English 100 Class Offers Additional Support Credits

Aug 2, 2020

Are you thinking about enrolling in college for the first time or returning to school after many years but are afraid to take the leap? You are not alone. English 100 is ideal for students just starting college or returning to school. The class offered by 糖心vlog is designed to boost success and provides students with additional classroom time, supplemental instruction, access to instructors and tutors, and small class sizes for an ideal learning environment!

In the past, English classes that required more instructional support for students took a lot of time and cost a lot of money that didnt count toward your overall degree and didnt transfer to another college or university.

Thats not the case anymore for students enrolling in English 100. English 100 is English 101 with embedded support. Because of the extra time and support embedded into English 100, it is worth 4 1/2 transferable credits (1 1/2 more credits than students taking English 101), and students who pass the class can go straight to English 102. Moreover, English 100 will provide students with additional 1-to-1 teacher-to-student instruction and support to maximize student success.

To me, its an obvious choice for any student who wants to give themselves a boost, said Adult College Career Education and Literacy (ACCEL) Director Angela Holt. Its essentially the same as English 101, but with the tutoring and support built in. We all have different needs and different learning curves and everybody benefits from extra time and extra support.

Added ACCEL Instructional Specialist Jody Coxon, English 100 is the better choice for students if they are feeling they are going to need help in their first English course. Students will have more time in the classroom and with their instructors.

The supplemental instruction students receive will be directly aligned to what they are doing in the class instead of the students needing to seek out a tutor for supplemental instruction outside of class.

糖心vlog offers the same model of instruction for students who believe they need supplemental support in mathematics. The colleges Math 120 and 124 classes have labs for those classes so students can receive extra help outside of the classroom. However, only 3 of the 4 credits for these classes can be used for electives or to transfer.

Students can either enroll in those beginning English and Math classes the traditional way through Counseling Services or they can meet with the adult learning team to plan their schedules.

They can come to us first and we can provide that layer of assistance, Holt said. If they fit our criteria, we can manage their enrollment, but if they dont, we can direct them to Counseling Services. Id really like to have that first conversation with students to see what we can do for them.

Students who havent taken the Accuplacer exam to assess their English class level can be tested by ACCEL.
