Prerequisites: None

Corequisites: None

College Level Prerequisites: None

Description: This is a developmental reading class which provides students the necessary time to review, refresh, and extend skills that may have become less efficient through a lack of application. The emphasis is on comprehension skills and an introduction to critical reading. To facilitate this development, a computer-assisted program must be completed. A structured reading and writing project are included in order to improve critical thinking and metacognitive skills. RD098 is the second course in a two-course sequence; it follows RD097. If the initial placement is RD098, students will be required to complete the course requirements for RD098 only. Placement is determined by College testing.
