ENGLISH 122 ONLINE: FRESHMAN COMPOSITION & READING


Spring 2013, Diablo Valley College Instructor: Sae Na Hong Engl-122, section 2019 Office: FO 218 Office hours: Mon, Wed & Fridays 2-3 pm E-mail: Send via WebCT And by appointment Phone: 925-685-1230 COURSE DESCRIPTION


Welcome to English 122, a transfer-level writing class that will count towards your requirements at a CSU or a UC. This is an intensive writing class; accordingly, we will write extensively and produce essays that demonstrate a variety of rhetorical skills and utilize the online resources that are available for us as a virtual class. We will engage with contemporary issues in society and think about how to negotiate the multi-faceted aspects of a single issue; we will read and encounter voices from a diverse spectrum of perspectives. As we learn to read carefully, we will also learn to become better critical thinkers.


In a world that emphasizes consumption over introspection, we need the reflective exercise of writing more than ever. The activities of thinking, writing, and revising take energy and effort, but they are fundamental to our growth as scholars, citizens, and human beings. I look forward to working and writing with you this semester! PREREQUISITES FOR THE COURSE


• ENGL - 116 OR reading/writing assessment OR ENGL AP Score of 3 or equivalent • ENGL - 118 OR reading/writing assessment OR ENGL AP Score of 3 or equivalent


COURSE OBJECTIVES (in consultation with Student Learning Outcomes, “SLOs” www.dvc.edu) The purpose of this course is to have students apply disciplined thought to language in order to comprehend and analyze college-level readings, and to compose college-level essays that are coherent, detailed, and free of serious error.


A. In writing and discussion, demonstrate their ability to read carefully a variety of non-fiction essays, including such skills as identifying and restating the thesis in their own words; evaluating the nature and quality of a reading; and assessing whether the author has successfully supported the thesis.


B. Demonstrate their ability to think critically and demonstrate this through such skills as uncovering fallacious reasoning; recognizing the difference between fact and opinion; identifying supported and unsupported assertion; and synthesizing the ideas from two or more essays.


C. Recognize how style and literary features (symbols, images, metaphors, etc.)


influence meaning; recognize varieties of tone; recognize the importance of allusions.


D. Write well-structured, college-appropriate essays of a minimum of 750 words, with a minimum of 6,000 final draft words written in the semester. These essays will be free of serious sentence errors, be focused on a specific topic, and contain an introduction, conclusion, thesis, a variety of support, and sense of style and voice. The students will write well-developed, coherent paragraphs that use complex transitions to achieve coherence. Students will be aware of the effects of varying sentence length and type, and recognize and appreciate the sentence style of professional writers.


E. Demonstrate ability to use a variety of rhetorical strategies to develop a topic appropriately. They will include research appropriate to their purpose and be able to find support for their ideas in the library and other appropriate sources (personal interviews, personal experience, online resources, etc.).

Grading scale (according to DVC guidelines) A (90% or above) B (80-89%) C (70-79%) D (60-69%) INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING WORK ONLINE


Weekly Deadlines: You can think of this course having three deadlines per week, roughly following a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule. The detailed course schedule googledoc has all the information you need, but it will help you to conceptualize our class as having meetings three times per week. There is NO face-to-face meeting requirement for the course. Here is an overview of the general rhythm for the course:


o All work is due @ 9 pm for all deadlines o Mondays: Large Group Discussion posting due (ONLY applicable to


assigned Discussion Leaders) and reading response due (everyone) o Wednesdays: Homework assignment due (everyone) o Fridays: Small group discussion posting due (everyone)


• Homework Assignments. Submit your homework assignments (HWs) through


WebCT email, and title your email with the following subject heading: Homework Number and name.


o Ex) HW1_BradPitt o Submit your homework response in the body of the email, and ALSO as


an attachment. It is your responsibility to follow through with both steps;


if I receive a blank email without an attachment, you will receive a ‘0’ for the assignment.


INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING YOUR WORK


• Major Writing Assignments: ALL major essay assignments should be submitted as a Word document attachment and follow MLA formatting guidelines. Consult our MLA help link to review MLA guidelines.


• Defining timeliness: All major papers and short assignments are due at the BEGINNING of class on the due date of the assignment. After the beginning of class, papers will be considered late. See below for late work policy.


• Late work: In an ideal world, there would be no such thing as “late work.” However, life being what it is, I understand that late work happens. SO… my policy for this unfortunate category of work is that all late work will be marked down one grade for every day that it is late. Note that this policy only applies to the major papers.


o Other work: I will NOT accept late work for short assignments (SG


postings, HWs). Please follow the course schedule carefully in order to not miss deadlines.


o NQA: Included on this syllabus is an “NQA” coupon. You may use this No Questions Asked coupon once in order to submit something up to one week late without penalization. If you choose to use your NQA coupon, you have 1 week to turn in your work. EMAIL me by the original deadline with the subject heading “NQA coupon for (assignment name)” – this will let me know that you’re using the NQA coupon to give yourself an extra week to finish the work.


• Academic dishonesty is a very serious academic offence, and will result AT


LEAST in the paper receiving a grade of F or the student’s failing the course. Academic dishonesty is defined as follows: “an act of deception in which a student claims credit for the work or effort of another person or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic work. Academic dishonesty is a violation of the DVC ‘Student Code of Conduct’ and will not be tolerated. Academic dishonesty diminishes the quality of scholarship at Diablo Valley College and hurts the majority of students who conduct themselves honestly” (www.dvc.edu, Policies and Procedures).


o Plagiarism: Representing someone else’s words, ideas, artistry, or data as


one’s own, including copying another person’s work without appropriate referencing, presenting someone else’s opinions and theories as one’s own. Note that plagiarism can happen without one intending to do so. Plagiarism can take the following forms:


 Outright copying without proper acknowledgment  Paraphrasing someone’s original idea or data without


acknowledgment (this excludes “common knowledge”)  Taking someone’s writing, switching just some words around, and


presenting it as your own work. OTHER NOTES REGARDING COURSE EXPECTATIONS AND POLICIES…


• Editing and Proof Reading: Please note that comments made on final papers will focus on each paper’s structure and content, rather than grammar issues. Students in English 122 are expected to have proficient mastery over grammar/usage issues. Before handing in papers, you should pay close attention to editing and proof reading, since these elements will affect your final grade for the paper.


• NRGs: Papers with too many grammar and sentence-level issues will be returned


with an NRG mark, which signifies “Not Ready for Grading.” You can rewrite one NRG paper; if you receive an NRG on more than one paper, the NRG will equal an F.


Tutoring at DVC Writing help is available in our English Tutoring Lab in LC105. All students registered for courses are eligible for two hours of reading and/or writing tutoring per week. While English tutors help students develop ideas more coherently, they do not provide editing services. For more information, go to www.dvc.edu/english/lc.htm Disability Policy and Support Services If you are a student who needs academic accommodations or support because of a documented disability, you should contact me – and provide copies of your contract or accommodation letters – as soon as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be made. All discussions will remain confidential. If you have questions about accessing Disability Support Services, documenting a disability or requesting accommodations, you should contact Stacey Shears, sshears@dvc.edu, x2546.
