In addition to wishing a very happy new year to all of the writing faculty at City Tech, I also wanted to let you know about a few updates to the FYW@City Tech Open Lab Site, which reflect some changes in the FYW Program for the Spring, 2014 semester. The biggest news, of course, is the one-day Introduction to Composition/ENG1101 Final Exam!!!! The English Department and the First Year Writing Program are hopeful that this one-day exam will make scheduling and preparing for the exam somewhat easier both for faculty and students. Some additional information about the Advanced Composition/ENG1121 Final Exam is also now available and a sample exam will be posted soon.
You can expect to see many more resources and information related to Advanced Composition/ENG1121 on the FYW@City Tech Open Lab Site this semester. For now, you will find an official English Department Course Outline for Advanced Composition posted, along with a sample Open Access, themed-course syllabus from Professor Rodgers’ Spring 2010 ENG1121: Race and Representation. Professor Scanlan’s Fall 2013 ENG1121 Syllabus is the most recent sample syllabus and we encourage faculty who will be teaching Advanced Composition to review this syllabus after consulting the ENG1121 Course Outline. Nevertheless, we are pleased that we now have sample Advanced Composition syllabi for each of the three possible textbook options for the course.
