Faculty Introduction

I also began my college career at what was originally a community college—Miami Dade College.  I ended up being what is commonly called a “non-traditional” student because rather than going through four straight years of college, I took a less direct route and did not receive my BA until I was 32 years old.  I have been working full-time in the marine industry for many years and teaching college English for the last 13 years. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, riding my motorcycle, and being a spectator at just about any motor sports event.

Course Description

A university parallel course in which the student writes expository themes in various modes. Research methods and library skills are introduced and a documented paper is required. Each student is encouraged to use the writing lab to strengthen writing skills. Placement in ENC 1101 is determined by both standard and departmental assessment tests. A student must earn a grade of "C" or higher to meet the requirements of the Gordon rule.

Course Prerequisites

To maximize your chances for success in this course, make sure that you meet the following course prerequisites:
  • Course Prerequisites:  None
  • Course Co-requisites:  None
Orientation to Online Learning
To be successful in an online course, you should assess your readiness to successfully engage in an online learning class at Broward College. You can complete the Orientation to Online Learning to determine if an online class is a right fit for you and to learn how to navigate the system.  Upon completion of the orientation, you will earn a certificate.  Some professors require you to submit this certificate during orientation, so make sure to save it in an easily accessible folder on your computer. 
Course Attendance and Participation Policy
During the first week of class, you must complete the Syllabus Quiz from the course orientation, or you will be withdrawn from the course. Simply logging into the course will not satisfy your attendance during this time. As with an on-campus course, students who are reported for non-attendance in an online course and are withdrawn are still responsible for paying for the course. If you do not complete the requirements of the first week of class, you should drop the course by the official drop/add deadline or expect to pay for the course.
It is very important for you to actively participate in this online class. If you stop participating in class discussions, do not submit assignments, or fail to take quizzes or tests prior to the withdrawal date, you will be withdrawn from class and receive a W or, if it is your third attempt, an F.

If you stop participating after the withdrawal date, you will receive an F. To avoid this situation, you should remain an active learner in this class and always communicate extenuating circumstances to your instructor. Ongoing communication with the instructor is critical to your course success. Completion of tests, assignments, and other class activities are used as indicators of your participation in order to satisfy this reporting requirement.  See the list of activities required for participation and attendance on the General Course Policies page.
