Life does not consist in the contemplation of one consistent world but in the painful task of unifying (to
a greater or less extent) jarring and incompatible ones, and passing, when possible, from two or more
discordant viewpoints to a higher which shall somehow include and transmute them.
~T.S. Eliot


Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a
purpose.
~ Zora Neale Hurston



Even these lived truths are partial and fragmentary, for only the finest tact after all can give us only an interpretation, and
every interpretation, along perhaps with some utterly contradictory
interpretation, has to be taken up and reinterpreted by thinking mind and by every
civilization. ~T.S. Eliot.



Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given
case the available means of persuasion.
--Aristotle, Rhetoric



A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies
The man who never reads lives only one.
~ Game of Thrones

Course Learning Outcomes:

*** ENGL 1101 satisfies one of Kennesaw State Universitys general education program requirements. ***
It addresses the Written Communication general education learning outcome. The learning outcome states:
Students will write & communicate at a college level in various modes, media, and/or rhetorical contexts
through focusing on skills required for effective writing in a variety of contexts, with emphasis on exposition,
analysis, and argumentation. Furthermore, this course will provide students with an introductory use of a
variety of research skills. For more information about KSUs General Education program requirements and
associated learning outcomes, please visit

http://catalog.kennesaw.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=29&poid=3434.



The trajectory of this course will take you through numerous activities and assignments designed to provide
practice and afford insight in order to help you master the following essential writing/reading/critical thinking
skills. Divided in to three distinct outcome areas, they are:

Outcome 1: Rhetorical Composition.
You will compose texts in multiple genres, employing and using multiple modes of communication in
relation to various rhetorical situations.

Through composing a variety texts throughout the semester representing a diverse assortment of genres
you will demonstrate your understanding of audience, purpose, and constraints, use and adapt generic
conventions, as well as hone your voice as an author using organization, development, style, and tone.

Outcome 2: Critical Thinking and Reading Resulting in Writing.
As you undertake scholarly inquiry and produce your own arguments, you will learn to summarize,
analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the ideas and arguments of others.

During this semester, you will be bombarded by the ideas of others. You will encounter these ideas in a
variety of texts both inside and outside the classroom and across a various swaths mediums--print, visual,
aural, oral, etc. You will learn proper ways to ethically integrate texts written by other individuals into
your own work by correctly citing and adapting. Through this, you will learn how to employ writing as a
tool to engage and think critically about a myriad of issues.

Outcome 3: Writing as Process.
Students understand and practice writing as a process, recursively-implementing strategies of research,
drafting, revision, editing, and reflection.

In learning about your own writing process and doing guided reflective writing about that process, you
will learn to critique your work and apply those principles to works created by peers. You will also
become aware that creating a successful text requires multiple drafts and intentionality concerning the
deployment of your arguments specific efficacies.

Required Texts & Materials:

For your convenience and because I was recently, a college student myself and LOATHE the burglary that takes
place on campus bookstores across this fine country of ours, I have designed the first 2 weeks of this course
readings, homework, etc.to all be freely electronically available on the D2L Course Site as pdfs. This will allow
you two and a half weeks to order your books online before they are needed for class.
(or walk over to the bookstore and get gougedthe choice is yours)

***However, you will be accountable for ALL readings and homework derived from readings*** ***beginning
week 3 of class***

I, for my part, bring engagement, passion, experience, perspective, an ethical paradigm and advocacy for
free discourse and exchange of ideas to our course. These traits manifest themselves in: providing feedback,
comments, and suggestions on where to go next with an assignment within 7-10 days of its due date.
Encouraging a plurality of discursive viewpoints, competing values systems, and social/cultural conventions to
maximize free expression and grow together through inhabiting difficult spaces long enough to become
generative. Giving YOU a say in your assignmentsallowing you a truly free choice as to what you investigate
over the course of the semester without prompts, parameters, or assigned topics. The world is Yalls oyster.

