| The objectives of the second half of Freshmen Compostion, ENC 1102, carry on those of ENC 1101, but concentrate on the interpretation of literature in an attempt to develop critical-thinking, observation, analytical, and comprehension skills. Through various readings, journal entries, a mandatory research project, and instructed guidance, students will further develop those written and verbal skills begun in ENC 1101. ENC 1102 is also a Gordon Rule course requiring that at least 6000 words be written by each student upon its completion. This section of ENC 1102 meets in the English Department's computer classroom, CPR-202. The object of this section is to familiarize the student with various new approaches to instruction and communication, emphasizing pragmatic and theoretical concerns in the process. The computers will assist the instructor, but in no way attempt to replace him; they are tools that will help with efficiency, variety, and practicality in the instruction and learning of Freshmen Composition. It should also be noted that this class is not a computer class, but an English class; writing is still our primary concern. The computer instruction will be limited to the applications utilized by the class. |
