About ENGL 1310

Here's what you need to know about English 1310.

IMPORTANT: Always read your syllabus to get the most complete, up-to-date information! This information does not cover everything, and it does not replace your course syllabus.

 

 

Think you'll only practice reading and writing? Not quite. College-level English classes focus more on what to write and how to analyze written information. It goes beyond just "reading and writing" — and certainly beyond just grammar.

In English 1310, you will

• do three major essays
• learn to give peer feedback

All your reading materials for this class are available online through Canvas. In addition, we will do activities in class, so always come prepared with the following:

• Laptop — if you don’t have one, you can check one out from AUDB 102. You can also borrow one from the library at the Spark Makerspace.
• Writer’s Notebook — you must bring a spiral notebook to class each time you meet. (Bring it to TSIW 1300, too, if you're enrolled in that course.)
• Pen or pencil — because you will take notes!

You will need to start exercising some habits as soon as class starts. The habits you need are the same ones used by good college students. You should

• come to every class meeting
• come to every class prepared to participate in that day's lesson
• come to every class on time
• start working on your assignments as soon as you can
• turn in your assignments on time (or early!)
• reach out to your professor or TA as soon as you start having trouble with anything

These habits will greatly improve your chance at success. I know you can do it!