Verily,

Prof. Graham

Course Philosophy:
Four essential concepts explain why we do what we do here; have the assignments we have, resolve
problems the way we do. These are the core principles of OUR classs organic intellectual community.

Rigor: Each week, youll be responsible for 20-35 pages of reading and 5-ish pages of academic
writingin addition to any revisions, workshops, or online posts you are to complete.

Engagement: Bringing your ideas, thoughts, interests, values, POV, questions etc., and lay them
alongside both those belonging of your classmates and those we focus our study on in order to
deepening our wisdom by investing in ourselvesby learning about ourselves.

Respect: Stay hungry for knowledge and ready to be surprised the ever-ironic human condition.

Advocacy: Be proactive and propose a solution for problems that exist while learning, adapting, and
heading off oncoming issues before they reach critical mass sufficient to affect our little community.

Attendance:
Attendance is expected at each class meeting and online each week. Because writing courses depend on class
discussion, peer review, and practice in certain skills in addition to lecture and presentation, the English
Department's policy is that students who miss 20% or more of class should not receive credit for English 1101.
The participation grade will be lowered a letter grade for the 4th absence. The expectation is that each student will
attend each class meeting. Excused absences for extenuating circumstances will be discussed on a case-by-case
basis.

Late Work:
Online Assignments: For online discussion, students need to participate during the active forum; these
discussions cannot be made up in later weeks. For online writing assignments, documents must be uploaded
to the D2L system by the deadline to receive credit; late submissions cannot receive credit. Understand that
there are NO EXCUSES that will mitigate this fact. Thus: not having convenient internet access, forgetting
to attach a file, attaching the wring file, computer died, Hard Drive Erased, et. setc. will not excuse and
assignments lateness. ANY deviation from posted due dates MUST be worked out with me well in advance.
In-class assignments: These include quizzes, group discussions, collaborative activities, writing in class, peer
groups, bringing drafts/writing to class, bringing reading materials to class, etc. You must be present to
receive credit. These assignments cannot be made up.
Essay Assignments: Essay assignments must be submitted before their deadlines. (These will be posted
online, explained on the syllabus, reappear as a reminder, and adorn each of the assignment handouts.) Late
writing assignments will not be accepted If you are required to be absent from class (whether it is a school
activity, a family issue, illness, etc.), you are expected to turn in your assignments before your required
absence. Any deviation from this must be worked out with me well in advance of said absence. Should an
absence be extensive and unexpected (i.e. natural disaster, car wreck, youve been elected president of the
Peoples Republic of Mali and must give your inaugural address) I will discuss solutions or your withdrawal
from the course on a case-by-case basis.

Contact/Communication:
As this is a Hybrid course with significant online components Email is the best way to contact me if you have
any questions or concerns. Generally, I will respond to all student email within 24 hours (although on
weekends and holidays, it may take a little longer). Likewise, there may be instances when I will need to
contact you by email.

***IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK YOUR KSU EMAIL ACCOUNT AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 24 HOURS***

Writing Assessment:
In lieu of the Regents Exam, Kennesaw State University instituted a writing assessment policy in English
1101 and 1102. Individual students will be required to pass 1101 and 1102 with a C or better. However,
those who do not pass will be required to 1) re-take the course and 2) to register for an additional
tutorial, taught by University Studies. Students are only allowed to re-take each of these courses once.

Course Assessments:
Participation and Preparation:
This portion of the grade includes participation in online discussions on D2L as well as online and
in-class activities.
We will have online discussions during the semester--participation is NOT OPTIONAL.
students who dont participate & miss three or greater discussions will earn no higher than a
C for the term.

Not participating in activitiesboth online and in-classbe they Reading Responses, Analysis
documents, Proposals, workshops, quizzes, weekly written assignments, etc.will hamper
students ability to successfully craft essays.

developing your essay or presentation. You may bring your work on a laptop or on paper. Each regular
appointment lasts 50-55 minutes. Please note that you may only schedule two ESL tutoring appointments per
week (Sunday-Saturday).
