accomplish the
following minimum objectives:
·
To
draft, write, and revise a minimum of four essays (500 word minimum)
on literary topics (including literary analysis) to be assigned by the
instructor, adhering to the guidelines of the English Department’s
Theme Standard Sheet.
Three essays must cover the genre—one on fiction, one on drama, and
one on poetry. The fourth
essay can be a genre paper, or it can be substituted for by one of the
following: (1) three micro themes,
(2) a journal, (3) an oral presentation, or (4) the final exam.
·
To
research, outline, draft, and write out of class a research paper of
1000 to 2000 words, adhering to the
guidelines of the department's Theme Standard Sheet.
·
To
demonstrate on two written tests and a final exam the ability to
analyze and discuss the fiction, poetry, and drama assigned, using the
methods and terminology covered in the text and lecture.
·
To
produce all out-of-class writing on a computer.
·
To
write a final exam demonstrating mastery of composition and content
within an official, timed exam period without assistance from the
instructor. If the instructor substitutes the final exam for essay
four, the final exam will then include a fully developed essay.
NOTE:
These objectives outline minimum requirements.
The instructor may
require additional assignments.
The number of in-class writing assignments (if any)
will be
determined by the instructor.
