Course Description

College Requirements

​

ENGL 117 English Composition I (3-0-3) Prerequisite: None

This course will help students to write essays in different styles which will allow them to understand how texts are constructed. Furthermore, students will learn how to organize structure their work starting/from sentence level to paragraph level, and to the essay level. It will further introduce students to summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting.

ENGL 118 English Composition II (3-0-3) Prerequisite: ENGL 117

This course complements English Composition I by introducing freshmen students to concepts and techniques necessary for writing a research paper. These include collection and evaluation of sources, note taking, and interpretation of data, synthesis, and documentation.​​

​​GS 161 Arabic Practical Grammar (2-0-2) Prerequisite: None

Studying chosen parts of Arabic grammar, verbs, the five verbs, nouns that are subject to desinential infliction with letters, derivatives, abrogatives, indeclinable, numbers, hamzah, in a practical way with numerous applications.
