The common assignment for English 102 for the fall will be writing summaries. Summarizing is a key skill in English 102; it requires students to read carefully, to identify
main ideas, and to paraphrase those ideas accurately.
The Assessment Committee has selected the sources for this activity and will produce the report summarizing participation and results.
