MiraCosta College Offers Linked Classes this Fall

MiraCosta College is offering a new linked learning experience this fall, BIG SOCIETY: Where do you fit in? These courses are especially designed to be taken together by the same group of students. These linked courses will reinforce and enhance your critical thinking, reading, and writing of sociological topics. Designed for those who are eligible for ENGL 50, students will enjoy more support in their development of the academic reading and writing expectations of the transfer level course, SOC 101. 

Students who enroll in SOC 101/ENGL 50 will benefit from the following collaborations:

• SOC and ENGL assignments overlap to reinforce concepts and skills for success.

• Instructors work together to ensure greater connections with students and their learning needs.

• An in-class Writing Center consultant provides supplemental support in the English class, and an after-class study group provides another opportunity for academic growth. 

These linked courses are offered at the following times:

• ENGL 50, section #2741: Tuesday/Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-1:20 p.m. on the Oceanside Campus, located at 1 Barnard Drive.  Instructor: Teresa Guinon.

• SOC 101, section #2705: Tuesday/ Thursday, 9:30-10:50 a.m., also on the Oceanside Campus. Instructor: Thao Ha.           

SOC 101 is accepted for credit at Cal State University and the University of California and fulfills a General Education requirement; ENGL 50 earns associate degree credit. 

Students must enroll in both courses.
