Required for many 3000-level courses. Content: Reading and discussing representative twentieth century critical approaches to the study and understanding of written texts and producing analytical essays that apply critical methods to selected texts. Taught: Annually. Prerequisites: One survey course (ENG 1210, 1220, 1230, 1240, 1250, or 1270) completed and strongly recommended that ENG 3010 be completed. Not recommended for first-year students.
