ENGL 105 - Composition with Support

ENGL 105 Composition with Support

ENGL 105, the first-semester reading and composition course, teaches students the principles, methods, and habits of mind that will enable them to succeed in courses in many fields. Students will read diverse texts in various genres, and they will connect their reading to their exploration of their own experience and critical perspectives. On the basis of these connections, they will design and write essays with a distinct purpose and audience in mind. English 105 is the same as English 100 but includes two extra units of supplemental instruction and support.
