This course develops students’ ability to write unified, cohesive and coherent essays. The rhetorical modes focused on in depth are Exemplification, Comparison-and-Contrast, and Cause-and-Effect. Because English 101 focuses on the revision stage of the writing process, students will engage in thoughtful analysis of their own as well as others’ writing. Students will explore the Reading/Writing connection and develop those reading skills which will be required throughout their academic and professional careers. Three process essays are required in the course.

Prerequisite: ENGL 101 | F, S, SI, SII
This course, the 2^nd in the English sequence of the AUD General Education Requirements, builds upon the basic expository skills developed in ENGL 101. ENGL 102 introduces students to the process of producing discussions in the various rhetorical styles of Argument as well as the proper inclusion of outside source material using proper MLA guidelines in order to avoid plagiarism.

Prerequisite: ENGL 102 | F, S, SI, SII
ENGL 103 is the 3^rd course in the English sequence of the General Education Requirements at AUD. The course gives students the opportunity to interact with texts in the genres of fiction, drama, poetry and essay. Texts represent a wide range of authors, cultures and perspectives. The course reinforces skills students acquired in ENGL 101 and ENGL 102, specifically critical reading, forming and supporting an argument, and research.

This course serves as students’ introduction to American university life. The content of the course is designed to give students an understanding of how a modern American university functions, their role as students at the university, and the most important skills involved in successfully fulfilling that role. These skills include critical thinking, problem solving and conflict resolution strategies. Students are introduced to many of the academic skills and philosophies which will ultimately be developed to higher levels in specific required and major courses.

Prerequisite: ENGL 102 | F
A survey of the culture, ideas, and values of human civilization from their origins in Prehistory to the 17^th Century. Emphasis is on the intellectual and artistic achievements of the ancient Middle East, Classical Greece and Rome, the Christian and Arab/Islamic Middle Ages, and Renaissance Italy showing how culture reflects and influences economic, social, and political development. Students are exposed to the creative process by reading from primary works of literature and philosophy and critically reviewing works of art, music, theater and dance, both in and out of class.

Prerequisite: WLDC 201 | S
A study of the development of the culture, ideas, and values of the early modern world to the present. Emphasis is on the Protestant Reformation, initial contacts between Europe and other cultures, the rise of modern science, the Enlightenment, the American and French Revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern styles in art, music and literature. Students are exposed to the creative process by reading from primary works of literature and philosophy and critically reviewing works of art, music, theater and dance, both in and out of class.
