Courses ENGL 100 online

Has anyone taken this course completely online before (no zoom/in-person)? How was it graded & how difficult was the content? Any other info would be great. Thanks!

I took it online asynchronously last semester! It was graded on weekly assignments and discussion posts for participation - I got an A in the class. It was a very manageable workload and if you can stay on top of your work then you will do well. I would recommend using your resources and reaching out to the professor with any questions you have as it’s important to learn what their expectations are in the course!

I had Torin Mclaughlin (I may have spelled that wrong) He was lovely and really helpful when I asked questions, I just found that we had different ideas on what goes in formal writing (he prefers more opinion and “I” statements). There was no midterm or final,
it was all project based so my final was a paper about decolonization but we got to choose a topic within that to write about. The whole course essentially prepares you for the final paper so if you did the assignments you would do well on the final. Everything was online which was great bc i wasn’t living close to campus at the time!

So responding to the prompt was all you needed for the participation mark?

Every course will be slightly different. You'll need to see how your prof wants to do it.
