Integrated instruction in reading and writing will help students develop the critical
thinking skills necessary for college-level courses. Students will engage in a variety
of reading and writing activities, concentrating on logical interpretation of what
they read and on clear expression of what they understand. Students will build their
vocabularies as they encounter increasingly complex reading materials, and they will
become more sophisticated writers and thinkers as they explore ideas through writing.
This course includes a supplemental lab for additional support. This course fulfills
the developmental requirements for students whose placement assessment scores indicate
the need. Open to all students. This course does not meet associate degree graduation
requirements.
This course is limited to two attempts. A grade of A, B, C, D, F, W, R, or X is considered
an attempt. The second attempt will require a minimum of one additional hour of instructional
time each week in a designated ACM study lab.
Prerequisite: Appropriate placement assessment scores.
2 credit hours
This course is taken concurrently with English 101. Students will concentrate on expressing

agreement, pronoun agreement, pronoun case, plurals and possessives, and common word
errors. Required of all students whose placement assessment scores and writing samples
indicate the need. (Exceptions can be made for students not pursuing a degree or certificate.)
Open to all students. This course does not meet associate degree graduation requirements.
