ENGL 102 - Literature and Critical Writing (W)

3 Credit(s)

Students are introduced to the principal literary genres of fiction, drama, and poetry as a means of stimulating critical thinking and further developing skills in writing and analysis. Students should consult the descriptions for ENGL 115–ENGL 125 for specific information about the different focuses offered.
This course contributes toward satisfying the humanities distribution requirement. All sections are writing enriched. Satisfies a humanities general education requirement for non-majors. Students who have taken ENGL 103 are exempt from taking ENGL 102 to fulfill first-year writing requirements but may take the equivalent courses ENGL 115–ENGL 125 for humanities distribution credit. Students pursuing majors that require ENGL 102 should register for ENGL 102 and consult with advisors to identify the theme and focus for their preferred section. Once the 102 requirement has been completed, students may register for a course from ENGL 115 to ENGL 125 to fulfill a humanities general education requirement, as long as a different theme and focus is chosen. Students whose majors do not require ENGL 102 may register for sections of ENGL 115–ENGL 125 to fulfill a humanities general education requirement.
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 101 or equivalent.
