READ 10

About this course

This course examines the role of post-secondary reading theory and concepts within literary works and other domains of the humanities. This examination is founded on an intensive study of post-secondary reading as a recursive and intellectual development of comprehension, analysis, problem-solving, reflective judgment, and interpretation skills through a range of challenging texts in multiple literary genres, as well as primary-source material from various cultural perspectives across the disciplines. Rhetorical comprehension promotes the development of a literary consciousness leading to personal and academic growth that will engage students as full participants in college, civic life, and global society.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
