Preparatory Course -Writing Skills
ENGL 1099 is a course offered primarily as a workshop and is designed to help students learn to write effective sentences and paragraphs. The course builds up to essay writing and a final exam.
First Semester Writing Courses
1. The actual format of each class, whether lecture, seminar, group activities or a mixture of these, will be the prerogative of the instructor.
2. The reading and writing requirements of both first semester courses will be approximately equal.
3. Both first semester courses will require at least five evaluated written assignments. Other types of assignments such as oral presentations, independent library research, seminars, and examinations may be used.
4. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the course, and meeting those obligations.
Both English 1100 and English 1110 introduce students to the demands of academic reading, thinking, and writing. The English department recommends students begin with either English 1100 or English 1110 and complete their first year of study in English with a first year literature course (ENGL 1201 - 1206). Students interested in completing a BA or a B.Ed may prefer to take English 1110.
All First-Year Literature Courses, 1201 through 1206
1. First-year literature students will study selected primary texts as well as literary terms and concepts. These courses will provide students with a framework from which to develop their own critical faculties, and will give students the necessary grounding from which to proceed to more advanced study. Class time, as necessary, will be devoted to preparation and composition of essays involving literature. Individual assistance will be available.
2. Although most first-year courses will examine the literature of the 20th century, some courses may study literature of earlier periods.
3. The actual format of each class, whether lecture, seminar, group activities, or a mixture of these, will be the prerogative of the instructor.
4. The reading and writing requirements of all first-year literature courses will be approximately equal.
5. All first-year literature courses will require at least four evaluated assignments, including essays and research. Other types of assignments - such as oral presentations, independent library research, seminars, and examinations - may be used.
6. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the course, and for meeting those obligations.
All Second-Year Courses, 2300 through 2319
1. Second-level courses require more demanding reading than first-level courses, concentrate on specific literary concerns rather than general thematic concerns, and may require the use of secondary sources and the writing of a research paper.
2. For admission to second-level courses in English, students must have first-year standing (grade-point average of 2.0 or better).
3. In second-level courses there will be differences in focus: some courses will focus on a particular literary tradition, while others may emphasize a particular genre or major writers. Whatever the case, the reading requirements of all second-level courses will be approximately equal.
4. All second-level courses require at least four evaluated assignments. Of these, at least two will be essays. Other types of assignments - such as seminars, in-class essays, oral presentations, research papers, and examinations - may be used.
5. Students are responsible for keeping themselves informed of the short-term and long-term requirements of the particular course, and for meeting these obligations.
