Catalog Description
English 2 is an advanced academic writing course which provides an opportunity for the students to learn
and practice the skills needed for a guided university-level academic paper related to their field of study.
The course emphasizes the development of academic writing skills as well as the ability to read and think
critically. Students will learn to use the library and appropriate online resources to find and evaluate
sources to inform, develop and support their ideas in term paper writing. They will also learn skills for
reading analysis, such as comprehension and inference. Assessment tools will include a common midterm examination and two term papers (a total of approximately 2,500 words). Emphasis will be on the
process of developing and improving academic papers over time, informed by peer and instructor
feedback.
