  3. Writing and Reasoning Live Classes with Graded Discussions and Graded Assignments: These live classes we call the ✪Essential Schedule courses.  The ✪Essential Schedule courses meet every school week of the semester.  The courses in this category are Composition I, Composition II, Essay Writing B, Logic, Essay Writing A, Critical Reading, and Research Papers.
