ENG 2012 Summer 2024 - Smith

This course helps students think about what it means to be an English major and the different types of work and learning that happen within the discipline. Students will develop skills used in different areas of the English discipline and in the humanities more broadly, including close reading, annotation and analysis, drafting, workshopping and revision, concepts of thesis and argumentation, and key vocabulary. This class is intended to prepare students to be English majors, to show how English studies can be used both in college and in their career choices, and to expose them to the sheer pleasure of reading, writing, and critical thinking.
