Since your college career will require an extensive amount of reading, interpreting and writing, this course is designed to enhance all of these skills. You will be reading a variety of published works, and you are encouraged to engage with the texts to recognize the components of excellent writing. The connection between reading and writing will help you become a more effective writer. Course Objectives You will learn to do the following: Form a clear, focused thesis statement Organize and develop your ideas Use correct punctuation and grammar Read critically and analyze effectively Required Texts and Materials Great Writing, 3rd Ed. Wiener & Eisenberg. Quick Access Compact, Troyka & Hesse. The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini Blue Books for in-class essays A writing notebook for reading responses and in-class work Course Requirements Writing Assignments: You will do a significant amount of writing, in various formats, in this course. Out-of-class essays must typed (Times New Roman 12 point font) and double-spaced, using MLA format. Essays are expected on the due date: late papers drop a grade for each day they are late. All essays must be completed to pass the course. Writing Notebook: This is primarily for you to reflect on the readings and each entry should be dated. Quizzes: These are not always announced beforehand. Be prepared. Attendance: Regular attendance and participation are expected. Assignments in class cannot be made up. Final Exam: The departmental final exam for all English 1A students will be given on Saturday, 12th May from 8:00-10:00am. The final exam is mandatory: you cant pass the class without it. Grading Standards Grades must represent a full range of student performance. Essays will be graded according to the following criteria: A= Excellent: The A essay is organized and well-constructed. It demonstrates a clear understanding of the topic and has a focused thesis. Paragraphs are fully developed and discussion of the ideas is apt and specific. The student utilizes appropriate details, lively vocabulary, syntactic complexity and smooth transitions. This paper is virtually free of mechanical errors and is a pleasure to read. B= Very Good: The B essay reflects an understanding of the prompt, but is less precise and not as convincing as the A paper. While it exhibits controlling ideas and supports them with specific examples, it may lack sentence variety and a consistent, smooth flow. This paper may contain minor grammatical/mechanical flaws, but it does show overall competence. C= Adequate: The C essay discusses the prompt but in a superficial or generalized way. The paragraphs exhibit a lack of firm control of the ideas and contain insufficient supportive detail. Word choice and syntax is somewhat immature and mechanical errors may be frequent enough to distract the reader. D= Poor: The D essay makes an attempt to discuss the prompt but is poorly organized, vague and lacks appropriate examples. The paper demonstrates weak control of ideas, and contains serious mechanical and grammatical errors. F=Unacceptable: The F essay does not fulfill any of the requirements of the assignment. It fails to address the prompt or misrepresents it significantly, it lacks coherence, and it does not reflect mechanical or grammatical competence. Your grade for the course will be determined as follows: In- class essays 25% Out-of-class essays 35% Departmental Final 20% Notebook/Quizzes/Participation 20% The course is graded A, B, C, No Credit. C is the minimum grade required to pass the course.
