English C1000: Academic Reading & Writing
In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. English C1000E, the alternate course, is the same as English C1000 but includes two extra units of supplemental instruction and support.
My English 100 courses focus on an academic writing technique called “critical storytelling,” which is a critical framework for identifying, critiquing, and dismantling oppressive majoritarian narratives through the art of counterstorytelling. This course includes an examination of critical theory, critical race theory, and critical storytelling, and students can expect to advance their critical reading and writing techniques.

IDST 101/103: Humanities Honors Seminar I/II
IDST 101: Introductory interdisciplinary research seminar for students admitted into the Honors Project program.

Working through an interdisciplinary seminar theme, students expand upon and deepen the content of a linked transfer course from the Humanities Cluster (Language Arts, Creative Arts, and Social Sciences). Students apprehend fundamental interdisciplinary theory, and complete a distinct scholarly project that extends a content area of the chosen transfer course. Emphasis on peer collaboration, the fundamentals of research methodology, critical inquiry and effective written and oral presentation.

Emphasis on mentoring IDST101 students, and the pursuit of more original and independent research.
