Composition and Rhetoric: University Literacy
® Work in Progress, pp. 5-14, contains class policies and procedures ¬
Texts: To be brought to all class meetings:
Brady, Laura, Margaret Brown Racin, and Kathleen J. Ryan. Work in Progress: English 101 at West Virginia University. Acton, MA: Tapestry P, 2001-2002.
Brunk, Terence, Suzanne Diamond, Priscilla Perkins, and Ken Smith, eds. Literacies: Reading, Writing, Interpretation. Second Edition. New York: Norton, 2000.
Your own working portfolio. I strongly suggest that you purchase a three-ring binder for this project. This will allow you to remove and add material easily through the course of the semester whlie retaining some semblance of order.
Writer's Notebook (WN)
This project will continue throughout the semester and be due about once a week. I will provide some focus as we go along, but, it will be your reflections on those topics. I do require that it be typed. These should be kept in a three-ring binder along with your portfolio.
Useful and Suggested texts:
A collegiate dictionary (and/or a pocket version)
MLA Style Handbook
A formal grammar book (e.g., by Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich)
Plagiarism: Plagiarism and academic dishonesty--that is, taking someone else's words or ideas--will not be tolerated. If you have a question, it's probably plagiarism. ALWAYS CITE YOUR SOURCE
Absences: The basic policy is found in Connections. For each additional absence beyond three, you will drop your FINAL grade half a letter grade (e.g., a B will become a B-) until you reach a total of six absences, which will result in failure.
Tardiness: This is a workshop class; late arrivals disturb the class and throw you off course for the day. If you arrive after attendance is taken, you will be marked absent for the day. However, I will encourage you to stay. This may seem contradictory, but you will miss more if you simply skip class.
