Institution:

Macon State College has merged with Middle Georgia State University

Subject:

Regents’ Test Courses

Description:

The Regents’ Reading Skills course is intended to ensure that all graduates of USG institutions possess certain minimum skills in reading comprehension. Students work on improving their comprehension of material drawn from a variety of subject areas (social science, natural science, and humanities) with various modes of discourse (exposition, narration, and argumentation). Critical thinking and the following four major aspects of reading are emphasized: vocabulary in context, inferential and literal comprehension, and analysis. Students enrolled in a Regents’ course must pass the corresponding Regents’ Test in order to receive a passing grade for the course. Those passing receive a grade of “S.” Students not passing receive a grade of “U” and must repeat the course until they pass. This is not a Learning Support course. Lecture/Lab Hours: Two hours per week.
