English 101 is an introductory composition course, designed to improve your skills in expository and persuasive writing; the writing you will be doing in other courses in college and in many jobs. Sometimes this kind of writing is called transactional writing because it’s used to transact something—inform and (often) persuade a reasonably well-educated audience; conduct business; and evaluate, review, or explain a complex process, procedure, or event. The idea of this course is to develop your writing skills in conjunction with topics that interest you. This course focuses on the importance of reading and writing (more largely education in general) and how we can use those tools to help within our communities.

During this class, we will be investigating the basic question: “What is literature?” What does literature mean to you? How do we define literature? What is counted as literature and why? What does literature have to do with popular culture? Does literature have value in today’s society? How does literature fit into our modern lives? Is literature important anymore? Why do we need (or not need) literature? How should literature be approached in schools? How have different concepts/ideas been portrayed in literature throughout history? What is canonical literature? Why does a lot of canonical literature reflect limited points of view? The idea of this course is to develop your writing skills in conjunction with topics related to literature that interests you. This semester we will be focusing our course on the importance of reading and writing (more largely education in general) and how we can use those tools to think and write critically about the things we read.

The Exponents and Radicals module is separated into two parts -- exponents and radicals. Each part has two subtopics. Each subtopic has a video lecture page and a practice assignment. The video lecture page includes guided notes in pdf form and videos that follow the guided notes. There are also Word document versions of the notes in the "files" section of this course for instructor convenience. Each video lecture page also includes supplemental YouTube videos which are optional for students and may be used if further instruction is needed. The practice assignment is a set of exercises in Derivita that correspond to the skills covered in the video lecture.There are also two review assignments in this module -- one for exponents and one for radicals. These assignments cover everything from that part of the module, rather than being broken up into parts like the practice assignments. So there are a total of six assignments in the module and instructors can choose which assignments are most appropriate for their students' needs.This work, by Madilyn Marshall, is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.CC-BY
