Institution:

Polytechnic Institute of New York University

Subject:

Description:

The student population of this course is limited to students whose first language is not English. These students receive extra support in the grammatical and syntactic structures of English, support not provided in sections of the alternative course, EN 1204. EN 1234 and EN 1204 are fully equal as prerequisites, and both bear 4 credits. Like EN 1204, EN 1234 provides an introduction to the humanities and to advanced techniques in writing. Thematic emphasis on change and continuity in the humanities is presented, as well as an exploration of the interrelationship of the humanistic disciplines through study of great works of art, philosophy, literature and, in some sections, music. Advanced work is given to stylistic options and more complex forms of writing, including the longer critical study, formal report, and research paper. In some cases, this course may be presented as an introduction to literature. Prerequisite: EN 1034. EN 1014 only with the recommendation of the English Final Examination Grading Committee, approved by the Director of ESL Writing Curriculum. Note: In the interest of maximizing the student's potential for success, advanced placement and transfer credits are only accepted as prerequisites pending the results of a placement test and approval by the Director of ESL Writing Curriculum. Under no circumstances will transfer credit be given for EN 1234 in the absence of approved transfer credits for its prerequisite, EN 1034.
