Module Introduction

Hi everyone! Welcome to Week 2 of the course. While last week was more an introduction to ENC 1101 as a whole, this week we're starting on our first unit titled "Threshold Concepts and Literacy." If you don't know what any of those words mean yet, that's okay! We're going to spend this week discussing our prior experiences with reading, writing, and communication and how those relate to the ENC 1101 course outcomes.
