Why is College Composition offered in different formats?
Because the writing skills of entering freshmen vary, Kean does not have a “one-size-fits-all” freshman composition course. Instead, College Composition is offered in a variety of formats designed to match students’ skills levels. ENG 1030 is the three-credit, one-semester version of College Composition; ENG 1031/1032 is the six-credit, one-semester version; and ENG 1033/1034 is the six-credit, two-semester version. The two “extended” versions of College Composition–ENG 1031/1032 and ENG 1033/1034–are designed for students whose placement test essays indicate that they should take the course in a format that provides for more intensive/extensive development of their writing skills.
