Section Information for Fall 2026

Welcome to ENGH 302 Advanced Composition.

In this course, you will strengthen your skills in rhetorical analysis, research, and writing across academic and public contexts. You will work with research and writing as iterative processes, developing and refining your ideas through inquiry, research, drafting, feedback, and revision.

As an advanced composition student, you will take greater responsibility for understanding and responding to the expectations of your field of study. You will learn strategies for breaking complex research and writing tasks into manageable steps, making informed rhetorical choices, and producing effective texts for different audiences and purposes. The goal is to help you become a more independent and confident writer who can adapt to the writing demands of your academic, professional, and personal life.

These goals are reflected in the ENGH 302 Advanced Composition Learning Outcomes, which guide the work we will do throughout the semester.

This course will be delivered through Canvas.

A note about AI: This section does not permit the use of generative AI for course writing and assignments. If you are specifically looking for an ENGH 302 section that incorporates AI into the writing process, other sections of the course may offer an AI pathway.
