Course Info for Summer 2014

The SLCC English Department has created a share site in Canvas where we will now post updated course info for all courses. Info for Summer 2014 instructors who use The Academic Writer by Lisa Ede will be posted ASAP. Please contact Christine Young in English for info on how you can get access to this site. Thank you!

Spring 2014 Update

We’ve switched the file format of all updated documents for Spring 2014  (sample syllabi, schedules, writing assignments, etc.) from PDF to Word format (docx).  This should now allow you to  download the files and adapt them for your own classes.  Apologies for any confusion!

Spring 2014

Welcome to a new semester!  We’ve posted updates to the following documents on this site:

• Sample syllabi for both F2F/Tech-Enhanced and Online sections of English 1010
• Sample schedules of readings/assignments for both F2F/Tech-Enhanced and Online sections of English 1010
• Sample outlines for the Midterm Portfolio and Issue Exploration Project writing assignments (the same outlines may be used for all formats of English 1010)

All of the updated documents have been formatted as PDF files.  If you would also like access to Word documents for any of these updates, please respond to this post and let us know.

Best of luck as you begin a new semester of English 1010!

Welcome to Fall Semester, 2013!

Updated course info for the following courses is now available on this website:

• F2F EN 1010 (courses that meet solely on one of SLCC’s campus sites OR a concurrent enrollment section of the course which is taught at a local high school)
• Tech-Enhanced EN 1010 (courses that meet once a week in person and then do the rest of their work online)
• Online EN 1010 (courses that meet solely online)

Please check the appropriate tabs at the top of this page to find the updated general course syllabus and reading/assignment schedule for each of these courses.  Questions?  Add a comment here on the site and we’ll be back with you ASAP.  Cheers!

UPDATES to this site!

We’ve made a few cosmetic changes to the EN 1010 site here.  Hopefully they will make it easier for you to locate the information you need.  Now, instead of having to scroll through the entire homepage, searching for syllabi and schedules to fit your particular classes, you can simply choose from one of the following pages:

• F2F/Tech-Enhanced EN 1010 OR
• Online EN 1010

These new pages will contain the most up-to-date syllabi and scheduling information, organized by semester.  For now, the information from previous semesters is still located on the homepage of this site, as well as on the newly re-named “Syllabi Archives” page.

To find links to specific writing assignments, handouts and readings, please check the other pages on this site.  As always, we welcome your feedback!

For those of you who will be using The Academic Writer: A Brief Guide (2nd edition) by Lisa Ede in your fall classes, here are a couple of sample documents to help you get ready for the semester.

These documents are designed specifically for a traditional face-to-face class, so if you are teaching in a technology-enhanced format (i.e. you meet once a week in person and then the rest of your course discussions, peer reviews, assignment submissions, etc. are conducted online), please adjust these documents accordingly for your own sections of EN 1010.

NOTE:  Documents designed specifically for EN 1010 Online are listed in a separate posting on this blog.  Please check there for more details.  Thanks!
