Course Syllabus
ENGL 102
Composition and Literature
Course Description
Continues the emphasis on writing. Two analytical papers, based upon studies of the short story, poetry, and drama and a literary research paper, sequentially developed, are required.
Rationale
ENGL 102 builds upon ENGL 101, helping to prepare the student for college level writing. Furthermore, this course provides students with the opportunity to evaluate literature from a biblical worldview; to examine structure, aesthetics, and issues; and to organize their thinking in written form. In addition, the research paper requirement strengthens the student’s skills in investigating, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the ideas of others while also sharpening the student’s general understanding of human experience, which will assist him/her in subsequent courses and in life.
