This course, which is designed primarily for those not planning a specialization in English, introduces students to literary
texts and persuasive forms of writing, bringing to the fore some of the links between language and contemporary social and
political issues. Course materials will represent diversity in terms of national origins, gender, race, and class. The course
emphasizes the use of figurative language as well as the development of students' critical reading and writing skills. Students
planning to major or minor or pursue an area of concentration in English must take ENGL*1080 and ENGL*2080, but may also take ENGL*1200 and count it as an elective lecture.
