Beyond providing repeated practice in planning and executing essays, and broadening and deepening students understanding of the genres, audiences, and purposes of college writing, English 1B differs from English 1A in its emphasis on persuasive and critical writing (with less attention paid to the personal essay), its requirement for fewer but longer essays, and its introduction to writing informed by research. Students will develop sophistication in writing analytical, argumentative, and critical essays; a mature writing style appropriate to university discourse; reading abilities that will provide an adequate foundation for upper-division work; proficiency in basic library research skills and in writing papers informed by research; and mastery of the mechanics of writing. Prerequisites: Passage of Written Communication 1A (C or better) or approved equivalent. Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives Building on the college-level proficiencies required in English 1A, students shall achieve the ability to write complete essays that demonstrate advanced proficiency in all of the following: Clear and effective communication of meaning. An identifiable focus (argumentative essays will state their thesis clearly and will show an awareness, implied or stated, of some opposing point of view). An appropriate voice that demonstrates an awareness of audience and purpose. Careful attention to review and revision. Effective and correct use of supporting materials, including independent research (e.g., quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, and citing sources); Effective analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and synthesis of ideas encountered in multiple readings. Effective organization and development of ideas at paragraph and essay levels. Appropriate and effective sentence structure and diction. Command of conventional mechanics (e.g., punctuation, spelling, reference, agreement). Student Learning Objectives: SLO 1: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to refine the competencies established in Written Communication 1A. SLO 2: 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. SLO 3: 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. SLO 4: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to synthesize ideas encountered in multiple readings. SLO 5: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to incorporate principles of design and communication to construct effective arguments. SLO 6: Students shall write complete essays that demonstrate the ability to identify and discuss issues related to censorship and freedom of speech.

Grades issued must represent a full range of student performance: A=Excellent; B= Above Average; C= Average; D=Below Average; F=Failure. Course Content Essays Students will complete eight essays (including two significant rewrites) for a total of 8,000 words. This word count excludes the final exam, quizzes, and reading logs. Both in-class and out-of-class essays will be assigned. Students must complete all eight essays to pass the course. Essay 1 (SLO 1, 3) Essay 2 (SLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Essay 3 (SLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Essay 4 (SLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Essay 5 (SLO 1, 3, 4) Essay 6 (SLO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Readings and Reading Logs Readings listed in the syllabus must be read before the class date. A cursory reading will not sufficestudents are expected to have thoroughly read, comprehended, and annotated the assigned text. Students who have not read the material or are unable to comment on the assigned readings will receive a negative participation grade in class. Reading logs will be assigned one class in advance. Reading Log Format An assigned reading log should be 1-2 pages long, typed, and follow this format: VOCABULARY: List any vocabulary words you had to look up, along with definitions SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT: Summarize the authors thesis and argument EVIDENCE: List the evidence the author uses to support his or her main points RESPONSE: What is your own response to the piece? Use specific examples to explain your reaction Quizzes Pop quizzes on assigned readings will be given at my discretion. Quizzes must be taken in class on the day given and cannot be made up. Presentations Each student will give one short presentation on a research topic during the course of the semester, highlighting different sources and research methods Final Assignment Instead of a final exam, you will write a critical reflection at the end of the class. Think of it as a scientific study of your progress as a writer over the next four months. Remember, writing is a process. Collecting your work and then reflecting on that work is part of the process. The final assignment is designed to get you thinking about your specific challenges, your strategies for improvement, your successes and failures, and your goals for the future. Every writer, no matter how accomplished, has room for improvement. This assignment is your culminating experience. This course does not have a final exam. POLICIES Attendance Writing is a process that is learned through a series of steps. Missing classes will result in missing key steps that will help you progress in your writing, thus negatively impacting your grade. If you must miss a class, be sure to communicate with a classmate to find out any subject matter that you missed and to get copies of handouts. Participation Class participation is an important part of your grade. Participation doesnt just mean showing upit means showing up prepared and actively engaging in class activities. Participating in class discussions is a fun way to improve your critical thinking skills and raise your grade. Dont be afraid to express your opinions! Assignments All assignments are due on paper at the beginning of class on the date specified (and emailed as a backup). NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. All assignments must be completed in order to pass the class. One-Time Emergency Pass Because all students may at one point during the semester be faced with a genuine emergency, students shall have a one-time-only EMERGENCY PASS to be used for a major essay assignment. It is suggested that students wait to use this pass for a real emergency, as it can only be used once. The emergency pass may be used to turn in any out-of-class essay 7 days late. Directions: Email me that you are using your emergency pass by the date/time of the assignment due. When you turn in your essay, attach a stapled note that you are using your emergency pass for your essay. Sign and date it as below, and submit it to me in class no later than 7 days late. I am using my emergency pass for __(assignment)______due ___(date)___. I ______(name)_____________understand the guidelines for using this pass.
