Other Information about the Course |
Hello! My name is Prof. Bruck, and I am delighted to be your instructor for this course.
Course Description: This course is designed for students majoring in technical, pre-engineering, and scientific fields. Assignments reflect actual technical writing tasks, with a focus on subject, purpose, and audience.
Prerequisites: COMP110 (C or better) or permission of the Department of Language and Literature.
Texts and Materials:
- NONE! All texts and materials will be available for free online
Hybrid Learning: This composition class, including the focus, readings, assignments, and assessments, is largely the same as a face-to-face course, except that we will be meeting and communicating with each other both online as well as live, in a classroom. The online components, while more convenient for many, leaves a significant responsibility on the student to stay organized to keep pace with the course content, discussions, and assignments. All of the learning outcomes and standards in this hybrid are identical to the face-to-face and online versions of the course. This almost goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: students have to be able to access a dependable computer that is connected to the Internet. Home or work computers that experience problems do not release you of the responsibilities and deadlines related to this course. If you have technical problems, please go to an alternative location such as a friend’s house or library to complete class work. |
