(Fall, Spring, Summer) This developmental reading course’s content is delivered in an online, modularized format. Students are administered a diagnostic test to identify skills to prepare an individualized learning plan so that the students work only on skills not yet mastered. Students complete adaptive learning assignments that allow them to accelerate through sections and skip textbook readings they already show mastery in. Topics include identifying main ideas and supporting details, recognizing transitions and thought patterns, differentiating between facts and opinions, identifying a passage’s tone and purpose, making valid inferences and analyzing arguments. THIS COURSE DOES NOT MEET GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS.
