In addition, most of the reading materials are online, too, including a course Web site, a Web textbook, and this "Course Packet." You need to go to the course Web site immediately (see below). You also must be able to go online regularly: at home, in the main IHCC computer lab beside the IHCC library, in the library, or in the Writing Center (above the library). rd Syllabus & Schedule: Go to http://Richard.Jewell.net and clicking on “Eng. 1114.” This will take you to our course Web site. Then you can choose the syllabus (summary of course), the schedule, or a number of other Web pages. Readings: For the main writing textbook, go to our course Web site (see above), click on RESOURCES, and then click on CollegeWriting.info (or go directly to http://CollegeWriting.info). There also are two nonfiction books to buy in the IHCC bookstore, one by Daniel Bergner and the other by Viktor Frankl. Also, you should print out from the course Web site this "Course Packet." Info for Contacting the Instructor: On our course Web site (see above), click on INSTRUCTOR or go directly http://Richard.Jewell.net and click on “Contact.” You’ll find my office hours posted there. Please feel free to call me at home (612-870-7024) or email me richard@jewell.net (with two “L’s” at the end of “Jewell”). Minimum Work for the Semester: PLEASE NOTE: To pass this course (C or higher), you must have (1) a minimum of 140 points* --- (2) a minimum of four Draft-1 papers & two Draft-2 papers completed (3) continuing attendance/contact (if you miss 2 wks. in a row, you will be dropped). Completing more points and more drafts will lead to a higher grade (160-79 points and two Draft 3's is a "B"; 180+ points, a Draft 3, and a Draft 4 is an "A"). *Note: you may get a "D" by earning 120+ points & completing four Draft 1's and two Draft 2's. However, a "D" often does not transfer to another college on a course-bycourse basis (but if you are getting your two-year degree and/or the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum at Inver Hills, then all of those credits transfer automatically to Minnesota's public universities). --------(Use MS Word when typing.

The subject should be a debatable argument, not fact. Start each body section with a new reason why the arg. is true. 2. Add a quotation—one in each and every section—supporting your reasoning. 3. Use required structure: 1 intro par., 3-4 body sections (with subtitles/spaces between them), & 1 concluding par. MY THESIS SENTENCE (MAIN-ARGUMENT SENTENCE) IS Thesis Sentence: MY 3-4 TOPIC SENTENCES (3-4 REASONS WHY THESIS SENTENCE IS TRUE) ARE Reason #1 sentence: Reason #2 sentence: Reason #3 sentence: Paper C, Thesis Paper with Supporting Quotations: Read Ch. B2. Then find an argument and 3-4 reasons proving why it is true—something meaningful and worthwhile to you. From this argument and 3-4 reasons proving it, type a thesis paper. Remember that you cannot choose, as your thesis, something that is fact: it must be debatable opinion. (If you have difficulty, try developing a dialogic argument; then use one of those three positions as a thesis argument.) Type 500+ w.: (1) One intro paragraph stating your main argument and 3-4 proofs or reasons why it is true: place all 4-5 sents. (arg. + reasons) together at end (or beginning) of intro. (2) 3-4 body sections of 1+ paragraphs each. Type each section using the following parts: (A) A subtitle (e.g., First Reason/Proof) on a line alone, or an extra blank line, to show the section’s beginning. (B) A 1st sentence repeating a reason why/proof from the intro (e.g., “First, the main argument is true because __”), (C) Explanation and development of your reason, (D) 2+ quotations per body section (from the reading) that help support or explain what you are saying. (3) Add a brief, interesting conclusion. -end- 8 THESIS WORKSHEET—How To Make a Thesis Sentence (1108+1114, 3-20-06) 1. State your specific subject, questions, or areas of interest from which you will choose: _________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Write two entirely opposing arguments about something from "1" above in the two boxes here: Some would argue that Others would argue the opposite, that 3. Write a compromise or higher position in this next box: However, others would argue that 4. Now, state your choice—choose one of these three positions from the three boxes above: _____________________. 5. Then narrow it as much as possible: make it more specific, smaller, more limited, dealing with one small time, place, event, sub-issue, or sub-part: Write the new version here: One can argue that 6. Next, state 6 possible reasons why this argument is true. Fill in all 6, even if you have to creatively make up some reasons (so you can expand your possibilities). You must finish each sentence below grammatically—sensibly (to double check that the reason really does support the thesis sentence.) Use the backside of this sheet if necessary. a. One possible reason this position is true is that b. Another possible reason it is true is that c. Another possible reason it is true is that d. Another possible reason it is true is that e. Another possible reason it is true is that f. Another possible reason it is true is that 7. Finally, circle your 3-4 best choices: choose just 3-4 of the above reasons (or combine what you have into just 3-4). 8. Repeat this pattern, "1"-"7," until you find a thesis sentence and reasons that you like. 9 Jewell, B-136, IHCC (2-9-06) CIRCLE ONE: Eval. / Crit.

