In ENGL C1000, 102, and 103, students develop writing skills that demonstrate strong organization of argument (intro - duction, thesis, supportive paragraphs, and conclusion), sophis - ticated criticism and analyses of college level reading, which includes both literary works and philosophical discourses, and proper grammar use with emphasis on word and sentence style. ENGLISH 127 and courses in the ENGLISH 200 series focus on lit - erature and the creative process, elevating critical thinking skills to include literary theory. These courses promote not only comprehen- sive learning, but also the lifelong pursuit of knowledge. They pro - vide a mastery of transfer-level skills, so that students achieve their occupational goals and are ready to face increasingly competitive demands of business and industry.
