Course Outcomes English 101 is the middle of Lower Columbia College s composition series. Some might argue that English 101 is the most important part of the series because 101expands on existing skills and introduces new ones for writers who might use them later in English 102 or in the workplace. The emphasis in 101 is on expository writing, writing for a purpose rather than as storytelling. English 101 is a graded course. Grades are earned by successful completion of assignments.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due dates given in the Class Schedule.
I will not accept late homework or makeup class assignments. I will accept late essays, if the reason for the delayed work is acceptable to me. I say this because I want my students to keep me informed of their difficulties. Preferably, the excuse will occur before or on the due date. Late essays will be penalized unless the delay was caused by illness, in which case the essay will be due immediately upon student's return to class unless other arrangements are made.
