Academic English I and II are courses for entering freshmen whose English Placement Test scores do not place them in English 1A. In the Fall, Students in LLD 001 take a 3-unit lecture class along with a 2-unit activity section in the Language Development Center. Students in LLD 002 take a 3-unit lecture class. LLD 001 and LLD 002 students take a common final exam at the end of the semester. Depending on their final scores, in the Spring they may move up from LLD 001 to 002 or place into English 1A. Otherwise, they will need to take English 1A at a community college.
The coordinator of the LLD 001 and 002 courses is Stefan Frazier.
The coordinator of the Language Development Center is John Leih.
LLD 098 and 099 are courses for upper-division students who need extra preparation for the university's Writing Skills Test (WST). Students are required to take LLD 098 or 099 if they have failed the WST twice. In addition to practicing test-taking skills for the WST, students in LLD 098 and 099 also work on their writing skills, focusing on essay-development and grammar. Please note that as of Spring 2010, LLD 098 and 099 will no longer be offered.
The coordinator of the LLD 098 and 099 courses is Kaye Sanders.