How do you type a bibliography? A bibliography is your list of sources for your paper—books, journals, Web sites, etc. Different disciplines have different systems: e.g., English and the humanities use MLA; social sciences and nursing use APA or ASA; history, CMS; journalism, AP; science and engineering, CSE, etc. Here is an example of one of these, MLA. A typical MLA bibliography is titled “Works Cited.” It is a separate end page with consistent double spacing and standard margins. Entries are alphabetized using authors’ last names (if available). Each entry has a “hanging indent”: the first line is even with the left margin; each line of the entry after the first is indented ½” (the same as a paragraph’s beginning). Here are four examples of common types of entries: 5. Works Cited Standard margins & p. #. A centered title, simply typed. Bergner, Daniel. In the Land of Magic Soldiers. New York: Farrar, 2003. 1. book “Basketball brawl.” Star Tribune 23 Nov. 2004. A22. 2. news article (no author) Lavender, Catherine. Alice Walker. 26 Aug. 1997. Nov. 15, 2004 <http:// 3. Web site (two dates, Web www.library.csi.cuny.edu/dept/history/lavender/walker.html>. Royster, Jacqueline Jones. “From Practice to Theory: Writing across the Disciplines at Spelman College.” Writing, Teaching, and Learning in the address, and a break after a “/” mark) 4. one essay in a collection by different authors Disciplines. Ed. Anne Herrington and Charles Moran. New York: MLA, (with the essay’s beginning and ending p. #s) 1992. 119-131. alphabetized entries APA is different: see a guide. 2. How do you use these entries in your paper? Use information from each “Works Cited” entry at least once in your paper, either as a quotation or as a paraphrase. You may also show additional sources: (a) unused ones on an “Other Works Consulted” page or (b) highly recommended ones on a “Selected Bibliography” page. 3. What are quotations and paraphrases? They are evidence supporting your thoughts. A “quotation” (“Q”) is a source’s exact words. A “paraphrase” (“P”) is a source’s idea summarized in your own words. Give credit to each source to avoid plagiarism. Even accidental plagiarism can lead to your flunking a course or being fired from a professional job. To avoid such consequences, give authors credit for not only their words but also their thoughts. 4. How do you give credit? Provide a source name and (if available) page #. Start most Q’s and P’s with the first word from the bibliog. entry. (Compare the bold names below with the above). Here are typical patterns. The left side shows MLA & APA; the right, only MLA. (Notice how APA uses the past tense, a publ. year, and a “p.”) MLA: Author says, “Quotation” (00). APA: Author (19XX) said, “Quotation” (p. 0). MLA: According to Author, “Q” (00). APA: According to Author (19XX), “Q” (p. 0). MLA: Author says that paraphrase (00). APA: Author (19XX) said that paraphrase (p. 0). MLA: Paraphrase (Author 000). APA: Paraphrase (Author, 19XX, p. 0). Bergner says, “Here, . . . in the middle of the lowest nation on earth, something baffling . . . had been created . . .” (213). (MLA) According to Royster, it is wise for “instructors to ‘image’ what it is that they see themselves trying to do in the classroom” (122). “Basketball” says that civil behavior is gradually decreasing in NBA games (A22). (With no author, use the beginning of the bibliog. entry.) There are specific Web sites placing Alice Walker in the context of other women writers (Lavender). (MLA) Web pages have no p. #s (but PDF files do). You also may use words of introduction such as “argues,” “asks,” “suggests,” “implies,” etc. in moderation. 5. How do you know what not to credit? If you use common knowledge or information similar to what is in a standard reference (such as a dictionary), you need not credit a source (unless you quote it). One rule of thumb is that if you find the same idea in three sources, none of which credit another source, then the idea probably is common knowledge: don’t credit it (unless you quote it). Your own idea also does not need credit. However, if you find it in a published source, credit that source, too (e.g., “One idea is __. This idea also is expressed by __.”) 13 Circle one: Analysis Dialogic Thesis Eval. CritRvw.

