Vocabulary, advanced sentence structure problems, and special grammatical problems in writing will be explored. Prerequisite: A 3.0 overall GPA and a 3.0 or higher in English 1, passing score on the entrance test, recommendation of the student’s English 1 teacher, and approval of the department chair.
