This advanced course, into which the Department of English and Philosophy places select cadets, further develops the skills of accomplished writers. This course demands a rigorous and disciplined approach to writing through intensive study and research. It also demands attention to the nuances and persuasiveness of language itself. The course challenges cadets to push their writing beyond basic, first-year academic prose through an emphasis on advanced figures of speech and thought, through a deliberate attention to style, and through an in-depth approach to reading and research. This course expects cadets to think critically and to discover and articulate new ideas and original arguments through persuasive, polished, and mature writing. Finally, this course instills habits of mind that will that will serve cadets throughout their academic and military careers. Because this is an advanced version of EN101, cadets will be placed in EN151 individually, based on the results of a placement exam given in the summer prior to enrollment and by approval of the Head of the Department of English and Philosophy.
