COURSE CATALOG DESCRIPTION ENG 120 is a college-level writing course that introduces students to various forms of academic discourse. Students are required to prepare essays in a variety of rhetorical modes, including exposition, description and argumentation. In addition to out-of-class writing assignments, students will be required to compose in-class essays in response to readings and other prompts. ENG 120 introduces students to process-writing techniques, library research and MLA documentation procedures. The primary focus of ENG 120 is to help students acquire the writing skills they need to succeed in an academic environment. Enrollment is kept intentionally small, typically 15 students per section, to assure maximum benefit. REQUIRED TEXTS & WEBSITES:

COURSE LEARNER OUTCOMES By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Produce writing whose form, organization, syntax, diction, style, and tone are appropriate for a given audience, subject, and purpose. (Communication)

• Read critically with an eye toward identifying main ideas, supporting evidence, and conclusions so that they can utilize these components in their own writing. (Communication)

document them correctly using MLA style. (Communication) • Write captivating introductions, coherent theses, well developed, organized, and supported text, and

conclusions that lead the reader to the bigger picture. (Critical and Creative Thinking • Demonstrate personal and collaborative editing skills developed through workshops and peer

feedback. (Collaborative) • Write grammatically correct sentences demonstrating control over punctuation, syntax, and word

choice. CRITICAL TASK: Research paper with evidence of peer response CLASS REQUIREMENTS:

All of the following requirements must be fulfilled in order to pass this course. If you have any questions, you need to contact me as soon as possible. Please do not wait until the end of the semester to address any issues or concerns.

✦ Please meet with me during the semester to discuss your work. Office hours are listed on the top of this syllabus and on my office door; however, you are welcome to stop in at any time. I am also willing to communicate via e-mail, Skype, and phone.

Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Physical and Natural World Critical and Creative Thinking (X) Communication (X) Collaboration (X) Personal and Social Responsibility Integration, Application, and Reflection


✦ You are allowed THREE excused and/or unexcused absences. This means all absences (whether sickness, sports, personal down time, sleeping in late, etc.) count towards the total of 3. Tardiness after I call roll is counted as late, and 4 "lates" counts as an absence.

✦ Every absence beyond 3 will result in a one-third grade deduction off your final

grade. For example, if you earned a B for the class, one additional absence will reduce it to a B-. Two additional absences will reduce it to a C+ and so on. If you miss six (6) or more classes, you will fail the course, and I would recommend dropping the course.

✦ If you are absent, you may turn in your work ahead of time via e-mail or send the work to class with a

friend; however, no assignments will be accepted after the class period. (Please note: I drop the four lowest homework grades.)

✦ Homework will be graded in the following manner . . .

0 = no points = no assignment/exceptionally low quality (F) ✔- = 66 points = does not meet requirements/poor quality (D) ✔ = 85 points = satisfactory work (B)

✔ + = 100 points = excellent work (A)

(Please note: A ✔+ does not indicated that the homework assignment is book/web ready.)

The university grading scale is as follows:

PLAGIARISM & ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY: All work submitted must be your own with any outside sources properly acknowledged. Academic dishonesty includes using the work of another writer as your own, copying, allowing a tutor/friend/parent to write part or all for your paper or allowing someone else to use your work in the same manner. It also includes using any Internet sources as your own in any part or entirety. All ideas other than your own MUST be properly documented!

UC-COCE Undergraduate Grading Scales:

Grade Numerical Equivalent Points A 93-100 4.00 A- 90-92 3.67 B+ 87-89 3.33 B 83-86 3.00 B- 80-82 2.67 C+ 77-79 2.33 C 73-76 2.00 C- 70-72 1.67 D+ 67-69 1.33 D 60-66 1.00 F 0-59 0.00


Using material from other classes is also considered plagiarism. You may not submit the same work for two courses without appropriate permission from BOTH professors. Please document your work accordingly, and if you have ANY questions regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. SNHU’s standard policy is as follows:

Academic Honesty Policy*

Southern New Hampshire University requires all students to adhere to high standards of integrity in their academic work. Activities such as plagiarism and cheating are not condoned by the university. Students involved in such activities are subject to serious disciplinary action. Plagiarism is defined as the use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another without full and clear acknowledgment. Cheating includes the giving or receiving of unauthorized assistance on quizzes, examinations or written assignments from any source not approved by the instructor.

