ENGL 2150

Students continue to develop close critical reading comprehension through investigation of women’s writing from a variety of time periods, diverse sociocultural backgrounds, and genres. Students understand and apply theoretical concepts, including voice, identity, and difference, to critically evaluate various elements of the female experience. Students critically and creatively interpret and analyze women’s writing to consider and articulate how gender can unify women and give them a shared sense of power, while also acknowledging the complexities and multiplicities of female identity and experience as reflected by such differences as social class, ethnicity/culture, gender, and sexual expression, They investigate a topic, applying various critical perspectives and rhetorical strategies towards composing articulate arguments. Through the practice of scholarly writing, students illustrate grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills.
