ENGL 11 — Academic Reading and Critical Thinking
This course is designed to introduce students to critical thinking as critical reading in academic discourse. Students will analyze, interpret, critically evaluate, and advocate ideas. This course covers literal and critical thinking levels of academic reading, and it focuses on specific themes, content areas, and/or strategies. This is a variable-unit course, and students may take from 0.5 to 3 units. One (1) unit of community college work requires 54 hours of studying (SCCCD AR 4020), and 0.5 of a unit equals 27 hours of class work. This course counts as an Area A elective for CSU; it is not a substitute for ENGL-C1000.
