<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Lab Component
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">You should plan on spending at least two hours per week in the Academic Support Center (ASC), Bldg. 210 and 500, fulfilling your lab requirement. You’ve got two lab assignments. One is the completion of your writing assignments (see Writing Assignments Handout). Due dates are listed on the course schedule. The other assignment is made up of the Recall exercises in MyWritingLab, an online learning system that will help you improve sentence skills. You can access the lab by going to: [|www.MyWritingLab.com]. You’ll need a login name and a password which I will have for you on the first day of class (see MyWritingLab handout). All lab assignments must ultimately be completed by the Portfolio due date since you’ll be including writing assignments and a MyWritingLab printout of your progress. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Attendance **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">You must be present, on time, and prepared in order to successfully complete this course. Tardiness is rude and distracting. Chronic tardiness will result in a low participation grade. Absence from two or more classes is considered excessive and may result in the reduction of your grade or class failure. Attendance and participation are closely linked. It is your responsibility to contact your instructor in advance of an absence. You are responsible for work that you may have missed due to an absence. Be sure to get any missed work, notes, or assignments from a classmate. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Grades **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">To qualify for ENC0002, you must: attend class regularly, complete your course work, and submit a passing portfolio. You will also write an in-class essay as a final exam. You will receive an F in this class for non-attendance or if you fail to develop a Portfolio that receives a passing grade. You will receive a grade of SP and be given the opportunity to retake ENC0001 if your performance indicates that you need more time to develop college writing skills. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">
