ENC 1102: Composition II - Blended
Course Description: This course focuses on teaching quality writing skills and literary analysis. The point of this course is to help you improve your ability to analyze a literary (or visual) text and write quality, intelligent, sophisticated college-level essays. Within this course, you’ll apply what you’ve learned from our textbook readings and the lessons on the course website to write several papers, take a final exam, and complete several graded quizzes. In addition, it will be important to regularly participate in the class and discussion-board conversations.
This is a 3-hour credit, blended course: the class will meet twice a week, and you will also have to conduct work online, in D2L. As some of the course materials will be posted online and some assessments and assignments will also be taken online, you should be able to login to BC online - D2L as soon as the course is available and continue to log in regularly to complete all your assignments and assessments by their due dates. You also need to complete the online orientation and take the Orientation Quiz during the first week of class. You need to complete the Orientation Quiz and score 100 points in order to get access to the Course Lessons in D2L; also, failure to complete this requirement by the date stated in the syllabus will lead to your being withdrawn from the course.
