critical thinking, and writing. Students will examine sample
essays, analyze them in terms of rhetorical strategies
(methods of most effectively presenting an argument to an
audience within a given context), and demonstrate these
concepts in their own writing. Within this context, advanced
grammatical concepts, punctuation, and sentence style will
be emphasized. Logical idea development, organization,
and style will also be emphasized. Designed to improve
success in English 101.
