Course Description The purpose of this course is to provide further practice with a variety of genres that you'll use throughout your college career and in your professional life. These genres include reflection, analysis, reporting, arguing, and self-assessment. While you likely had experience with these genres in your primary and secondary education, this class will provide you with an opportunity to expand and develop your range. In addition to exploring these genres, we will also develop our research practices to make use of City College's virtual library. ➢ This syllabus represents a plan for the semester, but that plan will be changed if the need arises. As the semester progresses, sometimes we might need to slow down or speed up! I will keep you notified of any and all changes. ➢ This is a fully online course, and we will engage both in synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities. This means that we will meet altogether on Zoom, twice a week (see syllabus), and you will also have assignments to complete on your own time. ➢ Blackboard. This is where you will be able to: See your grades, read announcements that I will post and also send out as emails, and engage in the Discussion Board. ➢ There will be three types of assignments on Blackboard: Discussion board posts Group peer reviews Assignment links ➢ Course Website. https://writingcraft.commons.gc.cuny.edu ➢ Zoom: the link is in Blackboard under the menu item "Start Here: Course Information." Syllabus, calendar of classes and activities, assignment sheets , study sheets, and videos are posted in the course website, and I will also send links to you with each announcement/email. You will not need to buy any books, but please bring a notebook to every class. Zoom Meeting Protocols Students are expected to attend Zoom meetings. If you cannot attend, you need to email me ahead of time. We are all part of a learning community. There are my expectations: ❖ Cell phones should be silenced and put away. ❖ Be respectful and exhibit professional behavior. ❖ Be awake, alert, and personally, socially, and relationship aware. ❖ During class, we all want to feel safe and to voice our opinions and learn and grow. ❖ Practice active listening and ask questions. ❖ Turn on your videos so we can maintain connection throughout the class. If you find this is impossible, please let me know.

Because this course is taken in conjunction with the Philosophy of Art topic section, our readings and writings will focus on art. What is your relationship to art? How do you interact with art? You will be able to choose your own areas of interest when writing about art and artists. Although our work in this class will reflect your study in the topic section, it will have some flexibility and will focus more on good writing rather than particular subject matter. However, in your papers for the composition section, you are welcome to use philosophical terms and methods of talking about art that you have learned in the topic section. In addition, you will meet with both instructors for personal conferences on October 12 th ➢ This syllabus represents a plan for the semester, but that plan will be changed if the need arises. Changes to the syllabus will be posted in the Announcements section of the Blackboard site; they will also be made in the Calendar section, in the Syllabus/Calendar folder. If you rely on a printed copy of the syllabus, it will be up to you to make revisions to it based on the posted changes.
