Welcome to ENC 1101 (Syllabus Below)

Thank you for signing up for this class. We will use this blog for current updates, out of class writings, and various projects. Please make sure you come to visit this page as much as possible throughout the semester...

In addition, I know that English I (because it’s required) is a course that some students are taking to “test the waters” of the higher educational environment to decide if college is “for them.” Others may be returning to school after years in the work force, and because they may have chosen a specific career goal, English I is the first step to that end. And finally, some students who are undecided on their career choice but want a college degree on their resumes are taking English I because it’s required and useful preparation for doing well in higher-level courses that require writing. Whichever of these three categories comes closest to your situation, I say to you that English I offers hands-on experience in reading and writing that will be extremely useful to your future.

While this will be a very interactive course (using lecture, group discussion, and individualized instruction), this will also be a very time-consuming course. I will expect your full attention during class (please no cell phones, texting, or useless websurfing) and I expect you to devote at least two hours out of class for every hour in class.

ASSIGNMENT FOR NEXT CLASS:

1. Purchase your books
2. Sign up for a Google Account and post underneath with a little bit about yourself and a link to your blog.
3. Read Chapter 1 in Patterns of College Writing
4. Download, read, and sign the syllabus.

"Help Glue My Pieces Back Together"

"Hello"? "Hey Sweetheart", "You ready for the big day?" asked my mom with a cracked voice. I start to cry as I reply back, "Yes!, Yes I am"! As soon as I went to put down the phone, a soft voice replies"Wait, Its me, I love you, and I'll be their tommorow to take you home with me!" I reconized the voice as a tear rolls down my face. Its was Sean. My Boyfriend!!!
