Welcome to 175

Gentlemen:

I’m sure you had a good winter break and are ready to start a new term. In N175 we will continue to work on your basic English skills, as in 125, and will add in a speaking element, your personal interview.

We will use your Blogger sites every week to work on and correct your writing. Each week you will have a new writing assignment which you will upload to your Blogsite, as well as do corrections for each assignment. This means at least two posts for every week – which will also be graded as your writing portfolios, after each of the Progress tests. This will account for 10% of your overall grade. You will need to keep up every week, or your Blogs will be incomplete and be graded down.

The Progress test #1 will be in week #8, and will cover three types of graphs, and problem/ solution essays, so we have much to work on before week #8.

I’m sure you will enjoy the next term as much as I will!

Gregory
