increasingly complex classical methods of invention, arrangement and style for writing assignments that demand sound organizational skills. Students will read and critically evaluate (for meaning, purpose, strategy and style) expository and argumentative essays from a variety of classical sources and multi-cultural perspectives and then use these essays as rhetorical models for their own writing assignments. Students will be required to test prejudices they hold, prove or disprove a hypothesis, evaluate the opinions of others, explain the effect of the media, and attempt to synthesize opposing arguments on an issue through critical thinking. Most of the written assignments will require library research and documentation. Meets the IGETC critical thinking requirement. 54 lecture hours. CSU;UC
