*These courses, and any others that require intensive writing and literary analysis, are strongly recommended to hone your writing skills in preparation for the analytical and critical writing you will do in upper-division English courses at FIU. Some of these courses may fall directly under MDCs General Education requirements, but others can count as electives.

**If this course is taken at MDC, it will transfer as an upper division course at FIU, which is required of all English majors.
