Critical Information about the REQUIRED final exam.

Welcome to your Composition I course! This CANVAS space contains the course materials for sections ENG-151-001, 002, 037, and 039. It also contains the class materials for Introduction to College Writing/ALP section (ENG-095-001). All the Comp I course material is identical, except for the syllabus.

NOTE: Students in the 095 section will receive a separate grade for each course, ENG095 and ENG151. See the course grades sections in the 095 syllabus for instructions about breaking out the grade for each class.

CRITICAL: The course is laid out top-to-bottom in Modules . To understand the overall structure and flow of the course, view it from Modules.

The main discussion boards are Ask Anne , for any non-personal question, and Gotcha! to report any problem in the course, such as pages which will not load or any grammar error on a Canvas page or handout.

For any grade or personal issue (like a request for an extension), use Inbox on the left-hand edge of the screen to send me a message. You can also write to anyone else in the course using the Inbox.

For weekly and other updates, see Inbox messages.

How do you do well in Composition I?

During this course, expect your writing to improve, no matter what your previous experience.
Follow directions carefully, even compulsively. Take every detail seriously.
Classroom students: Attend class, complete or review any assignments in Canvas after class, and check in to Canvas a few hours before class.
Online students: Log in and participate (complete some assignment or make some post) at least three times a week.
Read all Inbox messages carefully and promptly (many specific hints and directions and reminders come in Inbox messages).
Read all Gradebook Feedback promptly and ask any necessary questions. Click on the dialogue bubble next to each assignment.
Complete all assignments by the due dates. That's usually Tuesday noon, but some assignments have non-Tuesday due dates, so follow the Canvas calendar. The point of the Tuesday deadline is that you should usually finish by Sunday, but if you have last minute questions, those can be asked during conference or class sessions on Monday or Tuesday.
Use peer response and instructor feedback on assignments and polished drafts carefully to revise papers.

I'm looking forward to the semester. Thanks. AH
