ENG-103 Composition II
Composition II focuses on the rhetorical concerns of argument. The course provides students with increased practice (begun in Composition I) in research, analysis, and genres of writing and explicit instruction in independent student-generated research. The course emphasizes academic research-based reading and writing done throughout college as well as the transfer of these skills into the professional realm. This course carries SUNY General Education Written Communication credit.
