Thank you for registering for the Reading and Writing level 4 class in AUA's Academic English Program (AEP).
Over the next six weeks we will be working through two or three chapters in Hartmann's Quest 2 Reading and Writing [Quest] (2007), which is probably already familiar to some of you from level 3 last term. But don't worry, if it's your first term in AEP, you probably won't find Quest too difficult. As well as Quest, we will be looking at a variety of other reading material, and doing a bit more writing than Quest asks for.
And this being 2010, we will be using the tools that are normal in modern academic institutions: email, the internet, word processing programs, and so on; academics and students do not do their written work on scraps of paper in 2010, and we won't be doing that either.
I hope that you find the class both enjoyable and challenging so that our six weeks together will be productive and pleasant.
And if you ever have any question about anything, please feel welcome to ask us in class, email me, or write it up here on our class blog.
