    Some Thoughts on College Preparatory English in the First Year


    I am looking forward to our journey in literature and other activities together this year Below are some thoughts I want to share with you. Heads Up!! You will be reading and writing a lot. The point is to learn stuff and to have some fun doing it, but it requires a commitment to set aside the time to do the work. It will be difficult at times. If its difficult all the time, it could be possible you have taken too big a bite of academia. If you believe thats the case. SEE ME AS SOON AS YOU ARE GETTING BEHIND --NOT WHEN YOURE DROWNING. We can work it out together. Ask Questions and Discuss Openly and Respectfully Plagiarism: It is perfectly legal to directly quote from any source when you are producing a document and declaring that the document is your work AS LONG AS

    YOU CITE THE SOURCES CORRECTLY. If you dont, you will have committed plagiarism and will receive an F for the Semester. Please ask questions about this issue at this time or at any other
    time. Grading: Tests includes papers: Quizzes Class Participation Overall Effort
