HEROES has worked with Rutgers University to offer special sections of Basic Composition (355:100) and Expository Writing (355:101) that will have the same requirements and standards as other sections of these courses but use reading material that will be developmentally appropriate for students 16 or younger. Please read
Searching for Shakespeare about special issues regarding young students enrolling in college level writing courses.
The first section of 355:101 (aka Expos 101) will be offered in Spring 2011 and will meet on Sat 9-12. At least one section of each course will be offered M, W, Th 10:10-12:10 during the summer.
Students will need to take the Writing Placement Test and obtain a special permission code to register for these courses. Students should also consider participating in the
Writing Talent Search in order to get a better understanding of the type of writing that will be required for these courses and to obtain feedback from instructors who teach these courses.
The Writing Placement Test will be offered in December and again during the
Third Annual HEROES Conference in January. Go to
