portions are interwoven. Students require the continual reinforcement within the lab section to
complement knowledge gained in the lecture section. The lecture and lab are separate courses only
because of scheduling necessities and efficiency.

ASSESSMENT
Degree applicable courses must have a minimum of one response in category A, B, or C. If category A is
not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis
for at least part of the grade.
A. This course requires a minimum of two substantial (500 words each) written assignments which
demonstrate standard English usage (grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary) and proper paragraph and
essay development. In grading these assignments, instructors shall use, whenever possible, the English
Department’s rubric for grading the ENGL 150 exit essay. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s)

because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
