ENC 1102: Sociocultural Construct for Research Writing
ENC 1102 emphasizes the discipline and community-specific nature of academic and public research writing through sustained, semester-long inquiry projects into topics related to writing, language, literacy, and/or rhetoric. Students learn to ask research questions that matter to specific communities, collect and analyze primary and secondary materials to extend public and academic conversations, refine research findings and continually revisit and extend ideas, and express those ideas across multiple genres and modalities. Through this process, ENC 1102 invites students to contribute to conversations about writing, language, literacy and rhetoric and introduces them to a range of research literacies that they can adapt for future use at UCF and beyond.
ENC 1102 includes an ePortfolio where students demonstrate the course learning outcomes. ePortfolios are also used as a direct measure for programmatic assessment.
ENC 1102: Student Learning Outcomes
Generating Inquiry. Students will be able to generate and explore genuine lines of inquiry related to writing, language, literacy, and/or rhetoric.

Information Literacy. Students will be able to evaluate and act on criteria for relevance, credibility, and ethics when gathering, analyzing, and presenting primary and secondary source materials.
Research Genre Production. Students will be able to produce writing that demonstrates their ability to navigate choices and constraints in a variety of public and/or academic research genres that matter to specific communities.
Contributing Knowledge. Students will be able to draw conclusions based on analysis and interpretation of primary evidence and place that work in conversation with other source materials.

UCF students are required to complete both ENC1101 and ENC1102 with a grade of C- or better in order to fulfill the General Education Program. Questions regarding AP, CLEP, and transfer credit for these courses should be directed to your college’s undergraduate advising office, to the College of Arts and Humanities Student Advising, or to the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
