Hybrid Course: As a hybrid course, this class is a combination of in-class and online work. You will be expected to attend class every Tuesday and turn in some assignments in person, and you are also expected to view information and complete assignments online at etudes.org. I highly recommend that you are computer literate if you choose to take the hybrid English 101 class. You will be required to go online regularly to view materials and complete assignments, and this will be very difficult to do if you are not computer literate. Course Description: English 101 is designed to further knowledge of the principles of composition and the nature of academic and intellectual discourse, including procedures of research and the methods of writing a college research paper. Students will refine their writing and reading skills in a variety of subjects and thematic perspectives by writing concise essays that focus on writing strategies such as reflection, exposition, evaluation, problem solving, and persuasion, and by reading, interpreting, and critically analyzing literature. In this course, students will develop skills to read effectively and critically with the goal of organizing information logically and posing arguments effectively. Student Learning Outcomes: Develop the ability to: 1. Read critically and write critical, thesis-based essays in a variety of rhetorical modes, including exemplification, comparison/contrast, analysis, definition, problem-solving, and argument; 2. Organize, develop, and revise original writing using appropriate tone and style;

3. Explicate texts, producing effective researched writing, incorporating outside sources with original writing, avoiding logical fallacies; 4. Explore multiple interpretations of, and approaches to, texts including explication, interpretation, causal analysis, comparison / contrast, synthesis, and evaluation; 5. Prepare a research paper using proper MLA documentation and format. Textbooks:

Note: To receive a passing grade in this course, students must turn in all coursework and pass the final exam.

In other words, students grade in this class is dependent on successful performance in all areas of the class (participation, attendance, lab work, writing, and reading), not just one area. All components must be successfully completed to receive a passing grade. *Last day to drop without a W: Monday, February 18, 2013 *Last day to drop with a W: Sunday, May 5, 2013 Assignments: Assignment Description Whats Expected of You! Reading assignments should be completed prior to the due date on the syllabus. Being prepared for class and earning full credit for participation includes keeping up with the reading assignments and coming to class prepared to discuss them. These should be typed and in MLA format and ready to turn in at the start of every class.

Reading You will have reading assignments to Assignments complete from Everyones an Author with Readings, The Gettin Place, and Hearts and Hands. Do your best to keep up because writing assignments will be based on these readings. They Say/ I Say Journals Your journals will consist of a summary of what you read (150 + words) and your thoughts and feelings about what you read (100+ words).

Online Discussions

Every week, there will be a class Every week you will do two things: discussion for you to participate in Respond to the questions I post about online. Go to Discussions and Private the videos in at least 200-300 words. Messages and click on Class Respond to at least one post from Discussions. Here you will see a your classmates. discussion posted every week. There will be a video (or videos) for you to watch and questions for you to answer about the videos. You will turn in 3 essays over the semester. The first two essays will be 500-750 words. These essays will be written at home and should be typed on a computer and in correct MLA format. Writing on a word processor improves writing skills. Because writing is a process of prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing, traditional methods of typing or handwriting assignments are often timeconsuming and ineffective. Certainly, they discourage revision. Computers, on the other hand, make revision and the writing process more manageable at every stage. There are computer labs in You must turn in all rough drafts, peer reviews, and prewriting, with your final draft on top. Your final draft should be thoroughly proofread. Peer Review: We will be peer reviewing rough drafts for Essays 1 and 2. In order to be eligible to be turned in for credit with the final version of the essay, the rough draft must be present in class on the day that it is due, and the author must participate in peer review. Failure to attend class or failure to thoroughly complete the peer review will result in the reduction of your essay grade by 10%.

Essays

several locations on campus, including in the Student Success Center in the BSS building and in the TEC Building.

Revisions: Essays 1 and 2 may be revised and resubmitted for re-evaluation. Revisions must be turned in within two weeks of when you receive the graded essay back. You will be required to work with others in the class on this project, so do your best to coordinate times to meet and work on this.

Project 3

Essay 3 will be a creative group project. You will have the option to choose from several creative writing formats, including creative non-fiction essays, stories, and a street play. We will talk more about this in class! Your final essay will be at least 1000 words and will be a persuasive paper that incorporates outside research and MLAstyle in-text citations and a Works Cited list. The topic will be the process of gentrification in Watts. You must turn in this paper on time to pass the class with a C or better. Failure to turn in this paper will result in an F in the course.

Essay 4

You must turn in this paper on time to pass the class with a C or better. Failure to turn in this paper will result in an F in the course. I will do everything I can to help prepare you for Essay 4. You can also receive help from the tutors in the English Writing Center, from our Supplemental Instruction Leader, and from the librarians in LASCs Library. The multimedia packet will include videos you find online, songs, and videos or songs that you create yourself (optional).

Multimedia Component

Part of Essay 4 will research in the form of a multimedia packet. You want to make sure that everything you include is relevant to the topic of gentrification in Watts. There will be a midterm in the form of an in-class essay. It will be based on the essay Why Colleges Shower Their Students with As in Everyones an Author (pages 935-938)

Midterm

Do your best to keep up with the readings and assignments so you are fully prepared to do well on the midterm. Also, read Why Colleges Shower Their Students with As very carefully and come prepared with notes on this essay. Prepare for this exam by attending class throughout the semester. The English Writing Center will also have workshops to help you prepare for the final.

