  • 3.00 Credits

    This introductory college-level course focuses on effective oral and written communication skills and the development of analytical abilities through various reading and writing assignments. Students must be able to demonstrate competence in writing mechanics, including grammar, structure and logical content development when writing essays, summaries, and short reports. Rhetorical modes include description, contrast, illustration and process demonstration. Oral presentation skills are developed through the delivery of two speeches on related topics.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This sequel to EN-101 involves more sophisticated research, reading, writing, and speaking assignments. Essay topics dealing with cause and effect, classification, persuasion and argumentation/debate are required. Students will demonstrate competence in research and documentation methods by conducting one major research project during the semester. Prerequisite: EN-101.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This is a project-oriented course requiring the application of certain basic principles in developing a major research paper in the student's academic area. Each student must devise an original researchbased approach for solving a technical problem. The research paper should provide a thorough literature review and analysis of relevant issues, expert opinions, and the author's recommendations for solving the problem. Emphasis will be placed on the preparation of proposals, abstracts, progress reports, and audience analysis, as well as on the development of a properly formatted, comprehensive final research paper, complete with supporting documentation. Formal presentations are required. Prerequisite: EN-102 and Senior status. This course is limited to Seniors preparing for Senior project.