Avoid MSWorks. Some operations may be different in Apple computers.) 1. How to Add Page Numbers: Use MSWord (not MSWorks). Click on “Insert,” then “Page Numbers.” Choose to have the page number in the upper-right corner for this class. (Other instructors may prefer the mid-bottom or midtop. You should almost never place numbers on the left-hand side.) Having a number on page 1 is optional. 2. How to Make 1” Margins: Click on “File,” then “Page Setup.” Set all four margins for “1.” Print and check with a ruler. If needed, set a margin for less (e.g., “.5”). (Are bottoms still different from page to page? See “8” below.) 3. How to Fix Paragraphs for Academic/Formal Writing: (1) In academic and formal professional writing, paragraphs are at least two sentences long and usually longer. (2) They also usually are not excessively long (see the requirements on the opposite side of this sheet). (3) Body sections in college usually have more than 1 paragraph. For this draft, make 4+. Vary their lengths. (4) In dialogue, each time a speaker starts a new turn, you should give that new turn a new, indented paragraph. (5) Indent the first line of each paragraph ½”: 0.5” or about 8-10 spaces (using 12-point font). See “7” below. 4. How to Mark Your Manuscript for the Changes Below, in “5”-“10”: Have you already starting typing your paper? If so, the directions in “5”-“10” below require that you start by marking your entire paper in black. Doing so is similar to marking a word, sentence, or paragraph in black. Simply place the mouse at the beginning of your paper, click and hold down on the right-click part of your mouse, and move your mouse downward to the very end of the paper. When you reach the end, lift your finger from the right-click part of the mouse. Your paper now should be marked in black. Then you can make the changes below, and they will be applied to the whole paper. 5. How to Choose a Font (the style and size of letters): (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first.) Go to the font window above (or click on “Format,” then “Font”) and please use one of these academic fonts: Times New Roman or CG Times. (For most teachers, avoid any font that is large, plain, or overly small.) Use font size “12.” 6. How to Choose Double Spacing: (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first.) Click on “Format,” “Paragraph,” and “Indents and Spacing.” Change “Line spacing” to “Double.” 7. How to Choose ½” Indentation of Paragraph Beginnings: (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first.) Click on “Format,” “Paragraph,” and “Indents and Spacing.” Change “Special” to “First line,” and then “By” to “0.5.” (Or mark your paper; then click on “Format” and “Tabs,” and then set “Default tab stops” at 0.5”. 8. How to Make All Bottom Margins Exactly the Same: (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first.) Click on “Format,” “Paragraph,” and “Line and Page Breaks.” Uncheck all the “Pagination” boxes. 9. How to make a ragged right margin (when it is even or “justified”): (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first.) Click on “Format,” “Paragraph,” & “Indents & Spacing”; change “Alignment” to “Left.” 10. How to Make Hanging Indents in a Bibliography: (Did you already start typing? Do “4” above first, but mark only your bib.) Click on “Format,” “Paragraph,” “Indents & Spacing,” “Special,” and “Hanging;” set it for 0.5”. 11. For Checking Grammar: How to Turn On Formal (Full) Grammar Check (in Word 2000+): (a) Click on “Tools,” “Options,” and “Spelling & Grammar.” Generally, you do not need to worry about checking the boxes—they usually are set correctly. (b) Then change “Writing style” to “Grammar & Style.” (In earlier versions of Word, this is called “Formal.”) (c) If you wish, you may also go into “Settings” and, under “Require,” make the first three blanks say “always,” “inside,” and “2.” You also may then check every box under “Grammar” and “Style.” (d) Finally, you may need to click on “Recheck Document.” (e) You also can use the synonym checker by right-clicking on a word, then clicking on “synonyms.” -end – 15 1 "X" of extra credit for every 3 extra sources: State your # of quoted/paraphrased sources: _6_ required + ___ extra = ___ total.

