GENERAL EDUCATION: To assist students in developing skills in writing, reasoning, and arguing clearly and coherently, the English Department offers courses in writing and literature. The ability of stu- dents to read and think critically is essential to the acquisition of knowledge and to the development of the student as a productive member of society. Writing is a central mode of thinking because it involves mak- ing choices and ordering these choices effectively. The literature component of General Education asks stu- dents to explore expressions of what it means to be human. Literature provides students with a funda- mental understanding of the human condition and helps educate the mind and the senses about notions of beauty, truth, compassion, and honor.
