Students continue to develop skills in close critical reading comprehension and written composition through exploration and evaluation of the connected arts of literature and film, and study of the relationships between cinematic form and literary genres, such as drama and the novel. Students critically and creatively evaluate a variety of literary and cinematic genres, interpret and analyze a range of rhetorical strategies, and apply diverse critical perspectives. While the specific literary genre and the selected films change each year, students learn to reflect critically and creatively and to articulate complexities and assumptions of various literary and cinematic texts, considering their historical, political, and cultural contexts. Students investigate a topic, using scholarly writing that illustrates grammatically-correct style and appropriate documentation skills. Prerequisite: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent OR permission of instructor or department chair
