Course information

  • All activities and assignments in this class will be related to your American History I class taught by Professor Jopp.
    • One goal of Applied English is to help you with the English you need to succeed in your "American History I" elective.
    • Another goal of Applied English is improving your general English skills.
    • You will learn and practice reading, writing, listening comprehension, discussion and presentation skills.
  • Applied English meets separately and carries its own credit. You will receive a separate grade for Applied English.
