English Review at Baker College Online
Welcome to ENGLISH REVIEW at Baker College Online. My name is Dr. Carl Wagner. I will be your instructor during this course. I invite you to use this blog much like on-ground students use a writing journal. You are graded on the blog each week in your participation grade. I will not be going through to correct your mistakes. The "pressure" of knowing that other students in ENG 099 can read your blog should both prompt you to use your best writing but also limit you from saying things you would not want to have PUBLISHED. A blog is, in fact, a publication.
Each week I have an assignment for the blog posted in the seminar assignment folder for the week. You are to write between 250 to 300 words. Usually these assignments ask you to write freely on a topic related to the week's essay assignment or to an essay assignment coming up soon in the course. The blog, like a writing journal, is where you can share your thinking and see the thinking of your classmates on that topic. This helps you in forming your ideas for the essay. The major focus of ENG 099 will be the THREE MAJOR ESSAYS required in the course. Everything we do, including the writing on the blog, is designed to foster your thinking and writing preparation so that you can produce the three best essays of your life so far.
In your first blog, you are asked to introduce yourself to the ENG 099 class. Think about your past experiences, your present experiences and your future expectations as you share your introduction. Your first essay assignment asks you to write about your History as a Writer. Keep this in mind as you introduce yourself and reflect on your past, present and future as a writer.
