Each week you must complete an online assessment by the Sunday evening of each week's workshop. Each assessment monitors your knowledge of the material that we will use in class the following week. The assessments count for almost 25% of your class grade, so pay attention. This is your first assessment, and you complete it to learn how to do it. Everyone will earn a 100, so relax. It's easy.

Remember to click the Submit button at the end to send your completed assessment to me. Thanks.

As a new college student, you may have a lot of anxiety and questions about the writing you’ll do in college.

With this first year composition class, you begin one of the only classes in your entire college career where you will focus on learning to write.

This chapter is designed to introduce you to what academic writing is like, and hopefully ease your transition as you face these daunting writing challenges.

Your success with academic writing depends upon how well you understand what you are doing as you write and then how you approach the writing task.

Consider Irvin's seven myths about academic writing. Which of these myths were you most taught to believe? Has Irvin convinced you that this is only a myth? *

Use a quote from Irvin's essay to support your answer.
