ENGL 101(S) Techniques in Reading
Through small class discussions (limited to about 18 students per section)
and frequent writing assignments, this course asks students to develop their
skills as readers and interpretive writers by exploring a wide variety of
themes and techniques in poetry, fiction, and drama from many historical
periods. All sections assign 15-20 pages of writing, which will include several
formal essays, and may include journals and other written exercises.
English 101 is the prerequisite for all other English courses, except for
English 103, English 109, English 204, and creative writing courses. Students
who score a 5 on the AP English Literature exam, however, may take upper-level
courses without first taking English 101.
