My name is Kim Lenox, and I will be your online instructor for English C1000/020. I am so excited to learn, write and share with you this semester!
In this class, we will work together to learn about the writing process, paragraph and essay structures, making effective arguments and communicating clearly, and finally, many useful grammatical concepts. Language has tremendous power, and those who can recognize and employ that power are often the most successful.
As someone who loves language and writing, I am excited to take on this journey with all of you. Remember, this space is one of exchange, and we will be sharing and learning from one another, so I hope that we all be active and respectful participants in our classroom. 😄
This syllabus is designed to be mobile-friendly. It can be easily accessed from your smartphone. I encourage you to bookmark it on your phone so it's easy to find and reference when you need it.
