Course Description English 1B is the second course in a two-semester, lower-division composition sequence. It fulfills the written communication 1B requirement of the university's core GE and is intended to increase your ability to write, as well as to read and to think, critically. Please note: English 1A is a prerequisite to this course. The Workload Formal written work There will be six essays (3 in-class and 3 out-of-class), including a formal research paper. Out-of-class essays MUST be typed and double-spaced and MUST conform to MLA formatting. Further instruction for each essay will be given well in advance of the due date. Students must complete all essays and the final to receive credit for the course. You will be required to submit all out-of-class essays to Turnitin.com (further instruction TBA) Assigned readings Readings and the ensuing class discussions are integral parts of this course. Please give yourself enough time to complete the assigned reading, marking the texts where necessary, and come to class prepared to participate in discussion by adding your thoughts and comments. You will be expected to contribute to a thorough exploration of the ideas and issues examined. Readings are subject to change as needed to meet the needs of the class, but you will be informed of any changes at least one class day in advance. Discussion Group Leading You will be required to participate in discussion groups, which will be assigned to you at the beginning of the semester. These groups are designed to help facilitate a comfortable environment for discussion one where you all feel good about offering up your ideas to the class. Your group will be required to lead discussion on the selection of readings assigned for a specific day. Further instruction will be announced. Participation Participation is active: coming to class having read the assigned readings, being prepared, and contributing to class discussion is crucial to the success of this course. We will have a number of unannounced quizzes, informal writings, and grammar reviews during class that cannot be made up. If you have to miss a class, let me know in advance so other arrangements can be made. We will be having a mandatory library research day. You will also be required to attend a conference with me (further instruction and penalties for missed conference TBA). Final exam There is a departmental final exam for all English 1B students on Saturday May 12 at 10:00 A.M. Make arrangements now this is a mandatory exam!

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 / No Credit System will follow the same pattern, except that NC (No Credit) will substitute D or F. In A, B, C / No Credit courses, NC shall substitute W (Withdrawal) because neither NC nor W affect the students grade point average. 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. Note: Individual essays will be graded on an A-F scale. A C- is not a passing grade in the class and therefore, no C- grades will be given. The A essay will be well organized and well developed, demonstrating a clear understanding and fulfillment of the assignment. It will show the students ability to use language effectively and to construct sentences distinguished by syntactic complexity and variety. Such essays will be essentially free from grammatical, mechanical, and usage errors. The B essay will demonstrate competence in the same categories as the A essay. The chief difference is that the B essay will show some slight weaknesses in one of those categories. It may slight one of the assigned tasks, show less facility of expression, or contain some minor grammatical, mechanical, or usage flaws. The C essay will complete all tasks set by the assignment, but show weaknesses in fundamentals, usually development, with barely enough specific information to illustrate the experience or support generalizations. The sentence construction may be less mature, and the use of language less effective and correct than the B essay. The D essay will neglect one of the assigned tasks and be noticeably superficial in its treatment of the assignmentthat is, too simplistic or too short. The essay may reveal some problems in development, with insufficient specific information to illustrate the experience or support generalizations. It will contain grammatical, mechanical, and/or usage errors that are serious and/or frequent enough to interfere substantially with the writers ability to communicate. The F essay will demonstrate a striking underdevelopment of ideas and insufficient or unfocused organization. It will contain serious grammatical, mechanical, and usage errors that render some sentences incomprehensible. Late policies, make-ups, and revisions Out-of-class essays will be graded down one full letter grade for each day late and will not be accepted after 5 calendar days. Late essays must be time-stamped by the English dept. and placed in my box: please do not leave them in my office or slip them under the door as they get misplaced In-class essays can be made up ONLY if arrangements are made with me well in advance of the scheduled date and ONLY for extenuating circumstances. Missing an in-class essay will result in a no credit no exceptions! Because this class is A, B, C / No credit, out-of-class essays receiving a failing grade (D or F) can be significantly revised to receive a maximum grade of C. This means they must be clear and coherent and without a single spelling or grammatical error. As a rule, such a revised and edited paper will far exceed a C in quality. Revisions must be turned in no later than one week after the paper was returned: papers WILL NOT be accepted for revision after one week. Essays receiving a D or F due to a late penalty or any other penalty are not eligible for revision. In class essays may not be revised or retaken. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the misrepresentation of anothers work as ones own whether the original work is published or not and is a SERIOUS offense. When borrowing either the direct words or the ideas of another, the source must be cited and the author given full credit. Neglecting to do so will result in a failing grade and will be reported to the proper university authorities.
