ENG 198 - Foundations of the English Major

3 credits

This course introduces students to the foundations of the English major and offers in-depth study and application of research techniques, introduction to scholarly research in the field, library resources, and methods of critical evaluation. This course introduces students to methods of literary research, scholarship, and a critical vocabulary necessary for the writing of sophisticated papers. In addition, this course will address central questions in the English major and within the specializations such as the following: What are the goals of reading literature? What are the goals of writing for the professions? How do you write creatively? By looking at the three specializations, students will understand the similarities and differences inherent in each specialization and will examine different ways of thinking about meaning, language, reading, and writing.
