English

Preparatory Course - Writing Skills

English 0099 is a course offered primarily as a workshop and is designed to help the student learn to write effective sentences and paragraphs. The course concludes with an introduction to essay writing.

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 fulfilling those obligations.
Both English 1100 and English 1110 introduce students to the demands of academic reading, thinking, and writing. Students are recommended to plan their studies so that they 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, while students intending to complete a B.Sc. or a Business Degree may prefer to begin their studies with English 1100.

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, as well as 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 Literature Courses 2309 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 literature, students must have first-year standing (grade-point average of 2.0 or better) in any two courses from the following list.
· ENGL 1100, 1110, ENGL 1200, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1205, 1206,
CRWR 1100.
Although Creative Writing (CRWR 1100) will help you gain admission to second-level courses in English, it does not act as substitute for a first-level English course or help you fulfil first-level English requirements at other post-secondary institutions.
3. In second-level courses there will be differences in focus: some courses will focus on the historical 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 mid-term or final 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.

Prerequisite/Admission Requirements

All students who intend to enroll in an English course at Kwantlen University College must present one of the following at registration:
· English 12 or Literature 12 grade.
· Results of the Kwantlen English assessment test or the Language Proficiency Index (LPI).
This information will not be used to determine eligibility to enter Kwantlen University College, but rather to direct students to the courses best suited to their ability. Students with an identified serious weakness in writing will be directed to ENGL 0099 or other appropriate writing courses or to EASL courses.
The TOEFL test does not assess a person's ability to do an English literature or composition course. International students, who do not meet the English 12 or Literature 12 requirement, are required to write the LPI or Kwantlen University College's English assessment test.

Transfer

UBC

Students who want transfer credit for first-year English at UBC will normally require six Kwantlen University College credits: that is, two courses selected from the following: ENGL 1100, 1110, 1200, 1201, 1202, 1203, 1205, or 1206. (Students may not take both ENGL 1100 and ENGL 1200 for first-year equivalency.) Students should consult with UBC regarding specific faculty requirements for first-year English.
Students who want general transfer credit for second-year English Literature at UBC (six units of UBC second-year English Literature, unassigned) will require six Kwantlen University College credits; that is, two courses selected from ENGL 2309, 2310, 2313, 2315, 2316, 2317 and 2319.
Students who want specific transfer credit to English 1201 (students wishing to major in English for example) should select Kwantlen University College courses ENGL 2316 and 2317.
Only certain UBC faculties require the completion of ENGL 1201 or its equivalent. In many faculties the general 6 units of the second-year English Literature, unassigned, will satisfy the literature requirement. See the UBC calendar for the literature requirement of a specific faculty.
