The reading and 写作 program provides a supportive environment of small classes and trained professionals with the aim of preparing all students for success in the full college curriculum. The skills developed in these courses are helpful for students who have been out of school for a period of time or for students who have not been able to maximize their ability to learn. Active student learning is fostered through classroom discussions, collaborative peer interactions, and an integration of reading and 写作. Portfolios are used for 写作 assessment and exams are used for reading assessment.

Students are chosen at the teacher's discretion and final exam is administered by the instructor after the student has taken all three exams for the registered course.

Is there a department or college attendance and grading policy?

The general policy on attendance is a limit of absences totaling two weeks of the course. If a student exceeds that many absences, it is advised that the student be assigned an NA grade (Not Attending), though each instructor is entitled to create his/her own attendance policy.

What 写作 assignments are required for these courses?

Each Writing Skills course requires a minimum of 6 写作 assignments, some of which must be done in class, whether timed (40 minutes) or untimed. These move from one paragraph to several paragraphs in Writing Skills II, and five paragraphs each in Writing Skills III. Be sure to check the specific instructions for the final portfolio for your level, as each has its own criteria.

What quizzes or exams are required for these courses?

Reading Skills II and III each have two departmental exams and a departmental final. The majority of the final grade (usually 70%) is the aver年龄 of these three exams.

Our department does not use the D grade as a final grade and does not consider it passing. Final passing grades are A, B, or C. Final grades that require one to take the course again are F, MP, NA, or XA. We also give an RV grade for students eligible for the Reading 2 Express four-day review course (see "Courses" tab for more info).

Is the grade for the course incorporated into a student's GPA?

It is incorporated into the student's semester GPA, but not the cumulative one. In other words, it is used for institutional purposes, but not for graduation credits or overall GPA.
