the writing the writing experience experience xperiencexperienceThis course is a continuation of the writing instruction andpractice begun in ENG 131, with an emphasis on criticalthinking, information gathering, and those forms of writinguseful to academic and professional life. Research writing isemphasized. An end of the semester portfolio of informativeand research writings and an additional 16 hours of writingactivities and workshops (GPAW) are required.In this course, you will practice the essential details thatcontribute to the development of an interesting, unified,organized essay of substance. For every assignment you willneed to be aware of purpose, voice, and audience (all of whichwe will discuss). Because the correct use of grammar,punctuation, and mechanics are essential to effective writtenEnglish, you will need to pay careful attention to thesematters.ENG 132 course goals and objectives incorporate specificAssociate Degree Outcomes (ADOs) established by the JCCBoard of Trustees, administration, and faculty. These goalsare in concert with four-year colleges and universities andreflect input from the professional communities we serve.ADOs guarantee students achieve goals necessary forgraduation credit, transferability, professions skills needed inmany certification programs. The ADOs addressed in thiscourse are:o ADO 1: Writing clearly, concisely and intelligibly(Proficient Level).o ADO 9: Working in Small Groups (Proficient Level).ENG 132.I5Instructor: Dr. Bob BarringerE-mail: [email protected] communication among students and betweenstudents and instructor will take place on the coursewebsite and via Educator (the online coursemanagement system) email. You must use yourThe Writing ExperienceFall 2007 SyllabusPage 2REQUIRED TEXTBOOK, SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD & WEB SITE ACCESS:REQUIRED TEXTBOOK, SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD & WEB SITE ACCESS:Textbook: Faigley, Writing: A Guide for College and Beyond, Longmans, 2007.Software (unless you have MS Word 2003):Word Viewer (it’s free but takes about 2 ½ hours over a dial-up connection, so allow time) at:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=95E24C87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF&displaylang=enWeb Site:We will use the Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University as a grammar and mechanics reference:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/Note: The above items are required. I will assume you have the book from the firstday of class and the downloaded viewer by the end of the first week. No substitutions accepted for the textbook, in either title or edition. The cost of the textbook is part of the cost of the course. You are responsible for having access to the textbook from the first day of class until the last day of class.Communication: In an attempt to assure equal access to materials and services,including those provided by the instructor, all communication among students andbetween students and instructor will take place on the course website and viaEducator (the online course management system) email. Because we may be spreadout geographically (the very definition of distance education), there can be no face toThe Writing ExperienceFall 2007 SyllabusPage 3face meetings. Except in the event of a dire emergency, there can be no phone calls.A late paper or an absence from class, even a very late paper or an extendedabsence, does not constitute an emergency. Class policies for both of these eventsappear in this document. There are no exceptions to the policy, so there is noemergency. I do not give out my home phone number, and I do not regularly travelto any JCC campus. For the same reason of equal access assurance, you must useyour Educator email account for this course. You must check this account daily. Itis possible to forward the Educator email to another account for convenience ofnotification, but you must not use any other email, including your JCC main emailaccount, for transactions. Again, there are no exceptions. Within these limitations,I encourage frequent and regular communication via the approved media. Thefringe benefit is that any writing, even in email or discussion forums, is goodpractice. Problems of a technical nature must be reported to the JCCSolution Center. I will rarely be of any help with technical problems.COURSE REQUIREMENTS:COURSE REQUIREMENTS:Product: Portfolio (12-15 pages) of three papers (4-5 pages each) 30%Process: Peer Editing and Paper Drafting 30% (participation, draft acceptability, deadline adherence, etc.)Source Summaries and Annotations 15%Other 15%(discussions, other assignments, homework, quizzes, participation, attendance, etc.)Guided Practice and Workshops 10%Grades:You will notice that your paper grades are split into Product and Process.The Writing ExperienceFall 2007 SyllabusPage 4The product is the finished product in the portfolio. The grade will reflect thequality of the words on the page. The process grade reflects the quality of theeffort put forth to produce the final product. Because none of the Product grade, which accounts for 30% of your overall grade, comes in until the very end, a 10% “product potential” grade will be part of the grade on the intermediate review draft B (defined below). While it will not make much difference to your process grade, you can use the product potential grade to get a read on where the essay stands in relation to the final grade to come. I will use the product potential to assign a mid-term grade, so your mid-term grade may be very different than an average of all your grades up to mid-term. The good and the bad news is that potentials can change.GPAW:GPAW:All students enrolled in a writing course at JCC must complete a total of sixteen hours of additional guided practice in composition, called Guided Practice Activities and Workshops (GPAW), in addition to the main coursework. Since GPAW work closely corresponds to the main course writing assignments, students are expected to complete assigned workshops at the times specified on the course calendar. No more than 8 hours will be accepted following mid-term.Manuscript requirements:All work must be submitted online
