GE/91 Student Learning and Course Outcomes (SLOs) Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Learning Objective 1 (SLO1): Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to refine the competencies established in Written Communication 1A. Learning Objective 2 (SLO2): Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to use (locate, analyze, and evaluate) supporting materials, including independent library research, and identify key concepts and terms that describe the information needed. Learning Objective 3 (SLO3): Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to select efficient and effective approaches for accessing information utilizing an appropriate investigative method or information retrieval system. Learning Objective 4 (SLO4): Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to synthesize ideas encountered in multiple readings. Learning Objective 5 (SLO 5): Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to incorporate principles of design and communication to construct effective arguments.

Course Materials: A dictionary, a rhetoric, and an anthology (which contains analytical, critical, and argumentative essays) are appropriate materials to require of students. Students will also be required to purchase a handbook from a list of handbooks recommended by the English Department Composition Committee. Required Texts and Materials: Bullock, Richard. The Norton Field Guide to Writing with Readings and Handbook Sskind, Patrick. Perfume Student Choice of Reading from:  HYPERLINK "http://www.nytimes.com/pages/todayspaper/index.html" http://www.nytimes.com/pages/todayspaper/index.html or  HYPERLINK "http://www.newyorker.com/" http://www.newyorker.com/ wwnorton.com/write/fieldguide Maple Press Booklet College-level Dictionary Portfolio Binder Course Content: Writing: Assignments shall emphasize those skills and activities in writing and thinking that produce 1) the persuasive argument, and 2) the critical essay, each of which demands analysis, interpretation, and evaluation. Writing assignments shall give students repeated practice in prewriting, organizing, writing, revising, and editing. Six to eight essays, appropriately sequenced throughout the semester and totaling a minimum of 8000 words, are required; at least one of these essays shall be informed by research. This minimum requirement excludes the final examination, journal writing, quizzes, and any brief or informal assignments. However, it can include the diagnostic essay and assignments that require major revisions to a previously graded or reviewed draft. A major revision is defined as a rethinking or 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 evaluations 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 errors and suggest ways to correct them. Reading: Reading shall include useful models of writing for academic, general, and specific audiences; readings shall be used consistently with the course goal of enhancing ability in written communication and reading. The majority of the reading shall be devoted to analytical, critical, and argumentative essays. Other types of texts, including poetry, drama, and fiction, may also be assigned, but shall not constitute more than the equivalent of four class sessions for classes that meet two days a week and two class sessions for classes that meet once a week. Instructors shall help students develop and refine strategies for reading challenging, college-level material. Research: English 1B shall include an introduction to the library and to basic research strategies, including locating materials, using them effectively (e.g., quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing), and citing them properly. A traditional research paper or a series of short essays in which library research informs the students position or thesis is required. As part of this requirement, at least one class session of English 1B shall be led by a university librarian. Tutoring: Students whose writing displays serious deficiencies in their control of standard English syntax, grammar, or puctuation will be advised to seek help from the University Writing Center. (Monday-Thursday: 9am-5:30pm; Friday: 9am-12pm; Clark Hall, Suite 126408.924.2308) 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 two college-level reading passages 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: The English Department reaffirms its commitment to the differential grading scale as defined in the official 91 Catalog (The Grading System). Further, a passing grade in the course signifies that the student has developed those writing, reading, and research abilities necessary for upper-division work. Grades issued will represent a full range of student performance: A=Excellent; B=Above Average; C=Average; D=Below Average; and F=Failure. Courses graded according to the A, B, C, No Credit (NC) system will follow the same policy except that an NC will replace a D or F. NC will substitute for Withdrawal (W) because neither NC nor W affects students grade point averages. In English Department courses, instructors comment on and grade the quality of student writing as well as the quality of the ideas being conveyed. All student writing should be distinguished by correct grammar and punctuation, appropriate diction and syntax, and well-organized paragraphs. Class Policies, Protocols, and Procedures: NO in-class work can be made up NO late papers will be accepted NO homework will be accepted NO work will be accepted via email Out-of-class papers will be typed, double-spaced, and ALWAYS follow MLA standards Out-of-class papers should be approximately 4 pages or 1000 words Final research essay should be approximately 8-9 pages or 2000 words Poorly presented papers will be returned unread with a grade of NC Work suspected of plagiarism will be returned with a grade of NC All homework and papers will be turned in at the beginning of class time Course success depends upon good attendance, preparedness, participation*, and completion of reading assignments Eating in class will NOT be accepted All cell phones will be turned OFF during class time All students must follow the English departmental policies All students must follow the 91 policies, protocols, and procedures You are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops, academic renewal, withdrawal *Participation is defined as including unannounced quizzes and writing exercises, unannounced in-class writing assignments and projects, and class conversation/discussion groups. Assignment Schedule: A detailed schedule of assignments and activities is attached. Days listing readings means you need to read the assigned pages PRIOR to class. Occasionally, the schedule may change with fair notice, so please keep informed.  Academic Integrity: Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at 91, and the Universitys Academic Integrity Policy requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the Office of Judicial Affairs. The policy on academic integrity can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www2.sjsu.edu/senate/S04-12.htm" http://www2.sjsu.edu/senate/S04-12.htm. The 91 rules against plagiarism are set forth in the 91 Catalog, which defines plagiarism as the act of representing the work of another as ones own (without giving appropriate credit) regardless of how that work was obtained, and submitting it to fulfill academic requirements. Plagiarism at 91 includes, but is not limited to, the act of incorporating the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts thereof, or the specific substance of anothers work, without giving appropriate credit, and representing the product as ones own work. It is the role and obligation of each student to know the rules that preserve academic integrity and abide by them at all times. This includes learning and folowing the particular rules associated with specific classes, exams, and/or course assignments. Ignorance of these rules is NOT a defense to the charge of violating the Academic Integrity Policy. Campus Policy on Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act: If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need 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. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting accommodations must register with DRC to establish a record of their disability. The DRC website is  HYPERLINK "http://www.drc.sjsu.edu" http://www.drc.sjsu.edu.
