FOR ADVISORS’ INFORMATION: Fall 2020 UIC First-Year Writing Courses All Taught Remotely
For Fall 2020, all of the English Department's first-year writing courses -- ENGL 160, ENGL 161, ENGL 071, ENGL 070, ENGL 060, and ENGL 159 -- will be taught entirely remotely using online tools provided on the course Blackboard site. None of these courses will be taught on campus this Fall. Instructors have the freedom to choose what combination of remote synchronous or asynchronous instruction they'll be using, so not every course will be meeting in the same way. All synchronous sessions will be conducted at the officially scheduled times of the section, though, and asynchronous coursework will be made available for students who can't attend the sessions at that time.
The instructors will contact the students on their rosters before the first day of class, but students should email their instructors with questions about the course at any point beforehand.
All questions about the remotely taught courses can be sent to comptalk@uic.edu.
