Prerequisites: EE 313, EE 337. 3 semester hours
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course reviews the fundamentals of English composition: parts of speech, punctuation and mechanics, spelling, diction, sentence structure, the paragraph, outlining, the theme. The course, designed to assist students in increasing their level of competency in written expression, provides intense drill in fundamentals and frequent short writing exercises. Some writing exercises are designed to teach students the use of the dictionary and the use of the library. After successful completion of ENGL 100, students must enroll in ENGL 101. Not open to students who have received credit for ENGL 101. ENGL 100 may not be used as a humanities elective or to satisfy the humanities distribution requirement for Arts and Sciences students. 3 semester hours
  • 3.00 Credits

    This intensive course in expository writing focuses on rhetorical and grammatical principles, logical expression, unity, coherence, emphasis, syntax, punctuation, and diction. Readings stimulate expression and provide examples of exposition and argumentation. Assignments include summary, analysis, and synthesis of primary and secondary sources. Research techniques, including note-taking, documentation, and outlining, support an analytical source-based research paper of eight to ten pages. ENGL 101 may not be used as a humanities elective or to satisfy the humanities distribution requirement for Arts and Sciences students. Prerequisite: ENGL 100 or approval of the English faculty. Some students may be exempted from this course, based on their proficiency. 3 semester hours
