At Georgia State University (GSU), like at most other institutions, corequisite courses must be taken simultaneously--the information in one is necessary to the full understanding of the other. However, the corequisite pairing describe in this article has a unique history; GSU 1010 course, part of the larger Freshman Learning experience, was paired with English 1101 in an ad hoc manner. The GSU 1010 course provides students with essential information about the academic demands of the university, its rules, procedures, resources, and academic, social, and personal survival skills that contribute to academic success. The GSU 1010 curriculum encourages students to establish supportive relationships with peers and faculty and to become an integral part of the academic community. In addition to offering the necessary information and skills to navigate the university, GSU 1010 also exposes students to the academic field of their choice through an examination of the general area of study and related principles. The course's learning outcomes align with the following themes: Academic Life, Community Life, Personal Life. English 1101 is designed to increase the student's ability to construct written prose of various kinds. The course focuses on methods of organization, analysis, research skills, and the production of short expository essays. Readings consider issues of contemporary social and cultural concern.
