Cox Office: FO 115 Phone: (408) 924-4449 Email: bmcox@email.sjsu.edu Office Hrs. MW 9:00-10:15, F 8:00-8:45, and by appointment HYPERLINK mailto:bmcox@email.sjsu.edu Objectives: This course provides an introduction to some of the types, processes, and challenges of professional writing. Toward that end, you will " explore the writing field to understand what writers do and how they do it; " analyze the components of style in many kinds of writing in order to understand and develop a personal style; " consider the way a text s form (sentence structure, organization, and formatting) impacts its content and reception; " learn how to interact with members of a group in workshops and as a member of an editing/production team; " practice a variety of writing tasks and a variety of written genres; " apply writing, editing, and publication techniques to the production of texts for a variety of purposes and audiences; " plan, write, and publish two newsletters: The Writing Life and the English Department Newsletter. Methods: Class sessions will employ a combination of lectures; class discussions; in-class analysis, revision, and style exercises; and workshops. Required Texts and Materials: The Fourth Genre, Root, Jr. & Steinberg (4th edition) A comprehensive handbook of English grammar, punctuation, and usage A college-level (unabridged) English dictionary An email account and regular access to a computer with internet access and a reliable printer Computer disks as required Colored pens Course Requirements: Production Team: You will complete the tasks required of one of the following positions on the production team of The Writing Life or the English Department Newsletter: Layout/Design/ Graphics Editor, Production Coordinator, Production Technician, Copy Editor, Proofreader. Note: Though I have set aside some class time for production activities, most of these activities will need to be done outside of class time. Please plan your semester accordingly. Writing: You will complete four formal writing assignments: an article for the English Department Newsletter or a submission to the Writing Life, a writer抯 profile/interview, a review of a play-in-performance, a genre-of-choice essay (personal essay, biography or history, or memoir), and a series of less formal style-oriented exercises. Note: Some of the writing and production assignments will overlap, which means that there will be times that you will be working on two or more assignments simultaneously. Please plan your semester accordingly. Reading: Reading and writing are related activities. This is not a course in speed reading. I am not interested in how adept you are at skimming a reading assignment and coming up with the 揼ist� of it. The assigned readings serve a three-fold purpose: (1) to stimulate critical thought, (2) to serve as examples of different writing styles, and (3) to provide models of writing strategies. I expect you to read them, with these purposes in mind, before the class session for which they are assigned, and to be prepared to discuss them in class. Attendance and Participation: On-time class attendance and active participation in classroom discussions and workshops are extremely important. If you miss class, you will always miss something important; if you miss a workshop or a production-team meeting, you will be letting down your colleagues. I expect you to be interested, enthusiastic, and committed to working hard at making the written word work for you. The degree to which you do or do not come to class on time and prepared to contribute to the classroom exchange of ideas and information will be a 20% factor in determining your final grade in this course. Please Note: (1) You cannot contribute if you are not here; (2) your presence, in and of itself, does not constitute participation. You are in this class to learn to express your own ideas effectively. Presenting the ideas or writings of another as one抯 own is plagiarism. Any act of plagiarism will result in automatic failure on the assignment, No Credit in the course, and possible dismissal from the university. Faculty members are required to report all infractions of the University抯 Academic Integrity Policy to the Office of Judicial Affairs. Be familiar with that policy, which can be found at HYPERLINK "http://sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html." http://sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html. Students who need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability or need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated need to make an appointment to see 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 the Disability Resource Center to establish a record of their disability. Students are responsible for understanding university policies on adds/drops, academic renewal, withdrawl, incompletes, etc. Class Policies: All writing assignments will be reviewed in classroom workshop sessions and then revised before they are submitted to me for a grade on the final version. That process must be completed on the dates designated in order for those assignments to receive a grade. Workshops will require that you email your drafts to members of your workshop group and your instructor prior to scheduled workshop sessions (see class schedule for dates and times). Workshop group members will download and have read (and marked according to instructions) the drafts prior to workshop sessions and will be prepared to discuss those drafts during the workshop session; workshop members will sign and return marked drafts to the authors. Final versions of workshopped assignments must be accompanied by copies of all marked and signed workshopped drafts in order to receive a grade; assignments submitted without all workshopped drafts will not be accepted and will earn zeros in my grade book. Please note that the care and attention you give to reading and marking your colleagues� drafts will be factored into the Classwork and Participation portion of your grade. Please note also that some assignments require that you turn in multiple hardcopies and/or copies of your work on disk; plan accordingly. Unless otherwise specified, writing assignments are to be typed, double spaced, on standard 8-1/2" x 11" white paper, with 1-1/2" margins at the top, bottom, and sides. Pages should be numbered consecutively. Short corrections and/or insertions may be typed or written, legibly, in ink, above the line involved. Your name should appear on every page. Pages should be stapled in the upper left corner (no cover sheets, folders, or paper clips, please!). Always title your work. Always provide a word count. Always keep a copy of everything you turn in. Deadlines are designed to be honored. All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day specified. No late work will be accepted unless (1) you have made arrangements with me in advance, or (2) you provide written verification that circumstances completely beyond your control prevented your getting the work in on time. Newsletter or Writing Life assignments that miss any deadlines will not be published and will receive zeros in my grade book. Grading: Your written work will be evaluated according to the following criteria: 1. Intellectual content: how effectively you complete the assignment; the quality and originality of your ideas. 2. Language and style: how effectively and appropriately you choose your words (diction) and construct your sentences (syntax). 3. Structure: how effectively and appropriately you organize and develop your ideas. 4. Mechanics: grammar, punctuation, syntax, usage, and spelling. Please Note: All written work must demonstrate competency in the grammatical, syntactical, and mechanical forms and conventions of standard English in order to receive a passing grade. In this course, a grammatically, syntactically, and mechanically competent piece of writing is one that contains no more than two errors that impede clear transmission of meaning and does not repeat an error marked on a previous assignment. Your class participation will be assessed a follows: A = Regular, helpful questions and comments; fully engaged B = Occasional, pertinent questions and responses; good listening C = Infrequent, tangential questions or comments; attentiveness questionable D = Rare interaction; disengaged from discussion; not prepared for class F = Absent, physically or mentally Your final grade will be determined as follows: Classwork and Participation 20% (includes reading and marking of drafts) Production Team Assignments 15% Written Assignments 65% There is no such thing as 揺xtra credit.� The Department of English reaffirms its commitment to the differential grading scale as defined in the official 无忧短视频 Catalog (揟he Grading System�). Grades issued must represent a full range of student performance: A=excellent; B=above average; C=average; D= below average; F = failure. Courses graded according to the A,B,C,NoCredit system shall follow the same pattern, except that NC, for NoCredit, shall replace D or F. In A,B,C,NoCredit courses NC shall also substitute for W (for Withdrawl) because neither NC nor W affects students� grade point averages. In English Department courses, instructors will 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 Schedule Note: This schedule is subject to change; any changes will be announced at least one class meeting in advance.
