1. - COURSE DESCRIPTION
Language 097 (English Structure) is designed to build on the knowledge
of English that the students will bring to the class. It is the first
of two "bridge" courses, intended to help non-native English speakers
make the transition to using English as a primary language in an
academic setting. During class, we will examine English Grammar
through lectures, discussions, exercises, writing, and editing.
Homework will consist of supplementary exercises. Quizzes and
examinations will test your practical ability.
