    Description
    This course was formerly known as ENGWR 480 Honors College Composition. In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. This is an honors course. This honors composition course focuses on reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that extend past those developed in a traditional composition course. This rigorous course requires the analysis of complex short works along with at least one full-length professional text. Honors students will write carefully reasoned, stylistically sophisticated essays, which include appropriate MLA documentation and additional research. The written work of honors students should demonstrate a more nuanced view of writing situation and purpose. Honors students will refine their practice of rhetorical strategy, research, and citation methods in a minimum of 6,500 written words in at least four essays. Honors students will engage in additional presentations of independent and collaborative research. This course was formerly known as ENGWR 480 and is not open to students who have successfully completed ENGWR 300 or 480. Students may satisfy the prerequisite for the course through the English 279 Los Rios placement process OR guided self-placement OR successful completion of ESL 325.
