 * Handouts for instructors in preparing for the semester**; it is extremely important that you read these //before// writing syllabi, assignments and lesson plans:
 * Chart of essay order, source requirements and issues that coincide with particular essays: English 101 Goals for Instructors (2017-2018)


 * Instructions for writing 101 essay assignments: 101 Assignment Guidelines (2017-2018)


 * Guidelines for Writing the 2-Page-Syllabus for 101 and 102 (2017-2018); if you ever have questions about why something must be included in this part of the syllabus, you can probably find the answer here in the university syllabus requirements policy.


 * The Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 Department Syllabus** is now included in the //Composition and Rhetoric Guide//. However, state regulations still require that a copy of the syllabus be posted for students on Moodle. Download and post this pdf version for each class on Moodle.

. Instructions for importing the 101 Library Tour into Moodle. The document to import will be emailed to 101 instructors via official work email addresses. It is essential that you use the file emailed to you and NOT import from previous sections. All material for the tour has been updated and university assessment/accreditation information is tracked via these files.
