Humanities & Communications - OER & Textbook Alternatives

English 101 focuses on the analysis of basic human issues as presented in literature with an emphasis on analytic reading, writing and discussion, and on development of argumentative essays based on textual analysis, with attention to style, audience and documentation. By writing several analytical, thesis-driven essays which show engagement with and understanding of a variety of texts, students will practice the critical thinking, reading and writing skills which comprise an important component of college and university studies as well as clear, audience-appropriate communications in other professional settings.Unless otherwise specified, this ENGL 101 – English Composition I course is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