Final Exam

The final exam is a common final given to all English 101 students. The topic is chosen by English faculty. If you do not take the final, you will not pass the class. The final is designed to test what you have learned throughout the semester, so the final is worth a large portion of your final grade.

English Writing Center (Lab): The English Writing Center (SSEC 116) is located in the Social Sciences and English Complex (SSEC) in Room 116. The EWC provides walk-in tutoring and appointments for tutoring. I highly recommend that you visit the Center for help! English Writing Center Hours: Monday-Wednesday: 9:30 am 2:00 pm Thursday: 9:30 am 7:30 pm Saturday: 9:30 am 1:00 pm Course Policies Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. Attend each on-site class and be on time. Students who regularly attend class on time do better in their studies. Students who fail to follow the attendance policy may be dropped from the class at the instructors discretion. Any student who arrives late to class risks being counted as absent; students leaving early must notify the instructor of their obligation at the beginning of the period. If there is a dispute over attendance, the attendance sheet will serve as proof of attendance. Excused Absences: There are no excused absences. Attendance is mandatory. Each student is allowed only 2 in-person absences (regardless of the reason), the Los Angeles Community College District limit. Upon a students 3rd absence, the student may be dropped from the class unless there are dire extenuating circumstances that can be documented. You are also responsible for attending the class online by logging in and completing the online work every week. A student may not miss more than one full week of required on-line activities during the semester; a student who misses two or more full weeks of required on-line activities is excluded from the hybrid section of English 101. Partial Absences: Any student who arrives late or leaves early will receive an L on the roster. A student who leaves class early or goes in and out of class excessively will receive a P for partial attendance for that class meeting. Two tardies or partial attendances will count as 1 absence. No student has the right to disrupt the learning environment for other students. Note that Peer Review Workshops and In-Class Essays may not be made up and constitute a significant portion of the final grade. Being Dropped from the Class: Upon the 3rd absence created by missed classes, tardiness, partial absences, or a combination, the student may be dropped from the class. Academic Integrity: While certain activities assigned may be specified as collaborative work, it is expected that the remainder of assignments are the original work of the student. Cheating of any kind (including plagiarism) will result in a 0 for that assignment and, at the instructors discretion, may result in an F for the course. Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone elses words or ideas as your own (for example, checking the internet for a little information on a subject and then using that information as if it were something you thought of). It also consists of cheating on quizzes or exams, or having someone else write your essays for you. Any student who presents anothers work as his or her own will fail this course and risk further action taken by L.A. Southwest College and the L.A. Community College District, including expulsion from the college. Failure to complete or cheating of any kind on the final paper or on the final exam will result in an F in the course regardless of semester average.

Reading Assignments: Reading assignments should be completed prior to the due date on the syllabus. Being prepared for class and earning full credit for participation includes keeping up with the reading assignments and coming to class prepared to discuss them. Take-Home Writing Assignments: All essays and other assignments written outside of the classroom must be typed on a computer. Research shows that writing on a word processor improves writing skills. Because writing is a process of prewriting, organizing, composing, revising, and editing, traditional methods of typing or handwriting assignments are often time-consuming and ineffective. Certainly, they discourage revision. The computer, on the other hand, makes revision and the writing process more manageable at every stage. If you do not have a computer at home, do not panic! There are computer labs in several locations on campus, most notably in the Student Success Center (SSEC 110) and the TEC Computer Lab. When you turn in an essay, you must turn in all prewriting, drafts, and peer reviews as well. Please staple your work together in the top left corner and include the following items in this order, top to bottom: final draft, rough draft with peer reviews, prewriting. It is very important that all items be turned in together, as one third of the points given for the essay assignment will be for the prewriting, rough draft, and peer review. Late Assignments: Late work will not be accepted without emergency documentation. Failure to turn in an assignment will result in a 0 for that assignment. Peer Review: We will be peer reviewing rough drafts for Essay 1 and 2. In order to be eligible to be turned in for credit with the final version of the essay, the rough draft must be present in class on the day that it is due and the author must participate in peer review. Failure to attend class or failure to thoroughly complete the peer review will result in the reduction of your essay grade by 10%. Revisions: Essays 1 and 2 may be revised and resubmitted for re-evaluation. Revisions must be turned in within two weeks of the date you receive your graded essay back. Resources: Student Success Center: LASC, like many other colleges, offers services and resources beyond the classroom and teachers to help students achieve academic goals. The SSC offers tutoring, a study lab, workshops, as well as a computer lab open 8am-8pm Monday through Thursday. English Writing Center Tutoring (SSEC 116): The English Writing Center also provides walk-in and by-appointment tutoring in writing for any student in any class, and offers numerous special workshops throughout the semester. For tutoring help, it is best to go into a tutoring session with specific problems in mind. Tutors do not edit but help revise. See hours of operation above. Grievances: Anyone who believes a college decision has adversely affected status, rights, and/or privilege as a student should consult the instructor for resolution, and, if needed, confer with the English Department Chair, Darren Cifarelli as a second level of authority if no resolution is found. Beyond that, the student can make an appointment with the Dean Stephanie Brasley if there is still no resolution. Dean Brasley may refer the grievance to the Dean of Student Services. Students with disabilities: Accommodations are provided to a student with a verified disability and are determined by the educational limitations the disability places on the student. Any one in need of assistance or accommodations should contact the instructor by the end of the first day of class. FYI- DSPS office (323) 241-5480.

I know that sometimes things happen that are beyond your control, so this semester you are allowed: ONE excused missed journal ONE excused missed online discussion * * * *
