Course Description:

The transition from high school to college-level writing is one that nearly every college freshman finds challenging. Whether or not students plan on majoring in the humanities, they will inevitably take a course that requires advanced reading and writing skills. This summer course is designed to bridge the gap between college and high school writing and help students gain exposure to the most influential works of literature in human history.
Students will choose two works from the Greco-Roman time period to read, discuss, and write about over the course of the summer. Short responses of a paragraph or two to discussion questions will be assigned each week.

At the end of the course, students will submit a 4-6 page argumentative paper about one of the works they read over the summer. Detailed constructive feedback will be provided throughout our odyssey together!
