Description and Goals |
|
The primary goal of this course is to prepare you for
English 101. As such, we will focus on learning to think
critically, develop ideas, organize those ideas in a clear and
coherent structure, and communicate those ideas in clear and
precise language. We will do this by writing four papers,
focusing on a process of planning, writing, revision, and
editing.

| Special Note:
Assessing into ENG101 |
After completion of this course, whether you progress into ENG101 will be
determines in one of two ways:
- If you earn a grade of "B" or higher in this class, you will
continue on to ENG101. This is not dependent on your end of
semester essay. If you earn a grade of "B" or higher, you
move on to ENG101, period
- If you do not receive a grade of B or higher, you can still assess
into ENG 101 based in the End of Semester Essay. The EOS, as we call
it, is a timed essay written in class at the end of the semester (hence the
name). It will be assessed by a committee of three
teachers, none of whom is me. If this committee determines from your
essay that you are ready to begin ENG101, you will be cleared to enroll in
the course.
If neither of these things happen, you will be required to repeat
ENG099.
