The catalogue describes ENG102 as "Research paper writing with
emphasis on thesis development, research techniques, logical analysis, and
effective organization and presentation." In general, you will
be learning to write an academic research paper, or at least learning how
to analyze and discern the requirements of a given discipline. The
class will focus on argument, in which a claim or thesis is supported by
external sources.
To accomplish this, we will be writing two short papers, and then
spending the second half of the semester on a longer research paper.
This particular section of ENG102 is a "hybrid" course, a
hybrid of standard classroom instruction and on-line instruction.
Rather than meeting in the classroom twice a week or meeting entirely
on-line, we'll be doing some of both: once a week, we will meet in the
classroom, and for the second class day, students will have an internet
assignment. More information will be given in class, but see the Required
Materials page for technical requirements.
