English 2880-90 is an expository writing course taught in several sections each semester, jointly supported by the English Department and the John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines. Here's the GENERIC description that covers all of them.

English 2880-2890 offers guidance and an audience for students who wish to gain skill in expository writing -- the common term for critical, reflective, and literary nonfiction. Each seminar provides a context for writing defined by a form or use of exposition, a disciplinary area, a practice, or a topic intimately related to the written medium. Course members will read in relevant published material and write and revise their own work regularly, while reviewing and responding to each other's. Since these small courses depend on members' full participation, regular attendance and submission of written work are required. Students and instructors will confer individually throughout the term.
