Developmental English (ENGL 0310)

Instructor: Douglas Cameron

The dominant focus of English 0310 is on Writing Process, reading and thinking critically for evaluation purposes, and the production of writing products that demonstrate both provocative reading and effective presentation. Students will have ample opportunities to learn, apply, practice, and refine writing skills.

Course Objectives: The primary objective of English 0310 is to teach students the central components of academic writing and prepare them for future English composition and other college course writing as well as career writing. Students will gain extensive experience using Writing Process, rhetorical modes, structural strategies, and standard conventions of grammar, usage, and mechanics. Successful students will master these writing techniques with sufficient skill to address freshman level English composition and any state testing requirements. Developmental English 0310 Objectives include and incorporate federally mandated SCANS SKILLS (workplace skills) in both curriculum and classroom instruction and applications.
