This course builds on the rhetorical and compositional skills students mastered in ENG 101 and introduces the short story, the novel, the poem, and the play as the basis for analytical argumentative essays. Research skills, particularly borrowing and integrating ideas from electronic and print sources and assessing source appropriateness support student thinking and writing. ENG 102 is strongly recommended for students planning to major in English. Prerequisite: ENG 101 with a grade of C or better or A in ENG 100
