COURSE DESCRIPTION: Standard English Writing skills. There is an emphasis on expository and analytical writing. Students
will develop skills in textual analysis and written expression. Prerequisite: Appropriate Asset Test score or completion of
English 071 with a minimum grade of "C."
GRADES: You will be evaluated on the following:
***NOTE*** All writings
are due on a deadline. The beginning of class the date listed on the schedule is the deadline. If the essay is not on my desk
when class begins, it is late--this means not even 5 minutes late-- and will be docked 25%. Exceptions allowed at the instructor's
discretion.
ATTENDANCE: You are expected to be in class every meeting. You will not be allowed to make up any work
unless you have an "excused" absence (see Student Handbook). Other absences must be discussed with me BEFORE the class
(or the portion of the class) you will miss, if possible, and the absence will be allowed at the discretion of the instructor.
Tardiness is rude; however, it is better to come in late than to not come at all. After one "unexcused" absences, you
will be dropped.
WRITINGS: The Maricopa College District requires ENG 101 students to write a minimum of 4 essays. The
final copy will need to be typed/word processed. The drafts will be written on a deadline and peer edited in class by other
students. There will also be in-class writings. The writings will be collected into a portfolio in which you will place the
essays you choose to have graded (see the link for portfolio information).
READING JOURNAL: This is a collection
of your responses to something you have read. These are graded on content only--not for the grammar "stuff." You
will write 15 by the end of the semester in the spiral notebook (look for a link for more information about this assignment).
OTHER: Other in- and out-of-class homework assignments, quizzes and writings will compose the remainder of the grade
for the semester.
