ENGH 302: Advanced Composition

ENGH 302-AN4: Adv Composition (Natural Sci)
(Summer 2023)

Online

Section Information for Summer 2023

English 302, Advanced Composition, Natural Sciences, teaches you how knowledge is created and transmitted in your field of study or discipline. To gain that knowledge, you will learn key methods and conventions of scholarly research in your field; how to articulate and refine your own question for scholarly inquiry; how to situate your investigation in an ongoing context or conversation in your field; and how to design a final project that adds new perspectives to the conversation. Advanced composition will help you engage in academic and non-academic inquiry as you work on narrowing a research question and as you engage with your discipline or field of study.

  • The summer session compresses a fifteen-week course into four-and-a-half This makes the summer pace intense, especially in a writing-intensive course like ENGH 302.
  • Essay drafts and final versions are due on
  • Expect to spend at least 15 hours per week to complete the work in this course. To put this in perspective, typical summer session f2f classes meet 11 hours each week with additional work outside of class
