Section Information for Summer 2026

English 302, Advanced Composition, Natural Sciences, teaches you how knowledge is created and communicated 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.

This is an online asynchronous section for Natural Science majors.
