Course Description
This is a university-parallel
freshman English course that has two
primary purposes. One is to develop
writing and reasoning skills
by examining and discussing them
through expository writing. The
other is to broaden the student's
cultural perspective by reading and
discussing multi-cultural topics
with should result in increasing
knowledge of and appreciation
for cultural diversity. The primary
goal of the course is for the
student to sharpen his/her writing skills.
By the end of the course, the
student should be able to write well-
focused compositions in Standard
Written English and to write an
acceptable research paper,
following the principles of correct
research and documentation
strategies.
Writing Assignment Policy
Compositions: minimum of five;
one of which will be presented
orally,
as well; all papers written away from
class must
be typed double-spaced, using plain
white 8
1/2 x ll" white paper. All in-class writ-
ten
assignments (paragraphs and short essays)
must be
written on every other line, using loose-
leaf
notebook paper. Compositions should average
2--3
pages in length. Your name, the date, and
assignment type (eg) Comp.#1 or
Paragraph #2)
must
appear in the upper right-hand corner of the
paper.
Research Paper: this is a
required paper which will be built on the
writing
and reasoning strategies practiced and
learned
from preceding composition assignments.
This
assignment will be explained step by step,
complete with selected topics and deadline re-
quirements for the paper and its components;
the
paper constitutes 35% of your grade; it must
be
done according to the specific given
guidelines.
NO LATE PAPERS WILL BE
ACCEPTED !!!
Quizzes and in-class
assignments/exercises will be based on read-
ings and lectures;these
assignments will not always be announced
in advance; they may not be
made up,if missed.
Late
papers will not be accepted. A late assignment is any assignment handed in
after its due date. In the case of a doctor's excuse, an extreme family
emergency, or a court appearance ( all with documentation), the student may be
given an alternate assignment at my discretion. Other emergencies will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. Of
the mi
nimum
five compositions, the student may revise any two that receive the word REWRITE
stamped on it. The REWRITE stamp
indication means that the paper's letter grade would have been a D or F. I will
confer with the student
about
the need for revision, and, if the student opts to revise the paper, the
revision, along with the original, must be submitted the next class session;
otherwise, the designated grade of D or F will be given.
Since
the research paper is required, the student will fail the course if the paper
is not submitted when due and according to the specific given guidelines.
Attendance
- It is very important that the student
attend each of the weekly class sessions.
This is vital to the student's success in the course; you will miss the
in-class assignments which cannot be made up.
Roll will be taken
ONCE
for each class. Excessive tardiness
will lower your grade. You are expected
to remain throughout the duration of the class sessions. If you miss one fourth
of our classes, you will fail the course. You are responsible for all homework,
whether you are in class the day it is assigned or not. It is strongly
suggested that you get the phone number of a classmate to find out what's due
if you must be absent. Do not expect me to go over everything that you missed
for a three-hour class. Attendance is
your responsibility.
Grades:
Final grades for the course will be
determined by the following formula:
Paragraphs 15%
Compositions 35%
Research Paper 35%
Quizzes and exercises 15%
Disruptive Behavior: Any behavior that interferes with learning
in the classroom will not be tolerated. This includes late arrivals that
interrupts the on-going lessons. See Student handbook .
Plagiarism
You, the student, are expected to make
a totally honest effort to succeed in class. Plagiarism is the dishonest
presentation of another's words or ideas as thought they are your own. This
will be cause for failure of the course.
Statement: You, the student, are expected to take notes
on class lectures, pay attention in class, totally respect both the teacher and
other class members, and to ask questions on anything that you do not
understand. I, as the instructor, fully intend to help facilitate your success
in this class.

English 101 Notes on
Shaping an Effective Argument
from Reasoning and Writing Well
by Betty Dietsch
- the
general purpose of any argument is to persuade readers or listeners to accept a
belief, adopt a policy, or enact a decision, proposal, or law; an argument
urges change and often includes a call for action.
- many,
many years ago thr Greek the, Aristotle, defined three kinds of appeals that
make up an argument: logos
(logic), ethos (ethics), pathos (emotion).
- a logical appeal is based on facts and
workable theories; a logical argument
appeals to the mind, using evidence, reasons, and examples to support a claim
or proposition.
- an
ethical appeal is designed to strike a responsive chord in the minds of the
readers or listeners, encouraging them to do what is right, good, fair, and
best. Ethics can be broadly defined as a set of moral values ---principles of
conduct for an individual, group, or society.
- an
emotional appeal should be used in moderation; these stir up feelings of the
reader or listener
The
three appeals can be identified by the types of questions they raise:
-
logical appeal: Is the claim factual and reasonable? True or false? Practical
or impractical?
ethical
appeal : Is it fair or unfair? Honest or dishonest? Good or bad?
-
emotional appeal: Do the words arouse feelings of empathy, sympathy, or
antagonism? Do they make the reader or listener care about the subject?
In an
effective argument, all three appeals are intertwined.
Continuation
of notes on Shaping an Effective Argument
by Betty Dietsch
- the
structure of a logical argument consists of four basic parts:
. Making a claim (stating the purpose);
the claim or purpose should be made directly
- Anticipating objections from readers/ listeners; knowing the main points of the
opponents helps a writer/speaker to
answer objections effectively
- Countering objections by supporting
the claim with solid evidence; a
writer/speaker supports a claim with
facts and explains, using statistics, reasons,
examples, or other evidence.
- Submitting a conclusion derived from
the evidence and the writer/speaker's
personal (biased) opinions
_______________________________________________________________________
Writing Exercise
for each of the following situations: write
a thesis statement in ONE EFFECTIVE SENTENCE
- then give THREE SUPPORTING POINTS
- then give THREE OPPOSING POINTS
THE POINTS SHOULD BE BASED ON YOUR OWN
KNOWLEDGE OF FACTS AND YOUR OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS
SAMPLE
SITUATIONS:
#1

appointmen t without canceling, a minimum of $25 is added to the bill. A woman

#2 Bad
