- The standard EN 1250 syllabus is held together by a common philosophy and a common set of learning outcomes, not by a rigid schedule or specific readings.听 If a student and his or her roommate are taking English 1250, 1200, or 1210, they may have different readings, assignments, and discussion/writing topics.听 The following descriptions are not absolute, but may help students to understand the different units.听
These are the assignments students may be asked to complete in EN 1250
- Project #1:听 What Do You Have to Say?听 The purpose of the semester鈥檚 first major project essay is to introduce students to academic research and writing.听 To do so, students will choose one of the essays they read in this section and write a paper that makes an argument about an issue and supports it with evidence from their course reading(s) (3-4 pages).听
- Project #2:听 What Do You Have to Say?听 This assignment builds on the ideas from the first assignment by asking students to conduct some minor research about a topic and to incorporate that research into their writing.听 (4-5 pages). 听
- Project #3:听 Formal Research-Based Project.听 Students will pick a research topic or question from the course and write an annotated bibliography and paper proposal:听 1-2 page proposal with 4-6 item bibliography.听 They will then write a research-based project based on their proposal and annotated bibliography. (5-7 pages).
- Project #4.听 Academic Literacy Narrative.听 Students will compose an academic narrative on their learning about writing over the course of the semester, integrating the narrative with research on the kind of writing performed in their major.听 This assignment can stand alone as a separate project, or students can use this narrative as their final portfolio letter.
