ENGL 1010: COMPOSITION I 

                      Welcome to English Compostion I (ENGL 1010) at Nashville State Community College! 

I am thrilled to be your first college instructor and I look forward to helping you grow as a thinker and writer. To become a great writer, you must first be willing to be vulnerable--to take risks and to embrase "messy." Writing is less about  following strict rules and more about finding your voice and using your voice to connect with your audience. In this course you will be challenged, you will be stretched, and you will get frustrated. In this course we understand that there is no such thing as "perfection" only progress, so you must let go of your need to be perfect and instead focus on learning and growing as a writer, an artist, and a unique individual. 

When the NSCC term begins, we will use the college's Desire 2 Learn program or D2L. This is where you will find your assignments, announcements, and your grades. Because this is a college course, I will do my best to treat you like any other college student. You will contact me through the college, not the high school, and we will adhere as closely as possible to the college schedule. You will be held to the same attendance policy and grading scale, and you will be responsible for contacting me directly should you be absent or have a question/concern. However, should your grades or attendance merit parental intercession, I will contact your family via your high school guidance counselor according to the FERPA law.
