Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This is an introductory creative writing class. There are two parts:

1. The reading. In order to write good, you need to read good!
We will read and analyze (mostly) contemporary, bold, explosive writing in five categories: essays on craft, short stories, novels, poetry, and plays. These writers’ works will help you understand how to play with conventions to create truly original pieces.

2. The writing. In which, you guessed it, you write! And also listen. And also share. And also support. And also rewrite.
Throughout the semester you will complete writing exercises and tap into your creative voice. You will write 3 creative assignments and present 1 of them to the class. You will also provide verbal and written feedback to classmates throughout the semester, and participate in class discussions.

ENGL 3177: Theories and Practice of Composition
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

What does research by composition scholars teach us about the writing process? And how can we apply those findings to our own individual writing processes? In this class, we will work to dispel “bad ideas about writing”; learn about how genre, multilingualism, and digital media influence rhetoric; and put theory into practice by analyzing what we do when we write and revise.

We will be guided by the concept that writing is a social process. This course will therefore emphasize in-person class discussion, asynchronous social annotation, and peer review. By entering this class, you will become a fellow learner and writer and also a scholar of writing studies. As you get familiarized with major topics in writing studies, you will both enter those conversations and apply what you learn from the research to your own writing process. This will all come together in a final portfolio of your writing projects from the semester.

I am committed to fostering a learning environment that is safe, inclusive, and intellectually challenging for all students, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, disability, religion, or any other identity categories. As an educator, I aim to create a learning environment that respects and affirms the diversity of students’ experiences and perspectives.

Energy Policy

Rating
0.0 stars

Energy policy sits at the crossroads of science and policy. And now, energy and climate policy are inextricably linked; the policies we choose have very real consequences for our climate. This intersection of science and policy is chaotic and bustles with activity motivated by various competing (and conflicting) interests and factors. We must understand the motivations driving them and bridge the divides between our reliance on fossil fuels and our need to transition to less carbon-intensive and renewable alternatives. While the science and math behind these problems is often fairly straightforward, the politics and behavioral changes are not. Come stand at this busy intersection with us as we navigate toward progressive climate policy alternatives at all scales of governance!

This course promotes clear and effective communication by sharpening critical thinking and writing skills. The first unit is designed to change the way in which students think about writing--as a conversation rather than a solitary act. The second unit focuses on academic writing and explores the PWR-Writing or Power-Writing Method (PWR Pre-Write, Write, Revise). The remaining units will focus on the minutiae of good writing practices, from style to citation methodology. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: Demonstrate mastery of principles of grammar, usage, mechanics, and sentence structure. Identify the thesis in another individual's essay. Develop a thesis statement, structure it in an introductory paragraph, and support it with the body of the essay. Organize ideas logically within an essay, deploying adequate transitional devices to ensure coherence, flow, and focus. Differentiate between rhetorical strategies and write with an awareness of rhetorical technique and audience. Differentiate between tones and write with an awareness of how tone affects the audience's experience. Demonstrate critical and analytical thinking for reading and writing purposes. Quote, paraphrase, and document the work of others. Write sentences that vary in length and structure. (English 001)

Exploring Perspectives: A Concise Guide to Analysis
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

The reason why Randall Fallows wrote Exploring Perspectives: A Concise Guide to Analysis is simple; to help give students a better understanding of how to discover, develop, and revise an analytical essay. Here is how his 5 chapter book goes about doing just that:The first two chapters focus on the nature of an analysis and what’s involved in writing an analytical essay. First, Randall shows that analysis consists of a balance of assertions (statements which present their viewpoints or launch an exploration of their concerns), examples (specific passages/scenes/events which inspire these views), explanations (statements that reveal how the examples support the assertions), and significance (statements which reveal the importance of their study to personal and/or cultural issues).After showing why each feature should be present throughout an essay, he reveals how to ”set the stage“ for producing one of their own. He first helps students to evaluate their own views on a subject and to examine how these views emerge from their own experiences, values and judgments. He, then, shows them how to research what others have said about the subject and provides suggestions for evaluating and incorporating this research into their own perspectives.Finally, Randall discusses the nature of writing, not as a linear procedure, but as a recursive process where the discovery and clarification of a concept occur simultaneously.The remaining three chapters reveal more specific advice on how to develop an analytical essay.Exploring Perspectives: A Concise Guide to Analysis by Randall Fallows is a great text to prepare any student to write analytical essays for the argument and persuasion courses.
