    • ENGL 0999 - Support for English Composition

      This is a 1 credit hour, 1 contact hour, just-in-time remediation course which will have, as its corequisite, English 1101, thus fulfilling national-, state-, and System-wide mandates. The course will meet for one hour, once a week, for 16 weeks in addition to the class meeting of the corequisite English 1101 course in which the student is enrolled. The course has a required computer-based Adaptive Learning Software component that must be completed on the student's own time outside of the classroom. This class is taken along with English 1101 as a corequisite and may be facilitated by the same professor, although the course is malleable to different methods of delivery as deemed necessary by the department.

      Prerequisite/Corequisite:
      Corequisite:  ENGL 1101

      Schedule Your Accuplacer Test

      Look on your Check Application Status page for the link or contact UNG Testing. If you need assistance or wish to opt out of Accuplacer testing, please email learningsupport@ung.edu.

      1. Don’t rush. You will have one hour to write your essay. Your essay will be evaluated on organization, focus, development and support, sentence structure, and mechanical conventions.
        1. Use the provided scratch paper to do your brainstorming.
        2. Using your brainstorming ideas, write your essay.
        3. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT your essay, PROOFREAD!
      1. Proofreading tips:
        1. Make sure your essay actually answers the prompt.
        2. If you used examples, make certain they are clear and concise.
        3. Avoid using impressive-sounding vocabulary unless you are absolutely certain you are using those words correctly.
        4. Re-read every paragraph carefully. You know what you meant to say. Will the reader know what you meant to say?
        5. Re-read your entire essay from the bottom to the top, one sentence at a time. This is a good way to catch grammar errors, like sentence fragments, subject-verb agreement errors, punctuation errors, and the like.
      1. Be sure to review the information in the preparation modules before and between practice tests to improve your score!
