So, you’ve decided to attend TSAS, huh? Congratulations on making the lottery. This guide will provide you with nearly everything you need to know for your English courses during your four years with us. The only thing you have to provide is a willingness to take chances, take criticism, provide criticism, discuss with others, read hard, write hard, and enjoy yourself. And creativity. Gotta have that. We give you all the nuts and bolts information up front in guide form because this stuff is not what you should be focusing on when you read, write, or discuss. Now don’t get us wrong: You need to know this information to do these things well. We just don’t want to get stuck teaching proper MLA citation guidelines, and you don’t want to take a class with MLA worksheets. If you do, there are plenty of public schools around town with photocopied curriculums and worksheet evaluations. Don’t forget your #2 pencils and student ID numbers. If you’re still with us, here it is: From “How to Read” to “Knowing When to Stop Writing,” all the necessary guidelines and information is contained within these pages. Read, understand, and retain the information and we’ll all be able to concentrate on the hard stuff.
