Lecture 1: Introduction to the Course

Welcome all ENGL 111 students! I hope your new academic year is off to a great start and I wish you all the best for the coming term.


Today we will go over a few introductory issues. I'll tell you a bit about:

• the course itself
• the assignment
• plagiarism and how to avoid it
• the syllabus
• the course text books:
