ENGL 056ST Qualification Change

From Patricia Bright...

English 056ST is being run as a pilot this semester for students who placed into English 002 and English 050 (scored 1 or 2 on the writing). This morning, I received the following information from Lise-Pauline Barnett, the Chair of the English Department, about a change to the pilot this Fall on the Harrisburg, Lancaster, and York Campuses: 

This spring we noticed a low number of enrollees. After some conversations with Cindy Doherty, faculty, and some of the deans, the faculty who are teaching English 056St asked if we could place students in the course who score into English 002 & a score of 2 and 3 on the writing placement. Since, we are running this as a pilot, we want to make sure we are gathering the appropriate data to make a decision in the future about the course.


To clarify, students who place into English 002 and who score a 2 or 3 on the Writing placement are now eligible for English 056ST.  Students scoring a 1 on the Writing placement should not be placed into English 056ST.  Please let me know if you have questions for Lise-Pauline.
