Transfer composition courses at Shoreline Community
College prepare students for the kind of reading,
writing, research, critical thinking, and other
communication skills needed for success in future
academic classes and beyond.
Students in English 101, Composition and Expository
Prose, focus on short essays (typically 3-4 pages) that
may include research. They practice critical reading
skills such as analysis, synthesis, and application of
ideas. English 101 instructors choose their own
individual texts and course themes, so the courses vary
widely.
Students in English 102, Reasoning, Research, and
Writing, focus on research writing. Students learn the
research process, including contemporary search
techniques, note-taking, drafting, and finishing a large
research paper (typically 10 pages or more). They also
learn the critical reading skills needed to evaluate the
usefulness of information.
English 102 instructors choose their own individual
course theme and texts, so the content of classes vary
widely. In all transfer composition courses, students
learn to self-assess in order to revise their own
writing. Discussion of readings and assignments is an
important aspect of composition courses, whether they be
online or face to face.
