美国史丹福大学资优儿课程 (英文)
Writing Course s 英文写作 ( direct tuition by Stanford University EPGY) All English writing courses (except E01 and W11C) have weekly meetings in the virtual classroom where students and instructors discuss aspects of the course. The courses have long and short essay assignments which students complete off-line and submit electronically to instructors for evaluation. Most English courses are offered just once a quarter. You can, however, begin the E01A-C courses at the start of any month. All students must pass with a B- or better in every class to continue in the EPGY English Program. Students applying to take Expository Writing courses must submit writing samples for assessment at least 45 days before the quarter starts (Usual start months: Spring Quarter - April; Summer Quarter - June; Fall Quarter September; Winter Quarter – January). Enrolments are subject to passing a writing assessment test. 申请参加E P GY 英文写作者, 须於学期开课四十五日前呈交写作样本 (详情请电 2504 2228) 报名者须参 加 EPGY 写作评核试,以便确认能否被取录 Fees: T est fee: HK$280 (non-refundable) T uition: HK$4880 fixed term 1 quarter.
