This course extends and intensifies the work of Composition I,
including research methods and documentation procedures.
Students are introduced to close-reading techniques to develop
critical thinking and writing skills through the study of culturally
diverse works in poetry and at least two other literary genres.
Writing assignments include a critical research paper applying
tools of literary analysis. Admission to the course requires completion of Composition I.

Here is my final research paper for this class
