This course, designed for non-native speakers of English at an advanced level of proficiency in written English, focuses on sophisticated analysis and evaluations of texts and on the writing of essays that expand and refine thinking about issues and ideas from across the disciplines.  Students analyze and evaluate ideas and information from a variety of sources, including electronic databases and networks, providing appropriate documentation.  Students acquire the skills to choose the appropriate rhetorical stance for different ideas, purposes, and audiences, and produce thesis-centered essays as a result of synthesizing multiple positions on global issues.  At the end of this course, students will know how to write effective, analytical, college-level essays incorporating research and how to synthesize ideas from sources properly and effectively in their essays.
