OER Textbook for English Composition

by Jennifer Tripp, Ann Healy, Elizabeth Fontenella, Ann DeCiccio

Preface

In 2018, in response to the rising cost of textbooks, NCC English instructors created this custom NCC ENGL101 text by remixing parts of multiple relevant online texts. These course materials are provided at no cost to every NCC student who takes ENGL101.

Note: The materials were updated in Summer 2025.

Note: Links to the course materials are also available in this one-page pdf file.
