English Department
The English Department tab includes texts to inform faculty of department-specific procedures. It also includes documents provided by the department for use in and/or assistance with teaching Composition. If interested in using any of the sources intended for the students provided in the Writing Repository, please download documents, make indicated changes, and add them to your Blackboard course shells. Students should not be given direct access to this instructor-facing Lib Guide. Thank you.
The English Department is exploring new forms of assessment options to incorporate into our Composition courses. If you have an idea to propose or pilot in a class, contact the Chairperson and/or Lead Instructor. Until options have been voted in by full-time faculty, here are three versions of the rubric to utilize for grading the major writing projects in ENGL 1100. In addition is a draft guide or template instructors may use to help them build the Assignment Guidelines for each of their major Writing Projects, as well as to explain the criteria for success in the department rubrics.
