Writing and Rhetoric MWF, Fall 2017 Section 12: TLC 122 from 12:30 - 1:20 Section 15: TLC 248 from 1:30 - 2:20 Caitlin Palmer cpalmer@uidaho.edu Office: Brink 106 Office Hours: Mon, Wed (2:30-3:30); T (12:30-1:30) and by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION “The Medium is the Message” This course, while providing skills for reading, writing, and other forms of composition, will be largely inquisitive. We will be examining not only messages - content - that we take in, but also how we take them in, known as the “medium.” How do those different forms, or genres, of writing, affect how it’s perceived? We will move through an examination of Digital Media, Visual, Print, and Academic (or Scholarly). Using the University of Idaho textbook Becoming Rhetorical, the class will prompt you to do examinations, analyses, and comparisons of messages and their forms, culminating in a research paper. COURSE GOALS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES English 102 is an introductory composition course, designed to improve your skills in persuasive, expository writing, the sort you will be doing in other courses in college and in many jobs. Sometimes this kind of writing is called transactional writing; it is used to transact something—persuade and inform a reasonably well-educated audience, conduct business, evaluate, review, or explain a complex process, procedure, or event. By the end of the course, a successful student should be able to... 1. Accurately assess and effectively respond to a wide variety of audiences and rhetorical situations. 2. Comprehend college-level and professional prose and analyze how authors present their ideas in view of their probable purposes, audiences, and occasions. 3. Present ideas as related to, but clearly distinguished from, the ideas of others (including the ability to paraphrase, summarize, and correctly cite and document borrowed material). 4. Focus on, articulate, and sustain a purpose that meets the needs of specific writing situations. 5. Explicitly articulate why they are writing, who they are writing for, and what they are 1
2.
saying. 6. Write critical
analyses and syntheses of college-level and professional prose. 7. Be able to make the connection between questions and problems in your life both within and outside of college. 8. Gather and evaluate information and use it for a rhetorical purpose in writing a research paper. 9. Attend to and productively incorporate a variety of perspectives. 10. Develop flexible strategies for generating, revising, editing, and proofreading. 11. Understand writing as an open process that permits writers to use later invention and re-thinking to revise their work. 12. Give and receive constructive feedback from peers. 13. Use conventions of format and structure appropriate to the rhetorical situation and practice appropriate means of documenting their work. 14. Locate, evaluate, organize, and use research material collected from electronic sources, including scholarly library databases; other official databases (e.g., federal government databases); and informal electronic networks and internet sources. DEADLINES Administrative Deadlines The university has certain deadlines of which you need to be aware if you want to drop the course at some point during the term. September 1st – Last day to add the course WITH a late fee. September 1st – Last day to drop the course without a grade of W. October 20th– Last day to drop the course with a grade of W. Class Deadlines Essay 1, Personal Narrative: Wednesday, August 30th Essay 2, Critical Analysis: Friday, September 15th Group Project, Visual Composition: Friday, September 29th Essay 3, Book Review: Friday, October 13th Research Paper: Monday, November 27th Multimodal Remediation: Monday, December 4th **These deadlines are for final drafts; we will be working on rough drafts and revisions in stages, before these due dates. TEXTBOOK (Provided) ● Jodie Nicotra, Becoming Rhetorical, Forthcoming 2
3.
