ENGL 112 - Rhetoric and Research
3 hrs (Sem I)
Rhetoric and Research is an advanced course in composition that combines rhetorical principles with research writing strategies. Students learn how to incorporate outside sources into their writing and how to employ critical thinking skills to help them evaluate the validity of the sources that they use. A sequence of seven papers is required (a minimum of 7000 words). Writing assignments will vary and increase in complexity from a short, one-page summary to one long, ten to twelve page research paper. Except for in-class writing, all papers must be fully documented according to MLA standards. Students who receive at least a C in the class will not be required to take a second semester of composition. 3 class hours.
Prerequisite(s): SAT Writing score of 530 or greater and SAT Reading score of 420 or greater, or appropriate placement test scores.
