Please see online course information for details about how an online class works.

Students need to have access to a reliable computer with a good Internet connection (high bandwidth) and word processing software.

English 110 is designed to prepare students for entry into ENGL 120 (English 1A, traditional freshman composition). Students will practice the writing process by composing sentences, paragraphs and essays with emphasis on correct and effective expression through the study of appropriate language skills. Readings will be studied to stimulate clarity of thought and written expression. By the end of the course, students will be able to write a basic position paper by using and acknowledging at least one source. AA/AS GE

Now that you've read through the official description, I can tell you that this is an interesting and useful course that helps you write better papers for all of your classes. The class is very interactive, and much of the time is spent with students talking about what they write and how they can improvetheir writing. As this is an on-line class, class discussion will take place via the course management site, WebCT

Welcome Spring 2006 Students

You must attend the on campus orientation for this class. You will receive materials and instruction about the course, it's requirements and how to be an on-line student. You should also complete the student information form by the first day of class.

I use WebCT for class management (quizzes, grades, turning in work, discussion). The course Web site has a link to the WebCT login. You will not be able to log into class until you attend the Orientation. Once at the Orientation, let me know if you are unable to log in to WebCT with your student user name (usually firstlast) and PIN (usually 6-digit birthday).

To get started with the class, go to the online schedule and do everything listed for the current week. Click any links in the schedule for instructions, demonstrations, presentations, etc. You'll want to begin every class session by visiting the online schedule.

If you are new to online learning, it will probably take a few weeks to get used to how I do things. Plan to spend a little extra time at first and don't hesitate to email or call if you feel lost. That's what I'm here for.
