Students will develop college-level reading abilities, rhetorical sophistication, and writing styles that give form and coherence to complex ideas and feelings. Prerequisites: Placement by the English Proficiency Test (EPT), or passage of an approved substitute course for the EPT. Course Objectives: Students shall achieve the ability to write complete essays that demonstrate college-level proficiency in all of the following: C Clear and effective communication of meaning. C 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). C The ability to perform effectively the essential steps of the writing process (prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing). C The ability to explain, analyze, develop, and criticize ideas effectively. C Effective use within their own essays of supporting material drawn from reading or other sources. C Effective organization within the paragraph and the essay. C Accuracy, variety, and clarity of sentences. C Appropriate diction. C Control of conventional mechanics (e.g., punctuation, spelling, reference, agreement). Section Description: In this course you will approach writing as a dynamic process, where you will organize and present ideas while finding your voice, and where you will hopefully discover new ideas along the way. I like to think of this as discovery through writing. You will be expected to turn in a piece of writing, or to compose an in-class essay for each time the class meets. While this will be an intensive course that is meant to prepare you for more advanced writing classes, I hope you will find that writing can be fun, and that your essays are a place to express your unique perspectives. Most importantly, I hope that you will become comfortable in your writing, whether you should be composing a business email or filling out a greeting card. Workshops: During draft workshops your classmates will read and comment on your essays. You will need to bring 3 copies of full, completed drafts to share in class. If you miss the workshop your final draft essay grade will be lowered one grade. One Page Responses: For each class that we meet, except when essays are due, you will bring in a typed, double-spaced one page response to the assigned reading. Sometimes I will provide you with a prompt for these assignments, while other times you can respond freely to the reading. I might call on students to read responses aloud, or I might ask you to get in groups and discuss them. Late Policy: In rare situations due dates may extended, but you will need to come see me in advance. Essays turned in late will be docked one grade for each day they are late. Other Policies: You will be required to submit your out-of-class papers to Turnitin.com. Required Texts/Reading: Most of the readings are located in the following required textbooks. We will also take advantage of the internet by reading some texts online. For the days that online texts are assigned, you are permitted to bring laptops to class. The Curious Writer Bruce Ballenger 3rd Edition 50 Essays Samuel Cohen 2nd Edition The Everyday Writer Andrea A Lunsford 4th Edition Recommended Reading: I highly recommend obtaining a copy of Strunk and Whites The Elements of Style. Grades: The final grade in this course will be determined as follows: Essays: 60% The first in-class essay is for diagnostic purposes and will not be graded. The remaining 7 essays will comprise 60% of your entire grade. Class Participation: 10% I will expect you to attend class, and to participate in discussions and group work. One Page Responses: 10% Final Exam: 20% General Education Area A2 Student Learning Outcomes 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. SLO 4: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to write for different audiences.  Course Content Writing: Writing assignments shall give students repeated practice in all phases of the writing process: prewriting, organizing, writing, revising, and editing. This class requires appropriately sequenced essays totaling a minimum of 8000 words. This minimum requirement excludes the final examination, journal writing, quizzes, and any brief or informal assignments. However, it can include assignments that require major revisions of drafts already submitted for a grade and commented on by peers and/or instructor. A major revision is defined as a significant rethinking and reworking of an assignment, and not a simple correcting of mechanical errors noted on the original. At least three (but no more than four) essays shall be written in class. How the 8000-word minimum will be met and distributed must be clearly indicated on greensheets. Students shall receive frequent evaluation of their writing from the instructor. In evaluating student writing, instructors shall comment on specific features of individual papers. Comments shall encourage and acknowledge student success as well as note problems and suggest ways to improve. Reading: Reading for the course shall be extensive and intensive and include useful models of writing for academic, general, and specific audiences. Diversity: Assignments (both reading and writing) shall address issues of race, class, and gender when appropriate, and the perspectives of women and diverse cultural groups shall be incorporated into course instruction and materials in an inclusive and comprehensive manner whenever possible. Tutoring: San Jose State University provides students with free tutoring at the Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC) and at the Writing Center. Both of these centers will help students at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to major reorganization to stylistic polishing. Students of all abilities are encouraged to use these services; it is a common myth that these services are for "dumb" students, but no published author made it without another pair of eyes on her/his work. LARC is located under the 10th Street parking garage in SSC 600. (408) 924-2587 The Writing Center is located on the first floor of Clark Hall in Room 126. (408) 924-2308. You can schedule an appointment here: http://www.sjsu.edu/writingcenter/tutoring/requestforappointment/index.htm The University Essay Final Exam: A common essay final, graded holistically, shall count 20 percent toward the course grade. A single university-wide final will be developed around a college-level reading passage each semester by the English Department Composition Committee. All faculty members teaching individual sections will grade the examination holistically under controlled conditions. Students must take the final exam in order to pass the course. Grading: A-F. This class must be passed with a C or higher to move on to English 1B (C- is not acceptable for 1B). A passing grade in the course signifies that the student is a capable college-level writer and reader of English. University Policies Academic integrity: Your commitment as a student to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University. The  HYPERLINK "http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/S07-2.htm" Universitys Academic Integrity policy, located at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/S07-2.htm, requires you to be honest in all your academic course work.

For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include your assignment or any material you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that 91s Academic Policy S07-2 requires approval of instructors. Campus Policy in Compliance with the American Disabilities Act: If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need to make special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours.