(includes bib.) DIRECTIONS: (1) After I return your “Draft 3” with X’s on it, develop it into a Draft 4 within about a week (1700+ w. required). (2) Give it to me stapled in order: (a) “D-4 Cover Sheet,” (b) D-4, & (c) “D-3 Cover Sheet” & X’ed D-3 (no D-1 & 2). (3) ADD: (a) a 6th bibliography source (& 1+ "Q/P's" from it) & (b) make 2+ paraphrases per body sect. (6+ total). (4) MARK: Mark your quotations and paraphrases in bold! (Or label them by hand with "Q's" & "P's" in margins.) (5) I will choose just one full page to grade for grammar, spelling, & punctuation. I’ll circle errors on it. Then I will return this Draft 4 to you for revising. (If you instead get X’s, you are completely done with the paper.) --------------------------- (6) When revising the Draft 4, DO NOT TYPE A NEW D-4! Instead, (a) correct marked errors by hand in dark ink, and (b) also correct about the same number of errors on every page as there are on the one full page I marked. (7) Return your paper exactly as before: (a) “D-4 Cover Sheet,” (b) fixed D-4, & (c) “D-3 Cover” & D-3 (no D-1 & 2). (8) I will then look for about as many corrections in every set of 300 words as the number of errors I marked. (Date returned for revising circled items: _________________________________________________) (Revise in about 1 week.) FIX YOUR PAPER: A. Don’t retype. Look for the full page with circled editing errors. Correct those; also correct the same number of errors on every page: _____. B. To do so, GET HELP! (See “i.”-“vii.” below.) C. Look in your paper for other notes and/or Add p. #s to ends of quotations/paraphrases. Add 5-10 transition words/phrases on each page at the start of sentences & paragraphs (see back side of this sheet for examples). Change all “I/my/me/mine/you/your” words to “he/she/it/they/a person/people” etc. Sandwich each quote before & after, esp. at parag. beg./ends: add intro. and conc. sents. Add 1+ paraphrases/section. (See “Sheet 6B.”) Bibl. entries: fix order of/add more to some. Add/retype “Works Cited” page with double spacing, hanging indents, alphabetical order, & 5+ sources: 1+ library/print; 1+ course rdg.; 1+ mag., jrnl., nwspr., or gov. doc.; & 1+ Web. Delete __/___th of words/sents. on every page. Retype other pages/paragraphs: pp. ________. D. Other Comments: Directions for Editing Your Draft 4: i. Plan for several hour-long grammar-correcting sessions on several days—at times when you are wide awake. ii. Set your word processor for full grammar and style check. In Word, click on “Tools,” “Options,” and “Spelling & Grammar”; make sure most “Spelling” boxes are checked. Then in “Writing style,” select “Grammar & Style” (or “Formal”). Look at marked items and make corrections; however, be aware that 10-20% of markings may be wrong. iii. Next, edit your paper backward, one sentence at a time, starting with the last sentence on your last page. (In normal reading, you think about your contents. Reading backward helps you ignore contents so you see editing needs better.) iv. Edit backward out loud. (In silent reading, you miss errors. Reading aloud helps you hear and see more errors.) v. As you read backward out loud, mark possible error points. Correct them if you know how, or just mark/circle them. vi. When you’re done with “v.,” use a grammar handbook & its index or table of contents to look things up. vii. Finally, get tutoring help (required) from the Writing Center (or from a friend/relative who is very, very good at grammar!). (Almost no one is able to correct enough errors to get their X’s without help from someone!) - end - 16 Revising for X’s on your D-4 (12-15-05): Common Transition Words & Phrases (for