English composition & literature at Whatcom
Here's what English classes do for you:
Composition classes at WCC introduce you to "college writing" in all its richness and complexity. You become more aware of yourself as a student-writer and student-scholar. You use writing as a process of inquiry and communication, and learn about writing for an academic audience.
Creative writing classes encourage you to try out your imagination and talent in the craft of fiction and poetry writing.
Literature classes open windows into other lives and other times. Thinking and writing about those other experiences can leave you wiser and more compassionate. Literature gives you a chance to explore what it means to be human.
