Welcome to ERWC

Greetings Seniors,

You are enrolled in the Expository Reading and Writing Course, formerly known and Expository Composition. Instead of having one semester of writing and one semester of literature, you will have a year of ERWC. That's because so many California students are entering college having to take a remedial English class. Remedial means you didn't learn what you were supposed to learn in high school and you have to review it before you can go on to college English. You pay for a remedial course, but it earns you no credit, so you want to avoid this at all cost (pun intended). This course is intended to get you ready for college English as well as for the reading and writing you will be required to do in the workplace.

The good news is the Senior Project time frame has been extended. Senior Project Presentations are scheduled for March 3, 2016. This will give you more time to work on your 20-hour project, more time to perfect your slides and more time to practice your speech. This should result in better prepared, more relaxed students and a more meaningful experience.

We will discuss this in more detail in class. I look forward to meeting you all on Sept. 18!
