課程概述

本課程帶領學生執行研究計畫、撰寫研究論文,藉此輔助學生強化英文寫作技巧,並培養原創思考及邏輯分析、批判論辯能力。第一學期將透過共同閱讀一本小說及相關文學批評,藉由不同作業演練研究論文的各項步驟;第二學期則讓學生自由選擇題目,完成一篇研究論文。高段班英文寫作同時也在訓練嚴謹的思辨方法;所謂的「研究能力」將不僅適用於學術世界,亦可廣泛應用於各專業領域。

本課程以英語授課。

*注意*
本學年課程份量較上學年減輕許多,結構亦有更動。各週上課內容是個複雜的表格,無法在此呈現。完整課綱將於第一週課堂上提供。有意加選者,請務必出席第一堂課。 

課程目標
This yearlong course aims to make you an independent thinker and a sophisticated writer of English by helping you develop abilities to conduct research and write research papers. In the Fall semester, we focus on the methods of identifying an important topic, formulating a strong thesis, finding useful resources, and evaluating research material effectively, as well as general writing and reasoning techniques. In Spring, we will take everything a step further and help you enhance your competence in writing professionally. The course is designed with the conviction that learning to write research papers can be instrumental in honing one’s critical and creative thinking skills, something that will prove invaluable in pretty much every professional field, including but not limited to the academic world.

Class activities this semester will include the following:

1) Research Issue Sessions: review of research issues through reading and discussion of textbook sections or sample articles.

2) Reading Sessions: discussion of the novel and secondary material.

3) Writing Workshops: hands-on exercises on important writing principles.

4) Critical Thinking Sessions: review of common logical fallacies.

5) Peer Editing: editing of fellow students’ work.

6) Individual Sessions: mandatory individual meetings with the instructor to discuss your writing. 
課程要求
1) Prepare in advance, come to class, and participate. If there is required reading assigned for the week, prior preparation is required. Active participation in class is expected, too. Two absences may be allowed without penalty each semester.

2) Submit clean work. All the writing assignments must be word-processed following this format: A4-sized paper; 1-inch margins on all sides; double-spaced; 12-point Times New Roman font. Use the serial number this syllabus uses (A1, A2, etc.) in each assignment you submit. Unless instructed otherwise, turn in the assignment in hard copy form in class. When instructed specifically, submit your work on Ceiba, in the “作業區.”

3) Do not procrastinate. Assignments to be submitted in hard copy are due in class; those to be submitted online are due by 9:00 a.m. of the due day. Late submission will suffer a deduction of four points per day (on a 100-point scale).

4) Work as a team. Peer editing is an integral part of the course. Each student will get a chance to have his/her work discussed in class. When you are informed that you will be the “spotlight person” of the week, be sure to email the assignment to the instructor at least twelve hours prior to class. During peer editing sessions, give constructive suggestions and be respectful of one another.

5) Be responsible. If you miss a class, you are responsible for obtaining the material given out in class from your classmates (not from the instructor). Also make sure that you have someone turn in your assignment for you if you do not want it to be counted late.

6) Plagiarism or receiving outside help (the instructor aside) on the writing assignments will not be tolerated.
