Prerequisites: English G010 or Placement Test The Golden West Honors program offer highly motivated students an enriched academic experience, challenging them with stimulating, rigorous assignments leading them to advanced level of critical thinking. Most enhancements to the standard English G100 course are qualitative rather than quantitative. While there is additional reading, some on a fairly high level, the intensified focus on critical thinking holds students to a higher standard: all their oral and written work must manifest a commitment to, and a capacity for, academic excellence. The list of readings features more classic essays and difficult writers than the usual English G100 bibliography and intensifies the focus on research, personal style and critical thinking. Lecture. Letter grade only. UC Credit limitations: English G100 and English G100H combined--maximum credit, one course. Transferable to CSU; UC.
