Survey of Western Art from 1300 to the Present

English 1101 is the introductory college composition course. Its goal is to develop your reading, writing, and analytical skills while fostering awareness of your own discursive practices. By reflecting critically on literacy practices and engaging in your own, you will become more nuanced practitioners of language. You will begin the course by writing literacy narratives that focus on such concerns as language diversity, orality, and language and technology. While academic discourse is important in this course, the primary emphasis is on your ability to negotiate multiple contexts and writing situations rather than becoming familiar with only academic language. Prerequisite: CUNY proficiency in reading and writing.

This course builds on its prerequisite, ENG 1101. Together, we will explore and write within new genres, conduct research, and reflect on our writing practices. The big goal is that after you finish this sequence, you’ll be able to analyze and participate in genres inside and outside of higher ed. We’re aiming to build skills that will be useful in future coursework, the workplace, and in your personal lives. In other words, this course isn’t self-contained—we’re aiming to give you a toolbox of skills that you can apply across situations.
