Creating an 1201-0160 syllabus

 

 

Remember this above all else:  ENGL0160 is not a separate course from ENGL1201, except from the perspective of Enrollment Services.  Pedagogically, you're teaching 1201; you just have more time to do it.  The students are reading and writing the same number of essays.

Some general principles

  1. Giving 0160 students time to begin assignments in class allows them to ask questions that would normally want to ask at midnight.
  2. Students can benefit from reading instruction that focuses on key strategies, including metacognitive strategies (reading self-awareness and control).  See webpages on Reading Goals-Activities Chart, Critical Reading Strategies, Reading Metacognition Checklist, Assigning Presentations on Readings, Reading Comprehension Strategies, Ways to Respond to Readings (Journaling)
  3. There will be more time to focus on language issues.  Specifically, once a week, one of the graduate teaching assistants will come in to tutor your students for an hour

Expanding the 1201 sequence

Here is an example of part of a 1201 sequence expanded to create a linked 1201-0160 syllabus.
