課程概述 |
*This course is taught in Chinese.
This course aims to equip graduate students with knowledge and skills necessary for writing English essays. To this end, this course starts with essential components that lay the foundation for developing paragraphs, then moves towards the smooth transition from paragraphs to essays, and culminates in developing essays of five types. In addition to paragraph and essay development, the course pays especial attention to grammatical functions. In-class writing exercises, post-class writing and reading tasks, and take-home assignments, along with lectures and discussions, will be given to students to strengthen their understanding of the course content. Classroom activity is designed to facilitate both individual and collaborative learning of students. |

課程要求 |
1. Students should attend all classes (physical and online).
• Leave of absence should be required via email.
• Each unexcused leave of absence takes away 2 GPA points.
• Each late arrival takes away 1 GPA point.
• Students should turn on the camera if synchronous online classes are to be given.
2. Students should actively participate in classroom activity.
• Participation includes coming to class fully prepared, paying full attention to lectures, discussing with teammates and giving feedback to one another, collaborating with
teammates to complete learning tasks, completing assigned reading and writing tasks, asking questions to clear confusion of whatsoever, and answering questions given by
the course instructor to enhance student-teacher interaction.
3. Students should complete take-home and in-class writing assignments that are carefully scheduled as stages towards the fulfillment of the course aim.
• There are three take-home assignments.
– A1 is an individual assignment that requires students to write a paragraph of 150-200 words.
– A2 is a team assignment that requires students to give a presentation and write a cause/effect essay of 600-800 words.
– A3 is a team assignment that requires students to give a presentation and write an argumentative essay of 800-1000 words.
• There are three in-class team writing tasks.
– Task 1 requires students to write a comparison/contrast essay of 400-500 words.
– Task 2 requires students to write a process essay of 400-500 words.
– Task 3 requires students to write a classification essay of 400-500 words.
• Assignments should be submitted on time.
• Late assignments receive a B- (1 week late) or a zero (2+ weeks late).
• Receiving a zero on any of the take-home assignments guarantees course failure.
• Failing to fulfill assignment requirements automatically reduces one’s grade to a lower letter, e.g. A- --> B+.
4. Students should take weekly tests and the final exam.
• Students should make time for the final exam, a joint exam that traditionally takes place on the Wednesday evening in the final week (18:30-20:10, 21/12/2022).
• Students who do not take the final exam will be failed.
• If students cannot take tests as scheduled, make-up tests are available and there will be a 20% reduction in the score.
