Welcome to ENGL 1102: English Composition II.

The objectives ENGL 1102 concentrate on the interpretation of literature in an attempt to develop critical-thinking, observation, analytical, and comprehension skills. Prerequisite: at least a “C” in ENGL 1101.

ENGL 1102 provides an introduction to traditional literary forms—prose, poetry, and drama—and an examination of other cultural texts, like film, music, and visual arts. This course will also introduce to students various approaches to textual interpretation, like reader-response, ethical, feminist, and psychological modes of criticism. Through various reading, writing, research activities, and instructed guidance, students will further develop those written and verbal skills begun in English Composition I.
