ENGL C1000 (4 units)

ENGL C1000 (Academic Reading and Writing) is the first semester course in college-level writing.

This course involves:

• Actively reading college-level texts
• Writing essays based on those texts
• Other assignments to support your reading and writing
• Development of academic reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will help you in other college classes

Class sessions will typically involve:

• Classroom discussion
• Small group work
• In-class writing
• Discussion and review of writing projects with your instructor and peers

Because this is a 4-unit class, you can expect to spend approximately 8 to 12 hours outside of class each week to complete your reading and writing assignments.

Look for “English: Writing Center” on the Schedule of Classes

Students taking ENGL C1000 can choose to enroll in IVC’s on-campus Writing Center (ENGL 1000): an optional pass/no pass support course that provides access to one-on-one support for your writing from IVC English professors.

ENGL 382 provides the same benefits as ENGL 1000, but students enrolling ENGL C1000 + ENGL 302 + ENGL 382 are required to enroll in the Writing Center (ENGL 382).

Students who have taken ENGL 1000 or ENGL 382 often find their writing improves more quickly because of the additional support this course provides.

ENGL 1000 or ENGL 382 provide:

• One-on-one assistance on writing assignments from IVC English professors in the on-campus Writing Center
• Access to computers and printers in the Writing Center
• A clean, well-lighted place to work on campus

In order to pass ENGL 1000, you must spend at least 12 hours in the Writing Center and meet with a writing mentor twice over the course of the semester. In order to pass ENGL 382, you must complete 24 hours in the Center and meet with a writing mentor four times over the course of the semester. You can complete your required hours at your own pace any time the Writing Center is open.
