Welcome to Freshman Composition!

Hello and welcome to ENGL 1010, Freshman Composition.

The beginning of the semester is always an exciting (if not a bit crazy) time of the year. Students are rushing around trying to figure out where each classroom is, what books they need from the bookstore, and whether or not the new professor is going to be hard! We instructors are very busy also planning lessons, writing rubrics, and trying to learn everyone’s name. But, after a few weeks, everything settles down as everyone gets comfortable with the new schedules.

In my classes, we jump right into learning. From day one we begin learning about language and how it works. Since this is foundational to everything else we will be doing this semester it is very important that you come to class every time we meet.

I have designed this website to assist you with this class this semester. To the right are links to all the important handouts and assignments we will be working on this semester. As we proceed through the semester I will upload additional materials and handouts. It is important to check this site often for updates and information.

I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone! Let’s have a great semester!
