Welcome to English 100,
Freshman Composition
What I've tried to do with this course is to break it up into
do-able, weekly units, each unit asking of you roughly the same
amount of time and effort. If you keep up with the work
assigned each week, you should be able to complete the course
successfully.
There are three parts to this
orientation. To confirm your enrollment in the course, you
need to complete all three.
- A
brief description of the course - for a full description,

to confirm your enrollment in the course.
