Required Texts

Course Overview and Objectives

English 0999 is meant to supplement English Composition I, and we will use our time together to address your individual writing needs. For those of you who have been away from an academic setting for many years it may serve as a "refresher" course; for those who did not receive much practice writing in high school it may serve as a college prep course; for non-native English speakers it may serve as a buffer for the writing demands of college-level courses. "College-level writing" and "academic grammar usage" and "basic composition" are all skills that can be learned. It is my goal this semester to help you learn those skills so that you can pass ENGL 1101.

To successfully complete English 0999, you must pass ENGL 1101.

This course is a Hybrid course. We will meet in the classroom once a month (see calendar) and will conduct the rest of our class business online in GeorgiaView and/via email. Additionally, each of you will schedule two 10-minute meetings with me, one before the midterm and one after.
