You must be enrolled in an English 201 section to enroll in an English 201 Honors Seminar.  See Floren English Honors.

   TEXTBOOKS:  Have your textbooks with you the first day of class.

Sylvan Barnet et al, Literature for Composition, 7th edition (about $80 new and about $60 used at the MiraCosta College Bookstore, Follett.  Online, try Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com). You might find a better price online, but it may take over a month to get your book (even when the Website says "ships in 1-2 days")!

A current college handbook with research and documentation guide (TBA).

I look forward to another great English 201 semester!


Important Message to Prospective English 201 Students: In this English 201, there is an early drop deadline of Saturday, March 1, which means that if you decide this class is not for you this semester, you must turn in a drop card to Admissions and Records by March 1, 2008,  in order to receive a "W" in the class.  Make successful learning in this class your priority by reserving at least 12 hours a week for English 201 studies (4 hours a week for class instruction plus 8 additional hours a week in reading, writing, and research), and you will be successful.
