    Description
    Prerequisite: College-level composition (ENGL C1000/C-ID ENGL 100) or equivalent. In this course, students receive instruction in critical thinking for purposes of constructing, evaluating, and composing arguments in a variety of rhetorical forms, using primarily non-fiction texts, refining writing skills and research strategies developed in ENGL C1000 Academic Reading and Writing (or C-ID ENGL 100) or similar first-year college writing course. Students have the opportunity to practice critical thinking by writing substantive arguments, essays, and a documented research paper. This course reflects the department’s commitment to examine works from diverse perspectives and help students develop their authentic voices. This course used to be ENGL 001C.
