Currently our highest level ESL class is ESL 105, Pre-Collegiate Composition / Reading.
Until recently ESL 105 fell under the umbrella of the WCC English Department.
In preparation for the Final Exam students were provided with expectations for grading.
A score of 4 was the highest possible. A score of 4 or 3 was passing and a score of 2 or
1 was not passing. At that time English 105 and ESL 105 Final Exams were graded
by a group of instructors teaching that level. Although group grading is no longer
done, I feel distributing this rubric helps students to know what is required of
them to pass the class.
