In addition, learners who are not required to take the course but feel they would benefit from the course can add it by request. There are limited seats available, and they are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Learners who wish to enroll in this pass/fail zero credit course may contact RegistrationManagment@Nightingale.edu. Prior to the term they will be enrolled, learners will receive email communication asking to confirm that they still wish to take the course. If no reply is received, the learner will not be enrolled. Learners enrolled in ENG 95 may or may not be enrolled in another English Course. ENG 95 is designed to help learners build reading and writing skills indicated as an area for improvement on the Accuplacer test. This is a non-credit bearing course. To satisfy the course engagement requirement, learners must complete ten (10) activities within the semester. Learners who do not complete the required activities will be enrolled in the ENG 95 course in subsequent semesters until required activities are completed within the semester. The course will provide weekly instructional materials throughout ten (10) modules, which are formatted as articles, graphics, and videos. Additionally, a weekly webinar will be available. Attendance at webinars is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged. In addition, learners in ENG 95 may meet with writing center or library tutors to review weekly materials individually, or they may attend a group drop-in tutoring session. The tutoring sessions are designed to assist learners who would like further assistance with course material or learners with webinar scheduling conflicts. After completing the requirements above, learners will complete a 10-point quiz on the materials presented in the module. Learners may take quizzes as many times as necessary to learn the material. All quizzes will open the first day of the semester and will be available to learners through Friday at 5 p.m. of Week 10. Learners may choose their preferred order and time to complete the modules. Successful completion of the course is obtained when the learner passes ten (10) quizzes with the minimum score. Upon completion of the ten (10) activities, learners will receive an email notification that they have successfully passed the course. Note: This course is not a required part of any academic program; is not college-level; is not Title IV eligible; is not transferrable to another institution; is not part of any institutional or programmatic accreditation grant; and is offered as a means of preparation for college-level algebra courses, with pass/fail grading.
