Welcome to English 100:
A Web Site for Your Class

English 100 has always been one of my favorite courses because it doesn't try to do everything for everybody. It is narrowly focused. Its singular goal is to help students improve as writers so they will be writing at least at a C or better level at the beginning of the next writing course, English 110: College Writing. It's that simple. You complete the assignments at a level that would be passing or better in English 110, and you will pass this course. Sometimes that involves a lot of writing and rewriting, editing and revising. 

Like English 110
The assignments in this course are the same as or similar to the assignments students have in English 110. In fact, I like to think this course is training or rehearsal for the main event or the real performance--English 110. In English 100 you will learn how to write college level assignments, correct errors, and become an overall better writer. I will be like a coach, a director, or a mentor. I will be working with you.

Pass-Only Grade
Please note that this course is graded only Pass/No Credit. That means you get five credit hours when you pass. You also go on to English 110. You get no credit hours if you don't pass. You also don't go on to English 110. Your grade point is not affected, either way. 

When I am not reading your papers, I also like to get outdoors and rock climb, or take pictures and enjoy quiet moments, like the one in the picture below with Rocky Mountain Goat in Montana's Glacier National Park. If you would like to read "The Goat Story," click on the picture.

Enough of this. I know you're interested in what you will have to do in the class, so let's keep moving.
