ENGL 408 Advanced Composition

Advanced composition focuses on scholarly writing and critical/theoretical readings in composition, as well as the "essay" as a form. Students will write substantive, researched essays that question and critique how academia controls, inhibits, and propagates various discourse communities via prose standards. Rhetorical analysis, argumentation, and academic style are central concerns of the course. Pre-requisite: successful completion of ENGL 120 with a "C" or higher, or instructor consent. Fall even years on campus.
