‘Assignments Specifics’
English 101.OEOE
You are expected to complete four (4) essays—the one serving as the Final Exam—a simple outline for each essay, and four (4) summaries. The first three essays, outlines, and summaries of the chapters associated with them are worth 60% of the final grade in the course. The last (fourth) essay, outline, and the summary associated with it are worth 30% of the final grade in the course. An objective ‘grammar and usage’ test to be taken between January 10h and April 24th during Lab Testing Hours is worth 10% of the final grade in the course.
Please remember that you need to complete all four writing assignments and take the test for any chance to pass the course.
