The experience of studenthood is the experience of being just so far over ones head that it is both realistic and necessary to work at survival. Mina Shaughnessy Course Description: Re-reading, Re-writing, and Re-thinking Cultural Languages and Literacies. Turn on The Simpsons, The Family Guy, open a magazine, read a book and you are not just experiencing the original text, but also all the other texts it references. If you are unable to understand those references you are excluded from the full experience of the piece. Making sure you can fully experience what you hear, watch, and read requires a level of cultural literacy. Cultural literacy is the ability to converse fluently in the idioms, allusions and informal content which creates and constitutes a dominant culture. From being familiar with street signs to knowing historical references to understanding the most recent slang, literacy demands interaction with the culture and is a reflection of it. The subject of cultural languages (such as slang) and literacies (popular culture and urban legends) provides us with a lens for viewing ourselves in relationship to different cultures and constitutes the topical nature of this class. In addition to writing several analytical and argumentative essays, you will also be asked to reflect on your own cultural literacy, how and where it determines meaning-making in your thinking, reading, and writing. At the heart of this class is the writing process, and as you revise yourself as a reader of cultural literacy, you will revise yourself as a writer by exploring, developing, and improving writing skills through mini-essays, reading responses, and in-class writing exercises. Reading include the usual suspects: short stories, essays, poems, and a novel, but we will also look at other textstelevision, film, musicin our examination of cultural literacy. Content aside, this class will help you make connections between what you learn in the academic setting and the world outside of ithow reading, writing, and critical thinking (and constantly re-doing all of these things) connect to real life. Learning Goals 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 Required Texts and Materials Books: Big Fish -- Daniel Wallace Writing Matters -- UNCG English Department Online Requirements: Online access (available in the library or any computer lab on campus if you dont have a home computer) E-Spartan Email Address Blackboard Account ( HYPERLINK "http://blackboard.uncg.edu" http://blackboard.uncg.edu) login/password provided when you open your student computer accounts Attendance Attendance is vital for success in this, or any, college class. After two unexcused absences your final grade will be penalized. The final grade of a student with more than two unexcused absences will be lowered by one full letter grade. Any student with more than four absences (two full weeks of class) will receive a failing grade for the class. Absences will be excused at my discretion for medical emergencies, jury duty/court appearances, participation in University activities (sports, theatre, dance, etc). **Please note, you will not receive participation points for the days you are absent, you cannot make up in class work done while you are absent, and work will not be accepted late if you are absent. Portfolio (50%) Instead of a final exam this course culminated in a final portfolio. The writing you do throughout the semester will provide you with the material to create your portfolio. The portfolio will include polished pieces of the writings you worked on all semester as well as your own reflective statements about your work as a writer and student in this class. It is a chance for you to show off your best writing and to provide a reasoned argument for your final grade in the class. After mid-term we will begin work on the specifics of putting together a portfolio and reflecting on your work so-far in preparation for the final product. Formal Writing (15%) In this class you will prepare three major written assignments an analytical/argumentative essay, a profile essay, and an annotated bibliography. Keep all drafts of your papers in a section of your notebook. The drafts are an important element of your portfolio, they help you recognize and document your writing process, and they allow me to see your revision work (an important element of your portfolio grade). Group Presentations (5%) In addition to your formal writings you are required to participate in a group presentation about the novel Big Fish. In-Class Writings, Quizzes, Responses, On-line Posts (15%) These may include short writing exercises, free writes, short answer quizzes on readings, and weekly reading / topic responses to be turned in and/or posted on Blackboard. These types of assignments may be given in-class and so cannot be made up if you are absent or late. They provide a place for you to discover and play around with paper ideas and engage more deeply with the assigned readings. They also allow me to see: (1) whether you are reading; (2) whether you comprehend what you are reading; and (3) whether you are making connections between the lectures, class discussions, additional readings, and the works. Participation & Group Work (15%) This course depends heavily on large and small group work/writing workshops/class participation. However, this does not mean that you simply receive credit for dragging your body to class. You will be assigned peer groups at the beginning of the semester, with whom you will have group discussion about readings in class, lead the class in some larger group discussions for short presentation of the novel and review essay drafts be prepared to work closely with your fellow students. Evaluation Breakdown: Grading Scale: Final Portfolio - 40% 100-90 = A+/A/A- Participation/Group Work/Individidual Conferences 15% 89-80 = B+/B/B- Formal Assignments (3) - 15% 79-70 = C+/C/C- Quizzes/Responses/Online Posts 15% 69-60 = D+/D/D- Group Presentation 5% 59-below = F Conferences I will try to meet with you individually at least three times during the semester. Initially we will meet informally to get to know one another. At mid-term we will meet to discuss your progress in the class. Finally, we will meet before your final portfolio is due. With the exception of the longer portfolio conference, conferences should last between 10-15 minutes. Attendance at conferences is required. Missing a conference will count as one absence. Late Work I Do Not Accept Late Papers. Seriously. That includes essays, responses, and informal writings. If you must be absent when an assignment is due, you must make arrangements to get the paper to me ahead of time. The Writing Center If you have problems or concerns about any of the writing for class you can arrange to meet with me, or you can visit the Writing Center. The Writing Center is in room 3211 in the new HHRA Building at the corner of Spring Garden and Forest St. It is a great place to get new and different perspectives on your writing. You can drop by or make an appointment, just be sure you bring all your materials. (Assignment sheet, draft, pen/pencil) Plagiarism/Academic Dishonesty All verified cases of academic dishonesty (including cheating and plagiarism, the use of anothers text or ideas without proper credit and citation) will be reported to the proper university officials and may earn students a variety of instructor-imposed sanctions, from having to repeat the assignment to failing the course. Such reported cases will put the student at risk of university sanctions against cheating, which include expulsion from the university as one of many consequences. Please See UNCGs Academic Integrity Policy online at  HYPERLINK "http://studentconduct.uncg.edu/policy/academicintegrty/" http://studentconduct.uncg.edu/policy/academicintegrty/ or in the 2006-2007 Undergraduate Bulletin. Disability Access Statement Students in university classrooms who have various disabilities (whether visible or invisible) are, of course, welcome, and their rights protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. However, it is imperative that students with disabilities register with the Office of Disability Services (334-5440) and inform the instructor of any special needs as early as possible so that the necessary arrangements or adjustments can be made. Classroom Guidelines Students are solely responsible for personal conduct and assigned work. You must take responsibility for your own learning in this course. I will aid you in the learning process, but, ultimately, learning is your choice. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out (not for me to hunt down and tell you) what you missed in class that day. It is your responsibility to get your work in on time and to stay awake in class, to know that if you have to get up and leave for anything, you should do it quietly, and to let me know ahead of time if you need to leave early so that it is not is disruption. It is your responsibility to take your papers to the Writing Center for revision work or to make an appointment to see me in my office, keep appointments for conferences and so on. I think you get what I mean. Respect others comments and contributions to class discussion. If you ridicule what someone else has said in a derogatory and disrespectful manner, you will be asked to leave the class for that period and allowed back in only after a private conference with me. Turn off all cellular/digital/technological/noisemaking devices (including pagers). Im likely to confiscate them otherwise.
