Over the course of the semester, students will complete three units, each of which will result in a short essay. The course is designed to guide students through the writing process, from outlining to the completion of a first draft, and from revising and editing to the completion of a final draft. Each unit will stress a particular writing skill: comparing and contrasting, arguing for an opinion, and identifying causes and effects.
Comparison-Contrast Essay Final Draft (1-2 pages): 25% Opinion Essay Final Draft (1-2 pages): 25% Cause-and-Effect Essay Final Draft (2-3 pages): 30% Essays will be graded on a letter scale. First Drafts and Outlines (1-3 pages): 10% First drafts and outlines will be graded pass-fail. Students who submit a completed assignment on time will receive full credit. Attendance and Participation (includes take-home activities): 10% The attendance-and-participation grade for weeks 17 and 18 (the flexible teaching weeks) will be determined by whether students submit the take-home activities on time (see the course schedule below for more information). Late assignments will be penalized. There will be no exams for this course.
