ENGL 202HEffective Writing: Honors

3 credits · English · Penn State

ENGL 202H teaches the distinctive features of professional and scholarly writing across disciplines, while inviting students to develop their professional identities. Unlike existing 202 versions 202H is designed for students in all majors, with assignments that address more area-specific expectations while highlighting commonalities and the need to communicate with non-specialist audiences. 202H is intended as rigorous preparation for third-year students preparing for an honors thesis or project, by examining how to identify and develop a topic, how to contextualize it within wider scholarship, and how to convey its significance within and beyond the field.
