Description:

ENGL 254 is an intermediate writing course that extends and refines skills in expository and argumentative writing, critical reading and critical thinking by having students analyze, discuss and write about major topics pertaining to the theme of working-class identity in the United States, and the way in which writers, artists, and the media have discovered, defined, celebrated, and criticized what it means to be American.
