This is a pass/fail course designed as skill-based modular instruction in reading and writing. It combines online content lessons and activities with instructor consultation to provide individualized instruction for highly motivated students who need to improve basic skills in reading and/or writing. A student is expected to complete the course in 9-16 hours, depending on need and effort. Students who successfully complete the course in 8 weeks will have the opportunity to enroll in an 8-week ENGL-1301 offered during the second half of the semester. Students also have the option of remaining in the course for the full 16-weeks of the semester to complete the work. Upon successful completion of NCBO 0100, a student will be considered TSI complete in reading and writing.
