ENGL 101S Enhanced Reading Course Calendar and Assignments
HOW TO USE THIS CALENDAR
As this is a class that requires diligence and continual attention to deadlines, following
the calendar is especially important. IT
IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT ONE FOLLOWS THE CALENDAR as to when assignments and other work are
due. Week one is the first full week of regular classes….generally, weeks for spring break and
such do not count as a week on the school calendar.
Below is the course calendar. Be aware that reading listed for a week is due THAT WEEK.
Likewise, written assignments are due as indicated on CANVAS. THERE IS NO LATE WORK ACCEPTED. Thus, getting behind more than
three weeks in a course like this is often fatal, so keep up with the work. ASK QUESTIONS.
Reading assignments are linked in the calendar. Writing tasks are
explained at the end of each chapter.
Using all of this information requires a bit of organization, so follow these general
instructions. For each week, begin by reading assigned work from the calendar.
Following that, read the online presentation of the format strategy for the week,
(Fragments, Org & Outline, Quoting Your Sources, How To Take A Test, etc.). You are also
required to read the discussion of the MODE for that week in
Online Presentations (Process, Using Examples, Description, etc.). This will allow you to follow
the schedule and be topical in the class room. Read the directions. Most of
this syllabus is self-explanatory.
This is the map of our activities for the next 16 weeks.
