加速

成功的第一个 加速 is offered in conjunction with EN111-Composition I, which prepares students for the demands of college-level reading and writing assignments. 学生 learn to communicate effectively in written form, read for purpose and comprehension, use standard English grammar and sentence structure, and use pre-writing, peer review and editing techniques in essays. A supplemental three-credit First Year Experience class helps students develop the characteristics, habits and attitudes of an effective learner. One hour of tutoring per week is also required. 

成功的第一个 加速 students may also enroll in other college classes including a math course.

Program Learning Outcomes 

Upon successful completion of the 成功的第一个 program, students should be able to demonstrate:

• Effective academic communication; both in written and oral form
• Literal comprehension of college level readings
• Understanding and application of processes for writing and research 
• The characteristics, habits and attitudes of an effective learner
• Understanding of connections between their community experiences and the larger world, focusing especially on social justice issues

Program Evaluation

Donnelly has a well-established assessment system for evaluating all of its academic programs, including 成功的第一个. Standard indicators used to measure student achievement include attendance records, 考试成绩, 课程成绩, in-class assessments, and semester and cumulative grade point averages (GPAs).  Additional indicators used to measure overall program effectiveness include number and percent of students achieving target outcomes—English language fluency, proficiency in oral and written communication and college readiness. Because the goal of the 成功的第一个 program is to prepare students to be successful in college-level classes, we also track students’ subsequent performance in Composition I and II and First-Year Experience. 最后, we track the percentage of Donnelly graduates who completed their degree program after beginning their college journeys in 成功的第一个.
