An engineering assignment requiring the student to demonstrate initiative and assume responsibility. The student will select a project at the end of the 3B term from an approved list prepared by the Department. Alternatively students can propose their own project. A faculty member will provide supervision. For a one term project, a report is required at the end of the 4A term. For a two term project, a short progress report at the end of the 4A term and a full report at the end of the 4B term are required.

Introductory Notes
1. Although the Department of English provides advisors to help students choose their programs, arrange ~~ their courses and conform with the University, Faculty, and Department regulations, students are urgedto —~ Study the Calendar very carefully because they are themselves responsible for failure to abide by these regulations.
2. Courses normally meet three hours per week; however, each instructor determines the pattern of meetings for his or her courses.
3. inall English courses, emphasis will be placed on student essays written in connection with the reading.
4. Information on availability of courses in this section is accurate at the time of publication. Sometimes, however, course offerings must be altered because of budget restraints or availability of faculty. For precise information on course offerings, students should check with the English Department.
5. Enrolment in certain English courses which are in heavy demand and which are program requirements for English students may be
subject to priority enrolment restrictions. While all English courses may be affected, those most like to be Subject to enrolment restrictions will include ENGL 200A/B, ENGL 251A/B, ENGL 209, ENGL 210A, ENGL 210C; ENGL 219, ENGL 306A, and ENGL 309A. Because of its place in the Applied Studies requirements, ENGL 109 may also on occasion be subject to registration restrictions.
Most courses are also taught at St. Jerome's College.
R' courses are administered by Renison College.
GROUP ONE
Courses in this group count towards a degree as electives in any program in the University. Normally, none of them qualifies as a major credit for a General or Honours program in English. These courses are primarily designed to make students aware of the different functions of language in various contexts and to assist them to improve their writing. '
