Course Description
This course focuses students on learning to develop organizational patterns (e.g. narration,
process, comparison, definition, and cause and effect). Students will practice these patterns
through writing several essays, including a research essay. EN120 is also the study of
grammar, syntax, and diction and their relationship to effective writing. Student grade will be
cumulative.

**Yearlong class that students enroll/pay for in August. Cost is $225.
The differentiation and integration of algebraic functions and transcendental functions of a
single variable, and an introduction to analytic geometry. Emphasis on elementary analytic
geometry, functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, anti-derivatives and definite integrals. All
topics are covered from a theoretical and application perspective.
