Take W233 as soon as you can

4. Editorial Style ENG W233 often uses MLA style
In PSY courses we will use APA style, for which there is a unit in this course

5. Foreign Language
The requirement is “proficiency in a foreign language at the second year level” (the 204 course)
Not two years of foreign language
Many people test out of some of the college courses because of their high school foreign language
The normal courses are 111, 112, 203, and 204 for the most common languages, numbers may be different for some others
The first year courses are 4 credit courses, the second year courses are 3 credit

6. Foreign Language, cont’d
If you had two years of h.s. FL, then you place into 113 for Spanish, 112 for French & German
Once you have taken 112 or 113 with a C or better, you can complete paperwork to get credit for 111 (8 credits)

7. Foreign Language, cont’d
Or you can take the placement test
If you place into 203, take it and get a C or better, you get credit for 111 and 112, etc.
All this credit counts toward graduation
You can petition to have ASL be your language, IF you have a compelling personal or professional reason (we have the application form, see your advisor)

8. Why Foreign Language?
It’s an integral part of being a college educated person with a liberal arts degree
Most American universities require foreign language for a Liberal Arts degree
Although in much of the rest of the world, foreign language is part of elementary and secondary education

9. Why Foreign Language? See flyers from MLA on lecture page

Helps you get certain kinds of jobs