OTHER READINGS (ON
BBLEARN) ● Weekly selections of critical pieces and examples. ATTENDANCE 15% of the total grade will be made up of participation. This will include: - class attendance (3 missed days without penalty; 2 additional requiring a write-up of what is missed in class; any additional will result in dropping a letter grade) - participation. While we’ll learn forms of writing, we’ll be practicing them in the context of issues, questions, and discussions. This could involve going around one at a time and sharing a thought about the reading or response to a prompt; or an informal back-and-forth. You will be expected to contribute at least once a week in this way. As an instructor, I should easily remember your contribution. - respect. Conversation is not about waiting for your turn to talk, but listening to what others have to say, and valuing their role in the discussion and the classroom. If you are absent due to health, University-affiliated commitments, family emergency, etc., these are considered excused absences and do not count toward your total. Being in attendance means being physically present, awake, coherent, and fully prepared for class, with the day’s assignments completed. You are responsible for making up all of the work that you miss. It might be in your best interest to exchange numbers with your classmates. COURSE ETIQUETTE Classroom citizenship. The classroom is a learning community. To foster an environment conducive for intellectual rigor and openness, we must respect each individual. Behavior or language that transgresses this respect is not tolerated. If you have a problem with anything in the course, you may speak to me about it privately after class or during my office hours. Technology. Unless otherwise stated by me, cell phones are to be PUT AWAY and SILENCED. You may use your laptops during class to take notes, if you wish, but if this becomes a distraction, I will ask you to put it away. OFFICE HOURS My office hours and office number are listed above and on the BbLearn home page. I enjoy talking to students outside of class, and welcome you to stop by to discuss your work, questions about the course, etc. I’m in my office a lot during the week outside of my posted hours, as well, so please stop by! 3

COURSE REQUIREMENTS Major Writing
Assignments Personal Narrative (~750 words or 2.5 pages) A “message,” or the idea a communicator wants you to think, believe, or act on, is something we are subjected to nearly all the time. Identify a message that has, at some point in your life, resonated with you. Describe the content: what is this message? what does it mean? what implications does it carry? Next, analyze the medium of the message. How was it relayed? Is it something you’ve come across many times? In a magazine article, a class lesson, a speech, a conversation, a billboard? Pick two of these to discuss their sources, style of delivery, and assumptions about you as a consumer. Critical Analysis Essay (800 - 1000 words, 3 - 4 pages) In class, we have discussed the different purposes, audiences, and effects, of a summary news article, and an in-depth exploratory or narrative article. Now, find an example of these for a topic you’re interested in your own. Who is the audience for each piece? What kind of ethos about the writer or organization comes across? What assumptions are the writers working with for what is and is not explained? What are the different effects on you as a reader? Which is more reflective of the issue, and what problems can arise from this? Group Project, Visual Composition In groups, you will create a short 3-4 minute video of an event going on in Moscow or on campus. This can include still shots, motion, voiceover and music - and of course, the cuts and edits you make. After having the hands-on experience of making a video, each member will turn in a two-page paper reflecting on the framing of the narrative, that is, how you took footage of multiple chronologies, locations, and perspectives, and combined them into one narrative. How is that narrative representative of the event? How did the manipulations of the content, of order, duration, and progression, alter perception of the event? What did this experience of framing show you about narrative as a whole? Book Review (~750 words, 2 pages) This section will show us what’s unique about composition in the fictional mode of a story. Namely, how does detail, plot, and tension, create connection or empathy with the characters? After reading an example in class, you will take a short story of your own choosing (or select one from the list) and construct a review around your opinion of how well the author created narrative empathy for character/s, or not. You will also examine how effective this scenario was as presented as a story, versus another mode of composition. This assignment will be set up as a magazine or blog-style opinion piece. Research Paper (~2500 words or 8 pages) 4
5.
