Elbow, Peter, and Pat Belanoff. The purpose of this course is for students to uncover a writing process suitable for them which they may cultivate through both their academic years and beyond graduation. English 101 accomplishes this as a learning centered course in which classroom discussion, teacher lectures, and responses to your writing are complemented with peer group writing workshops and revised writing. Consequently, we will read, and reread, essays and short stories from a variety of writers and, through engaged class discussions, weave and integrate the significance of the published texts into our current writing efforts. Strong writing results from hard work with steady effort maintained over a period of time.
Writing is a means of discovery of self and world.
You must turn in all drafts in order to both bring your text through its evolution as an essay you are satisfied with and to obtain a passing grade and credit for this course. Late papers and drafts exact a penalty. Students must type all work upon a word processor double-spaced in size 12 font, New Times Roman or Arial script, default margins. Indent quotations exceeding four lines using the tab key. Please insert page numbers and include your name beneath or adjacent to the title on the first page.
