 ONLINE
COURSES

|
Online courses are
for the student who is quite comfortable with taking responsibility
for her or his own work as well as with writing online. Computer
sophistication is not required, but each student will need an
email address. (We will help you get a free email address
if you need one.) The benefit of these courses is that they
are completely flexible and will fit into almost any schedule.
Please notice that all of our online courses are hybrids;
that is, some class sessions are required.

English 101 College Reading and
Writing online is the basic freshman English course. Students
read various kinds of material, emphasizing expository writing.
We will meet in class for inclass writing and for work on the
term paper. Class requirements include online discussion of
the reading, writing in response to the reading, some in class
and some online, a research paper and a final essay.

English 102 Introduction to Literature
online examines fiction, drama, poetry and the novel. The bulk
of work will be done on line. There will be various in class
meetings to discuss class issues, technical questions and to
perform in class essays, as well as the final exam. Each student
will be expected to log on to the class a minimum of 3 hours
each week, as well as reading the material and creating essays.
Former students of this class
have remarked how much they have enjoyed analyzing literature
and writing about on line. For more information, please contact

English 103 Composition and Critical
Thinking online is one of two critical thinking courses offered
by the English department. It focuses on developing
critical analysis skills through the evaluation of "real world"
modes of communications such as essays, editorials, critical
thinking in written arguments by applying established modes of
detecting propaganda techniques. It builds on the reading
and writing skills developed in English 101.
