    Description
    This course offers the honors student a challenging curriculum that will develop skills in reading, composition, critical thinking, and research. Through a variety of written assignments, students write a minimum of 6,500 words, including a significant research paper. In addition to research assignments, students will read at least one full-length, supplemental text. In order to fulfill the honors requirement, students will complete a significant project and/or classroom presentation. This course was formerly known as ENGWR 480. This course is taught as a seminar; several group and individual class presentations/ projects will be required. Honors courses are open to students who demonstrate an ability to write carefully reasoned, well-organized essays of varying lengths, are prepared to make clear oral presentations in class, and are able to actively contribute to seminar discussions. Credit may be earned for ENGWR 488 or ENGL C1000 (formerly ENGWR 300) but not for both.
