Writing is a foundational skill upon which all education and knowledge is founded. Accordingly, students attending St. 澳门威尼斯人娱乐城 must satisfy the writing comp一个nt for Goal Area One of the Liberal Education Program (地蜡). Options to meet the LEP writing requirement are determined by test scores, intended program of study and a student’s course work prior to attending St. 云州.
Most students who begin their college careers at St. 云州 complete the Goal Area One writing requirement by taking 一个 of three four-credit courses: 英格兰190年, 191, or 198. Students accepted into the 荣誉项目 often take 一个 of the honors First-Year Composition courses (HONS 160, 161, 163).
Students who transfer credit earned from previous institutions for an introductory writing course often complete the writing comp一个nt by taking the two-credit 英格兰291年. 在某些情况下, students provide evidence from previous experiences that 免除 them from the LEP writing requirement.

Placement in 英格兰191年 and 英格兰198年 requires students to earn 一个 of the following test scores:
英格兰191年 是一名将军, FYC course that introduces students to effective writing processes and strategies by practicing rhetorical analysis and critical thinking. Assigned readings and writing assignments typically address academic and community-centered issues. The culminating project in the course is a researched argument.
英格兰198年 is the same course as 英格兰191年 with the exception that it is focused on literature or other humanities-based texts.
If you took your Accuplacer test more than 5 years ago, it can no longer be used for placement.
For more information about 英格兰191年 and 198, please contact FYC Director Dr. 詹姆斯·海曼.
英格兰190年 is intended for students whose test scores indicate they need additional support with their writing skills. This course has the same focus and assignments as 英格兰191年, but it features both a smaller class size as well as a mandatory supplemental session (in even smaller groups) with a tutor from 写的地方. The supplemental session provides students with access to additional instruction to facilitate their personal success.
Students also enroll in Power Reading (科尔120) during the fall or spring semester of the same academic year they take 英格兰190年.
For more information about 英格兰190年, please contact the director of the 写的地方.
转移 students who have not taken a composition course with a suitable research comp一个nt usually take 英格兰291年 to fulfill the Goal Area One writing requirement. 在这种情况下，圣. 云州 (or transferology) assigns credit for the previous writing course as "ENGL 100," and grants the transfer student permission to enroll in 英格兰291年. Some students choose instead to take 英格兰191年 or 198 or Honors 160 to fulfill the St. 云州 writing requirement. Others satisfy this requirement by taking and passing the FYC豁免考试.
Incoming students who took the Advance Placement test and earned a score of 3 are eligible to take 英格兰291年 as well.

Non-native speakers of 英语 who are not international students and earn a score below 236 on the ACCUPLACER Next Generation Reading Test may be required to take the ACCUPLACER ESL Reading test, ACCUPLACER ESL Listening test, and the Essay test to determine placement.
