Book Description

This D2S2 ENGL 1302 (Composition II) course builds upon the foundation established in the D2S2 ENGL 1301 (Composition I) course, continuing the trajectory from personal to academic writing. While ENGL 1301 introduced students to academic writing contexts and taught them how to use research to explore topics before forming perspectives, ENGL 1302 advances these skills by focusing on developing well-researched academic arguments.

The ENGL 1302 course deepens students’ understanding of research methodologies, critical analysis, and argumentation, preparing them for more complex academic and professional writing tasks. As a result, ENGL 1302 guides students through proposing and conducting research, culminating in an argumentative academic research paper. The assignment sequence ensures that students who continue beyond ENGL 1302 are equipped with advanced skills in research, analysis, and argumentation, essential for upper-level coursework and various professional contexts.
