Students meet online once a week in the EPGY virtual classroom
where class is conducted using microphones and a shared, interactive
whiteboard. One or two sections (class meeting times) of a course are
offered every quarter, though not all courses may be offered every
quarter. Section meeting times are subject to cancellation if
minimum enrollment is not reached.
Students send their writing assignments to their instructor via
email to receive feedback.
Students download some of the course materials (syllabus and
homework assignments) from their EPGY course page. Books and course
readers must be ordered from the Stanford bookstore.
Virtual classroom participation is mandatory.
Students must receive a grade of B- or better in W09A to register
for either W09B or W09C. All students must pass with a B- or better in
every class to continue in the EPGY English Program.