beginnings/endings of sentences, paragraphs, and quotations) (12-15-04) ORGANIZATION: First, Second, Third, A first reason, a second reason, a third reason, One major reason, In addition, One more, Another, Next, A related issue is, One important idea is, Finally, In conclusion, In the end, SIMILARITY: Another, Furthermore, Related to this is, In comparing, In addition, As stated above, This is similar to, Like this, This is like, Add to this the idea that, Considering that, In the end, To summarize, According to, The preceding, The following, As part of this, Also there is, RESULT: Because of this, As a result, Therefore, It follows that, Why is this so?, What is the reason?, Add to this the idea that, Considering that, Before/after this, In the first place, In the end DIFFERENCE: However, Yet, …but, In spite of this, Unlike this, Opposing this is, To differentiate, In contrast, By comparison, This is different from, This is not the, In disagreement with this, On the one hand…on the other, neither…nor, Before/after this, Though it is, In the unlikely event that, Originally, At one time…but now, POSITION: One position/view/viewpoint is, Some people believe/argue/think/suggest, Others believe, Another/different/ opposing/alternative view is that, This viewpoint suggests/ implies/shows/leads to, Such advocates, One such belief is, An opposing belief is, QUOTATIONS, BEFORE: X says/states/asks/argues, According to X, X is right/wrong when he says, X says, however, X disagrees/ opposes this by saying, In contrast, X says, X opposes this by saying, X argues the opposite: AFTER: X means, This means, X’s point is, In summary, This point shows/proves/demonstrates/suggests, implies/leads to/is the same as/ties in with, (See also “SIMILARITY,” “RESULT,” and “DIFFERENCE” above.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revising for X’s on your D-4 (12-15-04) 1. Do NOT type a new copy. See “6-8” of “Directions” on the other side. 2. Edit carefully by following the comments and steps on the other side (“A.”-“D.”). The best students aren’t always the fastest or the highest scoring on intelligence tests. Instead, they are just as likely to include those willing to work the hardest and use smart learning. Smart learning means including 1+ trips to the Writing Center (or to some other tutor). One study I’ve seen shows that it’s not poor students who go to writing centers, but rather good students: that’s how they manage to get A’s and B’s on their graded papers in school—with tutoring. 3. Watch out for final deadlines. Many people need to have me look at a D-4 three times: once after it’s written, and twice more for two revisions. This takes time and, by now, probably, the end of the semester is nearing. FOR ADDITIONAL REVISING, see these checked items: _____ 1. You’ve only made corrections of editing errors in the places where I circled the errors. Please correct the same number of errors on every page. (For example, if you had about ten editing errors in the 300 words I marked, then you need to fix about ten editing errors in every 300-word segment.) _____ 2. Please correct more editing errors. (See note “2” directly above.) _____ 3. Please correct all of the items marked or circled on the other side of this sheet in “a.”-“h.” _____ 4. Please go to the Writing Center (or find a tutor somewhere) to help you with correcting your editing errors. (Take your D-4 assignment sheet; tutors can help you much better if they see an assignment sheet. If you would like a different tutor than one you had before, feel free to sign up for someone new.) _____ 5. Please also correct the following: Revising for X’s on your D-4 –See above
