English Composition II

Is the second part of the first-year, college-level English writing program. The course enhances students’ ability to read and think critically, to research and evaluate evidence competently and to write clearly. It focuses on helping students develop the skills needed to approach a body of material, to analyze it and to explicate it. Students write interpretive, evaluative and analytical essays, as well as an appropriately documented research paper, all of which contain properly constructed thesis statements.
