EN 102 is designed to help students develop their skills for researching, analyzing, and writing about literary texts. The course is organized into four modules: "Introduction to Literary Criticism," "Introduction to Literary Theories," "Researching Literary Topics," and "Applying Literary Theory and Criticism to Research Writing." The first three modules focus on developing specific skills and knowledge essential to the practice of literary analysis. The fourth module brings those skills together in a final research project focused on a literary text. Skills learned in these modules reflect the English Program's learning outcomes for English majors. During the course, students analyze fiction, poetry, drama, and creative nonfiction. They also learn about literary theories such as Ecocriticism, Film Theory, and Queer Theory, and build more advanced research and writing skills using the lenses of those theories. Students demonstrate their understanding of course materials through presentations, short writing assignments, tests, and a final research assignment. Throughout the semester, students provide support and critical thinking about each other's ideas in discussions and workshops. This course meets an English major requirement, but any student who enjoys literature and wants to develop literary analysis skills is welcome
