Jen Levinson - In-Person English 1A+1AS: College Reading and Composition (with Support)

ENGLISH C1000 (formerly English 1A) + 1AS: Academic Reading and Writing
(with Support)

MEETS IN PERSON ON OCEAN CAMPUS

Course Description

ENGLISH C1000 (formerly ENGLISH 1A): In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. Course Outline of Record

My section is oriented around the driving question: What's Love Got to Do With It?

NOTE: ENGL C1000 +1AS is a six-unit course which combines ENGL C1000 (a transfer-level English class) with a two-unit “co-requisite” support course (these are non-transferable units). You must be enrolled in both courses to be a part of this class. However, I will not be teaching this as two separate courses – instead, you should think of this as a single, 6-unit class. You will be exposed to the material and expectations of an ENGL C1000 class immediately but be given additional support through tutoring and lots of low-stakes practice and feedback. At the end of the semester you will receive the same letter grade for both ENGL C1000 and ENGL 1AS. Course Outline of Record for ENGLISH 1AS

Important Dates and Registration Tips

Register now!
The Fall '25 semester begins on Monday, August 18.
If the class is full, try to get on the waitlist. Once on the waitlist, be sure to check your CCSF email every day -- the system will automatically notify you if a spot becomes available but unfortunately only allows 24 hours for you to follow up and register for the class before moving on to the next student on the list. Don't miss this notification!
If the waitlist is full, keep checking the schedule to see if/when other students drop the class. There is often movement before the first day of class.
If you can't get onto the electronic waitlist before the first day, you are welcome to attend the first class session to see if space has opened up, depending on whether there are no-shows from the roster. You may also submit a class add request through your MyRAM student portal, and I will authorize you to add the class if a space becomes available.

More Course Specifics

In-Person Learning

Hooray! This section meets IN PERSON on Ocean campus MWF 10-12. Please note that we will use Canvas for all assignment submissions. The curriculum follows a weekly module format, so you can access instruction and assignments electronically if you occasionally have to miss class, and students are encouraged to bring an internet-enabled device to class to fully participate. However, this is not an online course. You are expected to attend class regularly so that we can build a vibrant and supportive learning community. Learning doesn't have to be a solitary endeavor! You will discuss material with your classmates, share your writing, give and get feedback, and ultimately learn from each other and the shared process.

Textbooks

I realize that many students have tight budgets and so I’ve tried to keep costs down; please note that you can rent used copies of our class texts for the entire semester through the CCSF Bookstore for around $20 plus tax.

Print versions of hooks and Bui are required (you can order through the CCSF bookstore or any online retailer), but digital is an acceptable option for They Say I Say.

- All About Love by bell hooks
- The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui
- They Say I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing (any edition)
- Additional articles, essays, videos, and podcasts that you will access on Canvas free of charge
