ENC 1101 Composition I

ENC 1101 Course


Course Description & General Outcomes

ENC 1101 is a university parallel course in which the student writes expository themes in various modes. Research methods and library skills are introduced, and a documented paper is required. Each student is encouraged to use the writing lab to strengthen writing skills. Placement in ENC 1101 is determined by both standard and departmental assessment tests. A student must earn a grade of “C” or higher to meet the requirements of the Gordon rule.

Course Prerequisites

Placement is determined by assessment tests.

Course Attendance Policy

During the first week of class, you must complete an activity from the online orientation or you will be withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.

It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.

If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.  See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
