English 10 is designed to introduce students to the history
and variety of American literature from its beginnings to the Civil War.
Representative works are read as examples of various genres, literary trends,
and historical eras. (One
section taught once a year.)
English 83 is a beginning level composition course for
students who need to master and retain basic writing skills.
This class will provide students with all the skills needed to write
well-constructed sentences and paragraphs.
By the end of the semester, the basics of essay writing will be
introduced. (One
section taught once a year.)
English 84 is designed as a beginning level composition course. Students will learn and practice the basics of written communication, beginning with paragraphs, concentrating on essays, and ending with the basics of using research in essay writing. Students will write, revise, and edit a number of paragraphs and essays as they practice the skills discussed in class. (One section taught every semester.)
English A is a basic college composition course in which students will work on developing writing skills. This course will focus on learning to write with specific details and proper grammar while exploring personal opinions and arguments in order to develop coherent, well-organized essays. Research, incorporation of outside sources into essays and proper documentation will also be introduced. (One section taught every semester.)
English 1A is a college-level composition and reading course in which students will work on developing and strengthening writing, reading and research skills. In this course, students will learn how to write persuasive essays in response to professional fiction and non-fiction and student-conducted research. In addition to lecture, the class will consist of group discussions and activities. (One section taught every semester.)
English 1B is a transfer-level literature course in which students will read and learn about the four major classifications of literature: short fiction, poetry, drama, and long fiction (or the novel). In addition, this course will concentrate on different literary schools of thought, terms and styles. Writing about literature is essential to this course, so students will learn how to write literary analysis and research papers. (One section taught once a year.)
The objective of English 41 is to develop reading comprehension strategies, study skills, and schemata so that students will improve their reading and critical thinking skills appropriate for college-level reading needs. (I teach this class occasionally and not on a regular basis.)
