English 200 builds on ENG100 to prepare students writing in the university and within their chosen disciplines. In this course, we will be studying different modes of writing through the lens of academic communities and disciplinary research.
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 assignments, each between 3-8 pages long. All papers will be accompanied by a meta-commentary reflection. Throughout the semester, each student will develop a portfolio, which will be submitted as a final project.
GRADING POLICY
Final grades will be 55% from major papers/assignments (including drafts, meta-commentary, and peer reviews). An additional 15% will be from the portfolio process. The remainder of the grade (30%) will be from attendance and short writing responses.
