WELCOME TO ERWC
Expository Reading and Writing Course
IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING:
What is ERWC?
This course was developed by the California State
University system in an attempt to better prepare
incoming students for the required university
English course.
YOUR FIRST HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Go to the following website and access your EAP
scores.
www.csuenglishsuccess.org
In the top right corner, under 12th graders, “find
out your EAP status”.
Write down your scores (English and Math) and
turn them into me at the beginning of class
tomorrow for 25 points.
DON’T FEEL BAD IF YOU LEARN YOU DIDN’T PASS.
In fall of 2010, the most recent year with data, only
32% of Oxnard High Students who took the test
were proficient.
Statewide 50% of students score proficient.
Countywide 63% of students score proficient.
We need to step it up and we will do exactly that,
in this class, this year.
LET’S SEE WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE EAP
