You will be expected to check Blackboard regularly. It provides a space for our class to update assignments, post materials, and communicate with one another. At the completion of this course, the student will be able to: Interpret and evaluate argumentative discourse, including writing and speech Construct cogent arguments Communicate those arguments clearly, coherently and effectively Locate, synthesize, and evaluate relevant information Demonstrate an understanding of the aims and methods of intellectual discourse Weigh evidence and evaluate the arguments of differing viewpoints Turn off (not vibrate) your cell phone in this class. If your phone rings or if you are sending or receiving text messages, I will mark you absent for that day. Class Description: In this course, we will be thinking about the larger concepts in culture (gender, race, etc). By examining the arguments and ideas presented to us through advertisements, songs, poetry, we will discuss these larger concepts in class and use them to generate essays. We will be hearing and seeing things that are controversial so remember to keep an open mind. The aim of this class is to help you become better readers, writers, and thinkers. You will learn to perform these skills more critically and in-depth, which will help you in your other courses as well as in the real world. At the end of the course you will have improved your ability to write for a variety of purposes and you will have discovered how writing and culture matter to your thinking. Class Requirements: This class will require reading and writing everyday. You will not succeed in this class if you fail to do either. Failure to complete assignments, large or small, will result in a reduction in your grade. Formal Papers: You will write three essays this semester, approximately 3 to 4 pages each. You will receive assignment sheets as we begin each new essay with specific requirements for that assignment. Late papers will not be accepted. If you know you will be absent the day an assignment is due, you must make arrangements to get it into my hands by the time class is scheduled to begin. Format: Although we will be doing a great deal of informal writing assignments, please note that ALL typed, formal assignments must be in MLA format. This means that your name, my name, the course prefix and number, and the date must go in the upper left hand corner of the first page, with your last name and page number in the upper right hand corner of each of the following pages. Also, your entire paper must be double-spaced and use Times New Roman, 12 point font. Any other format is unacceptable. Writers Notebook: In your three-ring binder, you will use a section for in-class writing, exercises, and responses as well as any out-of-class writing you do. This class uses the portfolio method for grading, so everything you do is a potential piece that you can include in your final portfolio at the end of the semester. So dont throw anything awayseriously. Save everythingall drafts of essays, etcand put it in your binder. I will be collecting these assignments periodically to read and comment on. Poetry Journal: You will be reading 3 poems every week and submitting a 1 to 2 page typed response to those poems every Friday. These responses are NOT designed for you to interpret what you think the poem means, but rather to look at the language the author uses and his subject to determine his rhetoric and what he wants you, the reader, to take away from his poem. Class Participation: Make your voice heard in class. When you speak up, I know that you have done the assignment and your opinion will contribute to the class discussion. Remember to be respectful of other peoples views. Throughout the semester, you will be doing work in groups and you are expected to participate equally. You will be reporting back to me so that I know you are contributing to the class and to your group. Before each formal essay is due, we will take time to read each others drafts and to give constructive feedback. Dont miss these workshop days and do not show up without a draft. Peer Review: We will be focusing on revising essays in this course and one of the best methods of doing this is to listen to and read what your peers have to say about your essay. However, this is not your average opportunity to BS your peers or to make some vague comment like Good ideas. We will be using a detailed handout that you will take home with you as to spend time on and carefully evaluate your peers essay. This will be done anonymously, so you wont know whose paper you are reviewing or who reviews your essay. However, you will be graded on how much effort you put into the peer review process. So use the Golden Rule, and you will receive the same effort. Attendance: It is essential that you attend class regularly. You are allowed FOUR absences, excused or not. Upon the fifth absence your grade will be lowered one letter grade. Any absences beyond that will result in failure of the course. If you are more than ten minutes late to class twice, it will be recorded as an absence. Tardiness is disruptive, so be on time. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to ask a classmate for the assignments you missed. An absence is not an excuse for being unprepared for the next class. Grades: I will return your work with comments in order to help you in your revision process for the final portfolio. Though I only require you to turn assignments in when they are due, I will be happy to look at any piece of writing you would like help with at any time during the semester. Your Final Portfolio is worth 50% of your final grade and will include all revised essays and assignments you wish to submit [up to 20 pages], and a self-evaluation letter) Reading Quizzes: Previous Composition students have taught me that giving quizzes is the only way you will actually read what I assign; therefore, we will have a reading quiz at the beginning of every class when a reading is due. Deal with it. Conferences: We will have one conference session this semester to discuss essays that you are working on as well as your progress throughout the semester. You are required to attend this conference. I will be canceling our class time, so if you do not show up you will receive one UNEXCUSED absence. Plagiarism: Using someone elses ideas or words as your own on any assignment is plagiarism. It is a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy ( HYPERLINK "http://www.uncg.edu/saf/studiscp/Honor.html" www.uncg.edu/saf/studiscp/Honor.html) and will be treated as such.
