Shoreline's Developmental English program prepares
students to think, read and write in college. All three
courses--English 080, English 090 and Study Skills 100,
English 100--integrate skill development with carefully
chosen content.
Students learn to think critically and reflectively
by looking into themselves and out at their family,
college, work and civic communities. Strategies for
reading, writing, problem-solving, self-reflection,
group process, time management, goal-setting and
involvement are learned in the context of their own
college and life interests. Prerequisite: Students need
ASSET scores of 29 in Reading and 31 in Language Usage
to take this class. Registration requires the signature
of an approved advisor. Student option grading.
Offered only in combination with StySk 100 for a
total of 10 credits. Students learn about the various
academic subjects and improve their reading, writing and
critical thinking abilities in the subjects. The course
helps students explore and understand their academic and
career interests. Prerequisite: Students need ASSET
scores of 35 in Reading and 33 in Language Usage or have
