Overcoming writing inhibitions through the development of a writing process is stressed through prewriting, practice in composition, revision and sharing of essays. This particular section has a Teacher TRAC emphasis for students preparing to enter the education field. Purchase texts and have appropriate materials in class. Do not expect other students or the instructor to supply materials for you. Attend class regularly.
Attendance means more than physical presence.
If for any reason you are unable to attend all or part of a class session, your contributions will be missed. Missing more than 30 minutes will be equivalent to a full class absence. Because participation is such an important part of class, a pattern of lateness or more than five absences will lower your grade or result in being dropped from the course. As a mature college student, you know that you are responsible for all lectures, discussions, videos, readings and other assignments, even if you are absent. Contact a classmate for notes, assignments, and handouts whether you miss all or part of a class.
