Final exams may not be rewritten. Guidelines for the portfolio will be provided by each instructor. You will also write a cover letter for your portfolio that explains your progress as a writer during the course. Your instructor may also consider your attendance, your participation in class discussions, and the progress of your writing when assigning final grades. If you have a time conflict with another class being offered at the same time as your section's final exam time, you should either arrange to take the English 090 makeup exam or talk to your instructor.
Research shows that writing on a word processor improves writing skills.
Because writing is a process of prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing, traditional methods of typing or handwriting assignments are often time-consuming and ineffective. Certainly, they discourage revision. The computer, on the other hand, makes revision and the writing process more manageable at every stage. This is a course designed to give you every opportunity to succeed. You will have numerous opportunities to review your writing with your instructor and with the in-class tutor who is trained to provide specific suggestions for improving your writing.
