This is Not Your High School English Class: What You Really Need to Know to Succeed in First Semester English Composition I

This is Not Your High School English Class has three goals. It seeks
1. to help dispel the myth that Comp I is the same as high school English;
2. to help students avoid making the mistake of writing like they did in high school only to be shocked at the grade they receive on that first essay; and
3. to help instructors help their students build a strong foundational understanding of the mission of the academy (scholarship and the collaborative making of new meaning) and their place in it.
