課程概述 |
*This course is conducted in Chinese.
*This course is open only to CLS students.
*No auditing is allowed.
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 has lessons on grammatical functionality. 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. |

1: Producing well-organized paragraphs and essays

課程要求 |
1. Students should attend all classes.
• Leaves of absence should be required via email.
• 3 unexcused leaves of absence guarantee course failure.
Unexcused leave of absence = Leave not required by 18:00 on the course day
• Each late arrival takes away 1 point from the semester average grade.
Late arrival = Not being seated before the 1st period begins
2. 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 3 take-home assignments (HAs).
HA1 is an individual assignment that requires students to produce an independent paragraph of 150-200 words.
HA2 is a team assignment that requires students to produce a comparison/contrast essay of 600-800 words, along with a presentation.
HA3 is a team assignment that requires students to produce an argumentative essay of 800-1000 words, along with a presentation.
• There are 3 in-class team writing assignments (CAs).
CA1 requires students to produce a cause/effect essay of 400-500 words.
CA2 requires students to produce a process essay of 400-500 words.
CA3 requires students to produce a classification essay of 400-500 words.
• Assignments should be handed in on time.
• Late HAs receive a B- (1 week late) or a zero (2+ weeks late).
Late = Not handing in a hard copy before the end of class on the due date
• Receiving a zero on the individual assignment (HA1) guarantees course failure.
• Failing to fulfill assignment formatting requirements automatically reduces one’s grade to a lower letter, e.g., A- B+.
3. Students should take tests.
• There are 3 tests.
10 vocabulary tests
2 grammar tests
The final test
¥ Students should make time for the final test, a joint exam that traditionally takes place on the Wednesday evening in the 16th week (18:30-20:10, 12/18/2024).
¥ Students who do not take the final exam will be failed.
• If students cannot take any of the tests as scheduled, a make-up test is available and there will be a 20% reduction in the score.
4. Students should actively participate in class, which includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Reading the weekly course reminder
• Paying full attention to in-class activity
• Completing assigned reading and writing tasks
• Collaborating with teammates to complete learning tasks
• Asking questions or volunteering answers to gain a better understanding of course content
• Reflecting on assignment feedback and seeking opportunities for self-improvement
