ENGL-121    College Composition I: Expository Writing  (3 credits)

ENGL-121 is the first of a two-semester sequence of college-level composition courses. (ENGL-122 is the second course in the sequence for most HCC degree programs. ENGL-121 transfers as university-parallel freshman English.) ENGL-121 guides students through the expository writing process through close reading of contemporary critical discourse and teaches the rhetorical arts of argument and persuasion through critical thinking, reading and research. Students will develop an understanding of themselves as readers and writers of culture as they participate in public discourse about writing; examine the relationship among writer, audience, and purpose; and practice writing prose through a recursive process. Students completing this course should be able to write persuasive, researched and documented essays (of at least 1,000 words) demonstrating the conventions of standard written English and manuscript presentation.

PRQ: Eligibility to enroll in ENGL-121 is based on English placement test scores or the successful completion of required developmental English course work.

Approaching writing as a recursive process, this course emphasizes scholarly inquiry, literary analysis, and research.
