ASU ENG 101 vs ENG 102

[jch]

Many of the ASU ULC courses have digital portfolio assignments. Their rationale was something about digital literacy or whatever. I also spent far too much time fiddling with my sites and making everything work. In the end, I went with Google sites for everything at ASU. I made a personal template once then adapted that for each class. Personally, I found Google sites to be simpler than the Weebly or Wix setups they suggested. There's no issue with using another service as long it can satisfy all of the assignment requirements. My advice is to find a simple setup that works and roll with it.
I bailed on the English comp courses at ASU and went with CLEP & DSST again because of the workload. The ASU offerings may be appropriate for students looking to develop their writing skills. However, I found the prompts to be uninteresting and the amount of assignments to be excessive. The ASU English composition courses require a ton of time and effort, much more so than some other courses. If they're bogging you down, go with something else to fill the requirement and choose another slot for RA credit.
