ENGW 102 - Argument and Research

The second of two courses in a first-year writing program designed to help college students develop and hone their written communication skills. This course carries forth the key methods and objectives of ENGW 101, but now engages students in scholarly application, focusing on argumentation techniques (including recognition of such rhetorical strategies in professional writing) and research protocol (incl. library holdings and database navigation, as well as academic integrity in all of its complexity). Students bring their newly learned (or recently augmented) exposition skills into the arena of higher-level college discourse, learning to develop sophisticated, textually supported, logical arguments free from fallacious and/or unsupported claims.
