Course Assessment
and Placement |
|
Entry level English requires an assessment
test before enrollment. Students assessed as needing EN 001 and EN 002
are required to take those courses. Students may select appropriate courses using
the assessment levels identified as a guide. Enrollment in required English
course(s) will take precedence for all part-time students who are also identified as needing English or Mathematics courses.
Students who test into entry level English courses are strongly encouraged to complete these
first, but may enroll in courses for which they meet other entry-level skill requirements, prerequisites, or
co requisites.
Students with documentation of previous college-level course work in
English or with documentation of appropriate scores on an assessment test accepted by Montgomery College are exempt from
entry level English. Personal interest students who are not enrolling in their first
English course may take up to 11 credits before determining whether assessment testing
is needed. Counselors will assist all students in developing educational plans that
best suit individual goals. Those students who are exempt from
assessment include students with an associate's degree or higher from a
U.S. accredited college or university, students enrolling with a letter of
permission from another college or university, or students with an SAT
550V or higher; ACT 24 or higher; TOEFL 575 (paper and pencil) or TOEFL
231 (computer-based).

Techniques of Reading and
Writing |
|
These courses provide in depth experience in
using the essential tools of academic communication...written
discourse. Selected readings are analyzed intensively for both meaning
and evaluation. Weekly written assignments, correlated to developing
logical thought, utilize correct and effective expression. EN 101 and
EN 101A both satisfy the freshman English requirement for most
Maryland institutions of higher education. EN 101A has the same
content and requirements as EN 101, but includes additional class time for
review of sentence structure, usage, and punctuation, and individual and
group instruction to assist students in organizing and completing specific
writing assignments.
The prerequisite for both EN 101 and EN 101A
include placement through assessment testing, successful completion of Basic
English (see the catalog for specific details of what qualifies as successful
completion), or completion of EL 104 with a grade of C or better.
The second course in Techniques of Reading and
Writing, EN
102 studies rhetoric, argumentation, and persuasion. This course
also introduces practical application of critical thinking skills, practice in methods of academic research
(library search and electronic media) and writing with appropriate documentation.
The prerequisite for this course in completion of EN 101 or EN 101A.
