Students will develop college-level reading abilities, rhetorical sophistication, and writing styles that give form and coherence to complex ideas and feelings.

Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives Students shall achieve the ability to write complete essays that demonstrate college-level proficiency in all of the following: Clear and effective communication of meaning. An identifiable focus, tailored to a particular audience and purpose (argumentative essays will state their thesis clearly and show an awareness, implied or stated, of some opposing point of view). The ability to perform effectively the essential steps of the writing process (prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing). The ability to explain, analyze, develop, and criticize ideas effectively. Effective use within their own essays of supporting material drawn from reading or other sources. Effective organization within the paragraph and the essay. Accuracy, variety, and clarity of sentences. Appropriate diction. Control of conventional mechanics (e.g., punctuation, spelling, reference, agreement). Student Learning Objectives: SLO 1: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to perform effectively the essential steps in the writing process (prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing). SLO 2: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to express (explain, analyze, develop, and criticize) ideas effectively. SLO 3: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to use correct grammar (syntax, mechanics, and citation of sources) at a college level of sophistication.

This class must be passed with a C or better to move on to CORE GE Area C3 and to satisfy the prerequisite for English 1B. A passing grade in the course signifies that the student is a capable college-level writer and reader of English. Essay 1&2 (10% each) 20% Essays 2&3 (15% each) 30% Essays 4&5 (5% each) 10% Quizzes & Reading Logs 10% Participation 10% Final Exam 20% Grading Scale: A-F Departmental Policy: The Department of English reaffirms its commitment to the differential grading scale as defined in the official 91 Catalog: (The Grading System). Grades issued must represent a full range of student performance: A=Excellent; B= Above Average; C= Average; D=Below Average; F=Failure. Course Content Essays Students will complete eight essays (including two rewrites) for a total of 8,000 words. This word count excludes the final exam, quizzes, and reading logs. Both in-class and out-of-class essays will be assigned. Students must complete all eight essays to pass the course. Readings Readings listed in the syllabus must be read before the class date. A cursory reading is not enoughstudents are expected to have thoroughly read and annotated assigned texts. Students who have not read the material or are unable to comment on the assigned readings will receive a negative participation grade in class. Reading logs will be assigned one class in advance. Reading Log Format An assigned reading log should be 1-2 pages long, typed, and follow this format: VOCABULARY: List any vocabulary words you had to look up, along with definitions SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT: Summarize the authors thesis and argument EVIDENCE: List the evidence the author uses to support his or her main points RESPONSE: What is your own response to the piece? Use specific examples to explain your reaction Quizzes Pop quizzes on assigned readings will be given at my discretion. Quizzes must be taken in class on the day given and cannot be made up. POLICIES Attendance Writing is a process that is learned through a series of steps. Missing classes will result in missing key steps that will help you progress in your writing, thus negatively impacting your grade. If you must miss a class, be sure to communicate with a classmate to find out any subject matter that you missed and to get copies of handouts. Participation Class participation is an important part of your grade. Participation doesnt just mean showing upit means showing up prepared and actively engaging in class activities. Participating in class discussions is a fun way to improve your critical thinking skills. Dont be afraid to express your opinions. Assignments All assignments are due on paper at the beginning of class on the date specified (not emailed). NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED.
