ENG105
Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) for Fall 2008
Fall 2008 Only
The Collegial Learning Assessment (CLA), an intiative of the Office of University Evaluation, is part of ASU's effort to assess its success in helping students develop critical thinking, reading and writing skills through the undergraduate curriculum.
In Fall 2008, the Writing Programs are contributing to this effort by allowing the Office of University Evaluation to implement the CLA through the first-year composition courses, including ENG 101, 102, 105, 107, 108 and 111 as well as WAC 101 and 107 (including hybrid and online sections).

Textbook List
This is a list of commonly used textbooks in Writing Programs. Faculty Associates and Teaching Assistants/Associates who have either more than three (3) years teaching experience at ASU in Writing Programs courses, or nine (9) or more graduate-level hours of rhetoric/composition courses (including the TA Seminar) may choose their own textbooks. Please note that it is Writing Programs policy that all classes use a rhetoric; you can select a separate reader, or use a rhetoric/reader. All textbooks must meet the goals and objectives of the Writing Programs.
English 105: Advanced First-Year Composition
An intensive, one-semester writing course that folds the work of our two semester sequence into one. The course emphasizes that research is not merely mechanical or abstract: it contributes to the goals of the entire course. That is, rather than emphasizing the mere ability to find evidence to support a given argument, the course emphasizes the ability to judge the merit and appropriateness of that evidence, to weigh different pieces of evidence against one another and to engage in intellectual dialogue with the authorities represented by that evidence.
