English 118 - COLQ IN WRITING: ON THE ROAD

In sections limited to 15 students each, this course primarily provides systematic instruction and practice in reading and writing academic prose, with emphasis on argumentation. The course also provides instruction and practice in conducting research and in public speaking. Particular sections of this course are designed to support nonnative speakers and bilinguals, who are strongly encouraged to consider those sections. Priority is given to incoming students in the fall-semester sections. Course may be repeated for credit with another instructor.: When we leave the places we call home, we become travelers.  How much of ourselves do we take with us? How much do we leave behind? These questions confront the adventurer and the immigrant, the philosopher and the rogue. Readings focus on various forms of travel and their effects on the traveler as well as on the new lands she inhabits. (E)
