Like English 1102, English 1030 is designed to further skills of expository writing and critical thinking established in English 1101. You will read and interpret fiction, poetry, and drama and write analytically about them. Essays will be documented using textual evidence, and you will understand and use basic terms important to critical writing. In this course we will read selections from a variety of writers, including but not limited to African American, Asian American, Hispanic Ameican, and Native American authors. Students will become familiar with word processing, e-mail, and the World Wide Web through a variety of assignments designed to incorporate technology and its many possibilities into the responses to and analyses of the assigned texts.
Attendance is mandatory.
After your third absence, you will be dropped from the course. Friday July 7th is the last day for withdrawal from this course without penalty. After that date, withdrawal from class will result in a grade of WF for the course. You will always be given ample time to finish essays. Therefore, late work will not be accepted.
