Online Advanced English Composition
ENG 105 - Advanced First-Year Composition
Overview
Combining English 101 and English 102 into one semester, this writing intensive class will ask you to read, research, and compose intensively. In this course you will develop and refine strategies for researching, drafting, and revising research-focused projects in higher education and professional settings. Using various writing technologies, you will be tasked with creating four major projects: A culturally responsive recipe blog post, a website that rhetorically analyzes a specific place, a podcast that examines how activists use writing to create change, and a reflective digital portfolio that highlights the writerly problem-solving skills you’ve developed throughout the course.
Course prerequisites and requirements
To be successful in this course, we recommend English language fluency and computer literacy. We also encourage you to make sure your laptop or desktop computer meets the technical requirements.

Transcript
This course appears on your transcript identically to how it appears on the transcript of an enrolled ASU student who has taken the course on one of ASU’s campuses.
This course satisfies 3 credit hours toward the First-year Composition requirement at Arizona State University. At ASU, the course will count for both of the composition credits (replacing ENG 101 and 102). It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring your credit.
