Standards for English 101 and
English 102 The English Department, Bridgewater College |

The following policies concerning ENG 101: Effective Writing I and ENG 102: Effective Writing II have been approved by the English Department of Bridgewater College. They represent minimum performance standards for passing these two courses. They will be applied by instructors in ALL sections of English 101 and English 102 taught at Bridgewater College.
Students who miss more
than the equivalent of 2 weeks of class meetings (more than 6 absences
for sections that meet MWF, more than 4 absences for sections that meet TR) will
receive an F for the course. Although
it is a good idea to inform your instructor of the reason for any absence,
instructors will not consider certain absences “excused.”
The only exception will be for students’ extended medical leave, which
will need to be appropriately documented through the Office of Academic Affairs.
(Individual instructors may add further details to their own class
attendance policies.)
Students who do not complete ALL of the major essay assignments will receive an F for the course.
Students who do not thoroughly and substantially revise each major essay assignment at least once will receive an F for the course. Students must complete their first revision for each major essay and submit it to the instructor no later than one week after receiving the instructor’s comments on the first draft. Students who wish to meet more than the most minimal standards for passing ENG 101 and ENG 102 should expect to revise each major essay assignment multiple times.