*For a full definition of academic dishonesty please refer to the undergraduate or graduate catalogs.

The penalty for academic dishonesty is your failure and/or dismissal from this course. There are no exceptions to this rule. Therefore, if you are unsure about your work in this manner, please talk to me before (and not after) you submit your work. If you have questions, please see me immediately. This is a no-tolerance policy! Indiscretions will be submitted to the dean’s office and placed in your academic file. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION:

✦ All assignments must be typed. ✦ I do not accept late papers/portfolios/homework/case studies/etc.

Because of the time restrictions on this course, I expect all assignments to be submitted in a timely manner. You are welcome to send the work with a fellow student or email it to me if you are going to miss class; however, computer-software problems and printer issues do not qualify as excuses for late work. Please allow enough time to correct computer situations as they arise.

✦ Should we have a class cancellation, for any reason, please move on in the syllabus. Each class is listed

in your syllabus and in MCL and includes both class preparation and in-class plans, so please continue and bring all applicable homework assignments to the next class or submit on-line.

✦ If you need course adaptations or accommodations (ADA/504 Compliance Statement), or if you have

emergency medical information to share with me, please see me as soon as possible.

ADA/504 Compliance Statement Southern New Hampshire University is committed to and concerned with meeting the needs of students challenged by physical, sensory, psychiatric and/or learning disabilities with regard to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended, and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act.

✦ I make every effort to adhere to the course outline and dates as they appear in the attached syllabus; however, occasionally adjustments need to be made for any variety of reasons (i.e., weather cancellations, professional conferences, course enrollment, workload, etc.). Any changes will be announced in class and/or sent via e-mail.

✦ We will be doing a significant amount of peer response – responding to each other’s writing. Please

make sure assignments are typed, and I often advise students to bring multiple copies of each writing activity to class so that they can have a fresh copy for each writing partner during the class.

✦ Please be respectful of cell phones and text messaging in the classroom; make sure cell phones are

turned off and texting during class time is prohibited. If I feel you are using class time inappropriately, I reserve the right to ask you to leave the class and mark you absent for the day.

✦ Please be respectful of me and your classmates. Once class has started, you should make every effort

to remain in the classroom until class has been dismissed. WRITING TUTORS & ACADEMIC LEARNING CENTER: Additional services are also available in the means of tutoring through the Academic Resource Center. I rarely have anything leave my desk without someone proofreading it. I highly recommend using these free services; however, this is a busy office during the school year. Please plan your time accordingly.

The Learning Center, located in Stark Hall, offers walk-in tutoring in the following disciplines: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Technology, Math, Writing (across all disciplines), and Writing for Non-Native Speakers. The walk-in schedule is available at: http://www.snhu.edu/2147.asp. The Center also offers individualized or professional tutoring in other subjects or for students needing

personalized assistance. In addition, Peer mentoring is available for assistance with study/organizational skills, such as time management, exam preparation, note-taking, etc. Students at any level who want assistance reaching their academic goals are encouraged to visit The Learning Center.


LIBRARY RESOURCES STATEMENT: In addition to the intellectual resources available on site and online (http://www.snhu.edu/library), Shapiro Library makes available group and one-on-one instruction in information literacy, enabling students to define and articulate what knowledge-based resources are relevant to their research interests. Library staff are available to assist students in effectively and efficiently accessing information from credible sources, to compare new knowledge with prior beliefs, and to consider the related ethical, legal, and socio-economic issues that are inherent in scholarly investigation.

BLACKBOARD™: The use of Blackboard™ is NOT required in this course; however, your syllabus is listed within Blackboard as a backup measure. MYCOMPLAB™: MyCompLab IS REQUIRED for this course. Your access code is included with The Penguin Handbook for Writers; however, it may also be purchased individually on-line at mycomplab.com for $35.00. The course key is at the top of the syllabus with my contact information.

SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY POLICY STATEMENTS: There is additional information about these policies and others available at: https://my.snhu.edu/Academics/Pages/SyllabiStatements.aspx