The research paper
will entail returning to the first topic of the course and expounding on it with the tools we’ve learned: picking a ‘message’ and analyzing the different forms it takes. Questions to consider: - What is the scope of the message? What various audiences is it presented to, and how are the forms (style, tone, mode, length, etc) varied for those audiences? - Which forms do you find most effective? Why? - Take one or more aspect we’ve discussed, including: 1) surface-level representation v. context, 2) framing, 3) narrative tension, 4) and peer-review/ use of studies, and track the significance of this for your message. - If relevant, what are counterviews to this message, and how do they successfully (or not) engage in the conversation? - Lastly, a personal reflection on how understanding of these modes will affect your consuming of messages in the future. Final Project and Presentation In the last weeks of the semester, we will be doing a “remediation,” translating your research from one form - a paper - into another. This could take the form of any other modes we’ve discussed: visual, digital, narrative. We’ll discuss options in each unit. Presentations will be made to the class, lasting 4-5 minutes. Grade Breakdown - Participation: 15% - Reading Quizzes: 10% - Personal Narrative Essay: 10% - Critical Analysis Essay 2: 10% - Group Project and Reflection: 10% - Book Review: 10% - Research Paper: 25% - Presentation of Research: 10% For each major assignment, you’ll receive feedback from your peers, as well as myself. This will include comments on rough drafts, which will be ungraded, but used to provide improvement for final turn-in’s. I plan on holding one conference early on to check in with progress with the course, and another mid-term to examine your ideas and use of resources for the research paper. In class, we’ll be sharing what we think of each other’s progress, as well. Daily Assignments/Homework There will be an amount of reading due every week from both the textbook and additional sources linked to on Blackboard. Homework will vary but will include preparation for class 5

discussion, whether responding
to a prompt, selecting a quote or passage that stuck out to you and why, or formulating questions to bring to the class’s attention. There will be one pop Reading Quiz a week. GRADING If you withdraw from this course on or before Friday, March 31st, nothing will appear on your transcript. If you stay registered for the course after that date, you will receive one of the following grades. Only an A, B, or C are passing grades. A Represents achievement that is outstanding or superior relative to the level necessary to meet the requirements of the course. B Represents achievement that is significantly above the level necessary to meet the requirements of the course. Grades of A or B are honors grades. You must do something beyond the minimum required in order to earn an A or B. C Represents achievement that meets the basic requirements in every respect. It signifies that the work is average, but nothing more. W Stands for Withdrawal. This is the grade you will receive if you withdraw from the course after January 19th but on or before January 25th . A W has no effect on your GPA, but you can have only 20 W credits during your time as an undergraduate at UI (about six courses). After January 25th you can no longer withdraw from the course. N Stands for No Credit. A grade of N has no effect on your GPA, but it does mean that you need to take the course again. You will earn a grade of N if your grade is an N and you have done all the work for the course. You also must have made a good faith effort to complete all the assignments. Handing in just any piece of writing just to avoid getting an F will not work. F Stands for Failure. A grade of F has a negative effect on your GPA. If you fail to hand in any major writing assignment or do not make a good-faith effort to succeed at a major assignment, you will automatically earn an F. If your average grade is an N but you did not complete one of the major components of the course (one of the major papers of all of the homework assignments or drafts), you will automatically earn an F in the course. There is no reason for receiving an F in this course, unless you simply fail to submit the required work. I Stands for incomplete. Under very unusual circumstances you could be assigned an Incomplete in the course if something happened to you within the last two weeks of the semester that made it impossible to complete the course (a serious accident or illness that left you hospitalized and very significant personal tragedy, etc. POLICY ON PLAGIARISM IN ENGLISH 102 6

At the University
of Idaho, we assume you will do your own work and that you will work with your instructor on improving writing that is your own. Plagiarism—using someone else’s ideas or words as your own without proper attribution--is a serious matter. The consequences of plagiarism: If I find that you have plagiarized willfully, you will receive an F for the assignment, which could result in a failing grade for the course. When you need to use words or ideas from another person—whether an idea, a picture, a powerful statement, a set of facts, or an explanation—cite your source! DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS STATEMENT Reasonable accommodations are available for students who have documented temporary or permanent disabilities. All accommodations must be approved through Disability Support Services located in the Idaho Commons Building, Room 306 in order to notify your instructor(s) as soon as possible regarding accommodation(s) needed for the course. ● 885-6307 ● email at <dss@uidaho.edu> ● website at www.access.uidaho.edu And lastly… This class will be fun! It will be interactive! It will be relevant to your own life. And while I will ask you to become more considerate, analytical, and empathetic people, the classroom environment will be welcoming and fairly informal. Welcome! Caitlin Palmer 7
