Suggestions for students who will take Composition I next year

Taking Composition I is not so easy, so people who will take this subject must be prepared to learn as much as possible. At the beginning, they may feel lost going over arranging fragments; nevertheless, it is not so difficult to understand if someone has a previous knowledge of what sentences are. Later, people will get confused learning how to arrange more types of faults because they are very similar, so they must look for extra information about those topics to find differences among them.

It is recommendable that students participate actively in classes, asking questions to the teacher when the topic is not clear. Students must photocopy all the handouts and extra material given by practitioner teachers, who will be helping the professor, so that they be ready to have the tests. Besides, they must write the entries of the journal and its revised version and deliver on time all the assignments when the teacher lets them know. It is vital that students attend classes every day and be punctual so that they can understand better what the topics are about. Also, they must follow the rules of the course to have a good environment in class.
