Writing for Others
This class intends to help you strengthen your composition skills for academic, professional, and personal purposes. The course will have three main focuses: 1) language's role in constructing the world, 2) audience awareness, and 3) classical rhetoric. These are some of the most important things for writers to be aware of, and while most good writers internalize these components of composition we will consciously analyze, discuss, and use them to achieve our four official Course Goals: 1) Know the Context, 2) Think Critically, 3) Learn Processes for Writing, Revision, and Reflection, and 4) Know the Rules. These goals are explained in WiP pages xvi-xvii, and we will discuss them extensively in class.
Required Texts and Materials: 1. Work in Progress. 5th Custom ed. Plymouth, MI: Hayden-McNeil, 2012. Print.
2. Easy Writer. 4th Custom ed. Boston; Bedford/St. Martin's, 2010. Print.
3. One Pocket Folder and One Notebook (1 Subject Spiral Notebook recommended)4. USB/Jump Drive, 1 GB or larger recommended Informal Writing Projects:Multi-Angle Personal Narrative (MAP Narrative)Featured Article (FA)Midterm Portfolio and ReflectionText Analysis Project (TA)Stakeholder Research Project Blog (SRP)Revision, Final Portfolio, and Reflection eCampus:
All projects and most informal writings will be turned in digitally on eCampus. Under the
Assignments section of our eCampus page will be spaces for each assignment. You will compose
in a word processor and upload files to eCampus—we will discuss how to do this in class. All
files should be saved as a .doc file; these are the standard files which almost all word processing
software can open, and so they should be your standard file types for all academic work.
Assignments must be uploaded by the beginning of the class they are due.
Participation:Discussion based classes provide the best experience for students and thinkers. Therefore this course should consist largely of discussions and workshops. Active participation counts for a "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." –Mark Twain percentage of your grade. Nobody wants me to talk the whole class; it will be boring for you, tedious for me, and won't allow you to share your points of view about our subjects.
Absences or Tardiness:
Daily attendance is expected. Students are allowed to miss up to two classes per semester
without penalty. A third and fourth absence will result in the loss of one letter grade each, and a
fifth absence will result in a failing grade for this class. If you are absent it is your responsibility
to contact me either in advance (such as for religious holidays or University sponsored events) or
as soon as possible to make up any missed work.
Not attending or not signing up for a mandatory conference counts as an absence from class.
Late Work:eCampus will record whether your work is on time. If an assignment is uploaded after the due time (i.e., the beginning of class) it will receive only half credit. You only have three days after the original due date to turn in late work, after that you get no credit for the assignment.
Electronic Devices:
Please silence or turn off all cell phones, pagers, PDAs, iPods, MP3 players, etc. No texting in
class. We will use the computers in the lab (Percival 315); please use them appropriately. Also
there is no food or drink in the computer lab.
I will always reply saying that I've received an e-mail, so if you don't hear back from me by the
next afternoon I didn't receive your message and it's your responsibility to resend it.
Office Hours:Office hours are meant to help you out. I have three office hours per week, but we can sometimes schedule appointments outside that time. I can help with brainstorming, starting an assignment, answering questions about a text, my feedback on your work, or any other questions you have for me. My office hours are Wednesdays from 2-5 in Colson Hall G07 (Downtown Campus).
The Writing Center:
The WVU Writing Center is a helpful free resource for students. The tutors at the Writing Center
can provide valuable advice for anyone struggling with an assignment or who just wants a
second opinion. You can contact the Writing Center by calling (304) 293-5788 to schedule an
appointment, or going to Colson Hall G02. I highly recommend you make use of this service.
Academic Integrity, Intellectual Property Theft:
Intellectual property theft, generally known as plagiarism, is unacceptable. Any idea,
paraphrase, or text taken from a source must be properly cited. If you are not sure if something
needs to be cited, cite it. Information about WVU's Academic Integrity policy can be found at:
. Any student
caught plagiarizing will incur disciplinary action in accordance with University policy.
Please Note:West Virginia University is committed to social justice, and I share that commitment. We will maintain a positive learning environment based upon open communication, mutual respect, and non-discrimination. Our university does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, veteran status, religion, sexual orientation, color, or national origin. Any suggestions as to how to further such a positive and open environment in this class will be appreciated and given serious consideration.
If you are a person with a disability and anticipate needing any type of accommodation in order to participate in this class, please advise me and make appropriate arrangements with the Office of Disability Services, (304) 293-6700.
