Course Overview and Success tips

ENGL 101 is built with you in mind! Having a growth mindset is one of the best ways to set yourself up for success.  Focus on the effort you are putting into this week and the entire course.  Take your time to go through each of the sections.  As you engage with the content periodically pause and ask yourself how you will apply what you are learning to your writing.
