課程概述 |
This course is designed to help you develop and sharpen the writing skills necessary to become a successful academic English writer, with a particular focus on vocabulary and sentence structure/grammar enhancement. In order to achieve competence with the use of English and fluency with written English, you will be guided step-by-step to improve your ways of thinking and writing clear and concise sentences and paragraphs into a unified, well-organized essay. You will also familiarize with a number of writing techniques and styles that would polish your writing. The course will include various rhetorical modes (process, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, argumentative) to prepare you for future academic writing. |
|
課程目標 |
The course aims to raise your awareness and develop skills and deeper understanding of aspects of academic writing, sentence-structural variety and rhetorical modes. It is hoped that you will be motivated to write essays on a range of topics and be able to achieve clarity and correctness in writing. |

課程要求 |
1. This course offers training in the fundamental techniques in academic writing. Particular emphasis is given to the procedures adopted in writing a well-organized paper, the presentation of an oral report and the different rhetorical modes of writing. Students will be required to read and analyze their own writings and to synthesize and document sources. They will demonstrate their competence through a range of writing assignments. Each assignment will be discussed in greater detail in class meetings as well as in the assigned readings.
2. Class time will be divided into lectures, discussions and a variety of writing exercises, and you will be expected to have the reading assignments done before class. None of writing purposes can be accomplished if you are unfamiliar with the texts.
3. Attendance and Participation Policy: Because the skills taught in English composition are cumulative, regular attendance is necessary. In addition, participation is also crucial to this class format. Please be prepared for each class by completing all assigned readings. Regular class attendance and class participation, such as answering questions in class, participating in class discussions, or showing improvement on composition can have a positive effect on your overall semester grade. On the other hand, frequent absences, tardiness, or inattentiveness in class can have a detrimental effect on your final grade. Family emergencies and illnesses will come up and I will take these situations into consideration. Please come to me and explain such reasons. When you miss class, you are responsible for gaining the lecture notes from classmates and finishing any assignments given during the absence.
4. Assignments: All assignments are due on the date specified on the syllabus. All essays must be typed, double spaced, at least 12 point readable font, and fully proofread; include a title, your name, the date and numbered pages that are either stapled or paper-clipped together. Also, given that you are responsible for keeping a complete folder of your work, make sure to save your papers on a back-up disk and to maintain a hard copy of every piece of writing you hand in to me.
5. Disruptive behavior, sleeping in class, reading the newspaper or other materials not related to class, or doing work for another class will not be tolerated during class time.
6. A Note on Cell Phones: When we meet as a class, no one in class, especially your instructor, wants to be interrupted by your personal life. If you must carry this kind of device, you need to be sure that it is on vibration.
7. Formative and summative assessments based on formal as well as informal in-class activities and exams will be conducted throughout the semester.
*Academic Honesty: As you are part of the University community, it is your responsibility to act with integrity when it comes to self-conduct and course work. All work done for this class is to be your own. If you consult an outside source or refer to or use another person’s work, you must acknowledge it and give credit where due. Failure to do so is plagiarism. Plagiarism is “the use of someone else’s words or ideas as your own without crediting the other person” (Lunsford, Andrea and Connors, Robert. The New St. Martin’s Handbook. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's, 1999: 494). Please be sure that you must cite the sources of any ideas that are not your own. To avoid plagiarism, you can document your papers using the MLA/APA/CMS citation formats. We will cover these formats in class. |
