English 112, a three-hour academic course that is required of all students at Bowling Green State University, is designed
to prepare students for the types of academic writing they will be expected to do in college. Therefore, the emphasis in English
112 is on the development of critical and analytical skills that are used in both writing and reading. In order to help students
develop these valuable skills, the course assists students through the process of writing critiques of academic articles,
argument essays which synthesize multiple sources, and academic research papers.
As students work on their various 112-level assignments, they acquire practice with the following, at a more sophisticated
level than is expected of students taking English 110 or English 111:
- choosing and narrowing topics
- navigating BGSU's libraries
- selecting and evaluating appropriate sources
- writing to a variety of academic audiences
- considering the role visual rhetoric and other technologies play in their papers
- writing several necessary drafts to arrive at a polished, coherent final draft
- citing sources appropriately
- using acceptable documentation format
Questions regarding English 112 may be directed to the General Studies Writing Office at 419/372-7885.
