At other universities and in other subjects I have had to pass students who have attended no classes at all. Not distance or online students: internal students who live not far from campus. But in English One, students are only allowed to miss two classes without a documented explanation. It asks students to write about their reading habits: how often they read, what they read, what they feel they take from their reading. This is what my students have learned: how to read more than 200 words of a text at a time.
