ENG101 First-Year Composition
Prerequisite: Honors English score on ASSET (51 or higher) or COMPASS (97 or higher) Placement Test. (AGEC FYC)

"If you like to argue about your interpretation of literature, if you want to learn more about how to analyze literature and how to write about those analyses in well-crafted essays, this is the class for you. Wanting to learn how to think and express yourself well is a major prerequisite for this class. Focus is given to the writing process, from pre-writing through rewriting to editing and proofreading. You will read works such as Inanna: The Queen of Heaven, Beowulf, The Odyssey, The Aeneid, Ovid's Metamorphosis, and Plato. And, finally, we will examine the lessons and knowledge which the classics offer to our contemporary society. (Enrolling in the companion HIS100 History of Western Civ is highly recommended, because knowledge of the history weaves beautifully into understanding the literature and adds another layer of appreciation.)" -Patricia Zaccardo
