 * Course Description and Goals**

After completing ENC 1102, students should be able to: //Learning community// The emphasis in this class is on “learning community.” Through participating in a shared learning experience, we recognize the value of individuals learning within the larger group. Through this experience of community, we develop a greater sense of involvement with each other and develop skills in communication and group work, which are valuable not only in this class, but in the workplace as well.
 * Identify elements of literature: plot, point of view, character, setting, theme, style, figurative language.
 * Apply methods, concepts, skills of ENC 1101 to writing assignments about literature:
 * Determine the writer’s stance, audience, and purpose of the essay.
 * Limit the topic and narrowing the thesis statement.
 * Develop the thesis with concrete, specific support.
 * Develop paragraphs, including introductions and conclusions.
 * Use effective transitions and other coherence devices.
 * Document sources and avoiding plagiarism.
 * Analyze assigned literature by seeing patterns, organizing parts, and recognizing themes.
 * Compose written assignments that synthesize ideas found in the literature and/or conduct literary research with students’ own ideas. Document sources in MLA format.
 * Methods**

//Home Groups// The learning community model encourages participation and cooperative learning. In Week 2, you will meet your home group, the group of students with whom you will meet for in-class seminars and small group projects.

//Writing Process & Writing Workshops// You will complete writing projects in stages: (1) choosing a topic (2) generating ideas (3) organizing ideas (4) drafting and conferencing (5) revision and final draft. After the first few weeks of class, you will complete these stages at your own pace. I **expect** you to attend each writing workshop and to share your writing with the professor and your group members.

 * Policies & Procedures**

//Communication//

I **expect** you to arrive on time ready to discuss and write. **Study questions, book seminars, in-class writing, and exams cannot be made up**.

//Submitting assignments// //Late Assignments// //Withdrawing from a course// If you find it impossible to complete the class, you must formally withdraw. Although it is not necessary to have approval from you instructor to withdraw from the course, it is a good idea to discuss the situation with your instructor. However, if you decide to withdraw, the procedure for withdrawing from a course is: Go to your FalconNet Login from the Daytona State homepage or from the MyDaytonaState portal. Go to the Registration and Records menu. Go to Class Registration, and continue to the next page. Select the term in which you are registered. Select the class you want to withdraw from and select the Drop button.
 * I **expect** you to type ALL assignments
 * I **expect** you to submit ALL assignments in class. __Do not email assignments__.
 * **I will not accept late assignments for a grade for any reason.**

//Plagiarism & Academic Honesty// I **expect** you to abide by the Daytona State College Academic Honor Code found in the Student Handbook. This code requires that you maintain academic honesty in taking exams, participating in class, and completing all assignments. You will be expected to avoid plagiarism. Thus ALL writing must be original and composed by you, and you need to master the MLA documentation system to cite the source of all ideas that you use in your writing, whether, quoted, paraphrased or summarized. Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words or ideas as if they are your own and without giving proper credit. The Daytona State College Academic Honesty code prohibits plagiarism in any form. You may be asked to submit copies or links to all sources and/or submit your work to Turnitin.com. Plagiarism is a serious academic and professional offense. The consequences for plagiarism are failure on the assignment, failure in the course, and/or expulsion from Daytona State College, depending on the severity and frequency of the incident. Document all sources correctly using MLA format.

//ADA Accommodations// If you have a learning disability or special needs that require accommodations, please make an appointment to see me as soon as possible. I will do what I can to make every student’s experience in this class positive and successful. //Reading Assignments// I **expect** you to read all assigned chapters and bring your textbook to class. Complete the assigned readings by the date indicated on the schedule. You are responsible for the information in each unit including vocabulary and central concepts.
 * Course Requirements**

Read actively, taking notes and jotting down questions or anything unclear. Do not be afraid to raise a question in private email or class discussion. Other students may have the same questions.
 * A note about reading assignments:** In evaluating your homework and projects, I will assume you have read the chapters and you understand the importance of rhetorical choices like:
 * generating ideas
 * organizing those ideas to support a __thesis__ (a statement that demands proof or demonstration – the take away value or “so what” of your essay)
 * writing to an audience
 * synthesizing and documenting sources
 * drafting, revising, and editing to meet the conventions of genre and to achieve your purpose

//Study Questions// I **expect** you to complete a short set of **study questions** or **pre-writing activities** for most reading assignments. Your study questions are graded for completeness, depth, and correctness. I reward original, thoughtful, analytical answers. Your grammar and spelling count, but so do your ideas and your analysis of concrete, specific examples from the textbook. Use quotation marks as appropriate and MLA documentation for someone else’s words and ideas (See Chapter 5 and Appendix C). Study Questions pass or fail. **Incomplete or unacceptable responses will Fail**. You must pass at least 80% of study questions to pass the course.

//Book Seminars// Book seminars are round-table, student led discussions of our selections or of our own writing. **You may not participate in book seminars if you have not completed the study questions**. Some guidelines will make the seminars more fun: //Projects// //Final Exam// Timed, impromptu essay exam
