Syllabus Response

After thoroughly analyzing the course syllabus for English 200 I have exposed myself to the challenges, expectations and resources available to me in order to receive the grade I want in this course. Firstly I want to discuss the differences between this English college-level course as opposed to taking English 12 at my high school. One example is all 200 English courses offered through Mendocino college, all students are required to enroll in a writing lab. Which is a free resource available to every student and a mandatory step required to receive credit on final your draft. Which can be completed online or in person throughout the whole week. While in English 12 at my high school, I am simply required to turn in my draft and a writing conference with my English teacher is available to me but it's not required in order to receive credit for my final draft. Another difference between English 200 compared to any English course offered at my high school is that the grading scale is completely different. For English 200 I get the choice to determine my own grade. While at my high school, the instructor has a say over the student by assigning a grade. This is a tremendous plus for me being able to pick and work towards the grade I want through the resources available to me through taking this course. …show more content…

I am expected to complete 4 formal academic essays. Requiring all 4 essays to go through revision, and editing before their submission as a final draft, and as discussed in the beginning a writing lab review will be required prior to my submission for all 4 of my formal essays. Also, attendance plays a huge role and I can get dropped from class for poor attendance. Overall the exceptions for English 200 are higher than high school class

  • Writing Response Community Through Contract Grading By Sarah Klotz And Kristina Reardon

    1373 Words  | 6 Pages

    It has been viewed from a holistic assessment point of view that emphasizes the evaluation of students' labor and processes. Grading contracts are utilized in the holistically assessing of work, assigning grades, outlining requirements to make certain grades, and in the enhancement of student motivation to undertake personal responsibilities for their assigned tasks while at the same time fostering democratic social engagement in the classroom. Students are included in curriculum development as well as assessment practices. According to Klotz and Reardon, contract grading is a form of assessment that draws away the concept of teachers as determinants of qualities of student writing and shifts the focus to the reward of student labor and promotion of student engagement in the writing process. In their article, grading agreements may favor neurotypical, normative students if they fail to recognize that one's ability to work does not always match their willingness to do so due to factors such as disability, class, and alternative personified and social orientation that converge with racial formation (Klotz and Reardon 109).

    Upon arriving to Miami Dade College, you will never imagine all the resources offered to students to succeed during their scholastic years. I’ve been lucky enough to been advised by some of the best staff at their Interamerican campus. From their advisement office to their profoundly knowledgeable professors. As a current student of ENC1102, we were required to attend one section with a tutor at the writing center. I always thought I had sufficient knowledge of the English language and taking time out of my busy schedule to attend a section with a tutor was absurd.

  • Revising Process In English 101

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    Being in English 101 has impacted three different types of writing processes: drafting, revising, and editing. Before I started this class, I never made drafts; I only did pre-writes and the final copy of the essay. Now, I do the pre-writes, then type it and make the draft, and then fix any errors in it. Another writing process that has improved is revising because now instead of reading what I wrote myself, I let my friends, classmates, and teachers read it to see if they understand what I’m writing and if they see any errors. This makes my editing process easier because I know what mistakes I made.

  • Ap English Language And Composition Class

    269 Words  | 2 Pages

    I took AP English Language and Composition during the 2016-17 school year. My overall grade in the class was an A. Participating in this class taught me invaluable lessons about how to convey my ideas clearly both in written and spoken word. In-class essays and the rigor of larger projects taught me to focus not only on what I was writing, but also how I was writing it. Techniques for editing and reading that I learned in AP Lang have made it easier to read my writing with more self-awareness, and also to consider how it will be interpreted by my audience and what I can do to influence that interpretation. Having taken AP Lang, I now feel more confident approaching nearly any English-related assignment, and know that I have the skills necessary
