As you know, I do not use Laulima.  Most planning and day-to-day handling of ENG 98 will be run off of Blogger.  
Description:

ENG 98 is a co-requisite course that supplements ENG 100, the foundations course which fulfills the Written Communication Foundation Requirement for degrees at UH-Manoa, UH-West O'ahu and Kapi'olani Community College.  ENG 98 is a concurrently offered ENG course that offers targeted support to help boost student comprehension and learning of the college-level course material; ENG 98 also offers students increased awareness of relevant college support and academic services. 







ENG 98 Competencies
By the end of ENG 98, students should be able to execute the following:

•Effectively use a multi-step writing process that includes drafting, revising, and editing; respond constructively to written and oral feedback.

•Write compositions that have a main point and supporting ideas developed with specific, logically organized details.

•Practice learning strategies such as note-taking, journaling, using technology, avoiding plagiarism, and managing time to foster student success.

•Identify and access relevant college resources that promote student success including mentoring, tutoring and advising.

•Employ a variety of reading and interpretive strategies that foster reflection, summary and the evaluation of sources.

•Identify and address patterns of errors in writing.


practical translation of each learning outcome:

1.  you will be doing all the best 'student skills' to make you stronger in the class;
2.  you will be exploring resources that the college offers to make you stronger as a person and student;
3.  you will learn how to make your writing have a thesis statement, make your writing more interesting, and make your structures 'flow' the paper a bit better.
4.  you will read a bunch of different readings, and hopefully be able to summarize, analyze, and deeply comprehend what was read.
5.  you will look at your own grammar and spelling errors and learn how to capture your most common mistakes.
