Hi everyone,

My name is Professor Granillo, or Prof. G. (she/her/). I’m very excited to work with you this semester! 😊

Here’s some things I’d like you to know about our class and our campus.

How does the class work?

Online Students

We will meet online through the asynchronous (100% online)

 module beginning February 5th. While there are no assigned Zoom meetings, there are due dates and time frames by which you need to complete readings, assignments, discussions and the like.

In person Students

We will meet in person in  Juniper 801 at 9:35am-11am / 11:10am –  12:35 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning February 5th.

What is the best way to access this course?

While most things are accessible through mobile apps and tablets, the best way to experience the class is through your laptop or a computer.

How do I navigate our course shell?

You will use the MODULES tab to find lectures, required readings, and assignments portals. 

To navigate through the models without missing a thing, click the NEXT button on the bottom right-hand corner. 

How is the class organized?

Each week, there will be a new focus or goal that will help you build a skill toward your quests (essays).

Lecture, readings, and other information will be made prior to engaging in class discussions, reading logs, and essays in case you have questions. To access them, visit Canvas Modules.

Is there group work?

Part of reading and writing means to collaborate and be in conversation with others––not just ourselves and the texts. So, yes, there will be some assignments where you will collaborate with your peers.

Passport to English 101 is a self-paced, online workshop that prepares all LAPC students for success in English 101. 

I encourage you to take it prior to our start date, Februay 5th/6th.

Our embedded tutor for this semester Frederick Hernandez. 

The CET is also dedicated to helping you improve your reading and writing skills this summer!
