Horizon Hall - Hybrid

Section Information for Spring 2027

English 302 builds on the rhetorical awareness and other skills that you learned in English 100/101 by introducing a disciplinary context for advanced research and writing alongside learning career readiness skills through joining a research team and leading a project. This course helps you: understand how knowledge is created and transmitted (and the key conventions of research) in your discipline, articulate and refine your own research question and situate your investigation in an ongoing context or conversation, synthesize your research with similar research projects, and individually design a major public-facing project that adds new perspectives to the conversation.

This is a hybrid section with face-to-face meetings and asynchronous online coursework that is recommended for Social Science majors.
