Composition I

English 100 is an introduction to writing in the university, and we will be studying different modes of writing through the lens of community and place.

REQUIREMENTS
• Be prepared for each class discussion by doing assigned reading/writing in advance.
• Submit all assignments on time.
• Contribute to class and group discussions, both in class and online.
• Check the course website regularly to receive class announcements and updates.
• Think critically. Be curious.

READINGS
There is no required textbook for this class. Readings will be provided digitally, and it will be your responsibility to either print these or have a method of annotating them digitally. All readings must be brought to class on the day they will be discussed.

PAPERS
There will be four major papers, each between 2-6 pages long. All papers will be accompanied by a short meta-commentary reflection.

GRADING POLICY
Final grades will be 60% from major papers (including drafts, meta-commentary, and peer reviews). The remainder of the grade (30%) will be from attendance/participation, short writing responses, and an in-class presentation.
