BE AWARE: To gain credit for this course, you must have successfully completed English 1301 at ACC or its equivalent at another college or university with a grade of C or higher. If your proof of prerequisite is not available in ACC records, you must present a transcript or grade report showing your successful completion of Composition I with a grade of C or higher. In other words, a grade of D or below in Composition I is not an acceptable prerequisite. If you know you don't have the required prerequisite, withdraw and get your money back.
I will try to contact you if I cannot find proof of prerequisite for you in ACC records. Be sure your Email address in Blackboard is current. You can submit your proof of prerequisite to me in person, to my mailbox in Rio Grande Room 204, by U.S. mail, or by ACC intercampus mail. I will also accept scanned or photographed proof of prerequisite submitted as a jpg file attachment to a Blackboard Message or an Email. If I do not receive your proof of prerequisite by 9 pm September 11, I will stop grading your work until I do receive your proof of prerequisite.
Contact addresses are available below using the Contact Information link. You can also have a clerk place a copy of your transcript or grade report in my campus mailbox at RGC. You can also present it to me personally during my advertised office hours.
(You can also get by with earlier editions of this textbook. You are required to read the discussion stories and stories needed to complete the assignments. Any source that allows you to do so is acceptable.)
