Booklists:  
Fall 2008/Spring2009

 

 

English Area policy requires that adjunct ENG101 faculty will use one of the three books, listed below, as the core text for the class.  If part-time faculty members wish to order other books in addition to the core text, that is very acceptable.  Each part-time instructor should contact her or his mentor to discuss this.  The dialogue will be fruitful!  Consult the lists below to get an idea of other books that full-time faculty members use in their classes. 

 

English Area policy requires that part-time ENG102 faculty and part-time ENG105 faculty will use the books listed below as the core book(s) for the class.  If part-time instructors wish to order other books in addition to the core book, that is very acceptable, but again, each part-time instructor should be in contact with her or his mentor to talk about this.
