Course Description

Building on the key concepts of writing and rhetoric emphasized in ENC 1101, ENC 1102 further strengthens students’ understanding of the work that writing and research do in the world. The primary and secondary research at the heart of ENC 1102’s semester-long inquiry projects invites students to identify, analyze, and contribute effectively to the complex, real-world rhetorical situations that animate their academic, professional, civic, and personal lives. Through a sequence of writing and research tasks, students learn to continually revisit earlier ideas, refine emergent findings and questions, and trace the development of ideas and arguments across multiple sources and genres. In addition to generating new knowledge, the research process also occasions opportunities for students to interrogate and revise their own conceptions of writing and research.

There are 4 major student learning outcomes for this course which you can find below or here.

Outcome 1: Students will be able to analyze and synthesize complex texts in ways that demonstrate an understanding of the situated and intertextual nature of writing and research.

Possible pathways for demonstrating this outcome include:

  • The writer using complex texts in strategic, focused ways to both enter into and respond to ongoing inquiry. This might include summarizing, citing, applying, challenging, re-contextualizing, and/or synthesizing relevant background texts.
  • The writing is intertextual, meaning that a “conversation” between texts and ideas is created in support of the writer’s goals.
  • The writer assessing the inquiry and writing choices of other writers to inform their own inquiry and writing decisions.
  • The writer responsibly using community-appropriate conventions for citation (e.g. MLA or APA).

Outcome 2: Students will engage in a recursive, inquiry-based writing and research process that is meaningful for a specific community.

Possible pathways for demonstrating this outcome include:

  • The writer developing and framing a research question or problem that matters to a specific community.
  • The writer researching, developing, and employing community-appropriate research and analytical methods.
  • The writer working flexibly and iteratively with primary and secondary research, including designing, adapting, and where necessary revising research questions and methods given emergent discoveries.
  • The writer using and synthesizing multiple kinds of evidence gathered from various sources and genres (e.g. library research, interviews, surveys, observations, textual analysis, cultural artifacts) in order to support writing goals.
  • The writer demonstrating substantial and successful revision by creating successive drafts that show global improvement and/or respond to substantive issues raised by instructor and peer feedback.

Outcome 3: Students will be able to interpret their research findings in order to produce arguments that matter to specific communities by addressing real-world exigencies.

Possible pathways for demonstrating this outcome include:

  • The writer producing at least one argument that involves analysis, which is the close scrutiny and examination of evidence, assumptions, and counterarguments in support of a larger set of ideas.
  • The writer persuasively articulating the stakes of at least one argument (why what is being argued matters).
  • The writer demonstrating a clear understanding of their audience and why their argument matters to that audience, with various aspects of the writing (mode of inquiry, content, structure, appeals, tone, sentences, and word choice) being addressed and strategically oriented to that audience.

Outcome 4: Students will examine their own conceptions of writing and research in response to their inquiry, reading, and writing throughout the course.

Possible pathways for demonstrating this outcome include:

  • The writer employing acquired vocabulary for discussing the roles that writing and research play in a given community.
  • The writer considering the technologies and research methods that mediate writing, research, and the construction of knowledge.
  • The writer using acquired vocabulary for discussing their writing and research practices, including reflecting on their own writing situations using terms such as genre, discourse conventions, and rhetorical situation.
  • The writer demonstrating a meta-awareness of their growth as a writer and researcher over time by reflecting on their writing and research practices and products and making claims about their learning.

Course Activities

Assignments

  • You will have five major assignments that will, together, compose your semester-long research project. These assignments consist of:
    • A draft of a research proposal
    • A revised proposal
    • An annotated bibliography
    • A research report
    • An e-portfolio compiling your work
  • In addition to these five assignments, you will be participating in discussion board posts, peer review sessions, and assorted reflections that you will compile for your final portfolio.

Exams

  • Your final exam date is Friday, December 11th, 10 AM-12:50 PM. Your final e-portfolio, including drafts, final drafts, and a cover letter, will LIKELY serve as your final grade for this class. I will send out an announcement ASAP if I get new information on this from the department.

Extra Credit

  • This course does not offer extra credit.

Late Work and Revisions

  • All assignments will be due by the listed date. Late work will be accepted up to 24 hours past the initial due date with no penalty. No late work will be accepted after this time. The assignments in this course build upon each other and it is important to keep up with them in order to understand the curriculum.  (However, if you’re having trouble with something or find yourself in difficult circumstances, don’t hesitate to email me and I’ll see what I can do. Life happens.) 
  • You are allowed to revise all assignments and turn them in for a higher grade no later than a week after you receive your initial grade from me. For example, if you turn in an assignment on Monday, receive your grade on Friday, you will have until the following Friday to turn in a revised version of the assignment for a higher grade. Rules regarding revising assignments:
    • You cannot revise assignments that were turned in incomplete.
    • Late revisions will not be accepted. 
    • You may NOT revise the final portfolio.
  • I will aim to have all minor assignments (reflections and discussion board posts) graded 4-5 days after they're turned in, and all major assignments graded 7-10 days after they're turned in. 

Required resources/actions:

  • Students should plan on attending class via Zoom once a week on the date we as a class select OR view the recorded Zoom session afterwards. In addition, you should plan on having 2-5 hours worth of reading and/or writing assignments for homework outside of class. 
    • To view upcoming or recorded Zoom meetings, go to the page labeled "Zoom" in the webcourse.

Policy on Research and CITI Training in ENC 1102

Absolute Requirements for any ENC 1102 Requiring Research on Human Subjects

This course will focus on scholarly inquiry about (the focus of your course). All students will be required to produce a scholarly topic on one of the focus topics. This inquiry may include (but does not have to include) surveys or interviews of human subjects, and therefore, all students will be required to complete CITI training for the protection of human subjects during scholarly inquiry. Projects for this course will entail very minimal risk to participants, and any projects that involve vulnerable populations (e.g. children under 18, pregnant women, medical patients, prisoners) or ask research subjects about illegal activities (e.g. underage drinking or illegal drug use) will be disallowed in this course.

    • Any student who wants to conduct research on human subjects will have to take the online CITI training and must show me a certificate of completion prior to engaging in human subjects research (Deadline for this is listed in the Course Schedule at the bottom of the syllabus). The training can be found at http://citi.research.ucf.edu. 

 

Activity Submissions

Unless stated otherwise, all assignments should be submitted through Canvas as a word document. Discussion board posts require students to post comments on the specified board through Canvas as well. If for some reason Canvas is giving you trouble, you may email me your assignment as a word document at madison.brake@ucf.edu. 

Attendance/Participation

Because we are having classes over Zoom, students are not required to attend Zoom sessions in person. I encourage you to attend if possible, as it will allow you to ask questions and me to clarify instructions as needed. All Zoom sessions will be recorded and I ask that you view these recordings on Canvas if you are unable to attend the initial Zoom session. During Zoom sessions, please mute your microphones if you are not speaking and set your name to whatever you would prefer I address you as in class. 

 

The Undergraduate Catalog states, “Reasons for acceptable absences may include illness, serious family emergencies, special curricular requirements (e.g., judging trips, field trips, professional conferences), military obligations, severe weather conditions, and religious holidays.”

 

If you are unable to attend or view Zoom sessions, or are unable to complete course work for any reason, please email me. This has been a trying year and I know this mode of learning is not ideal for everyone. While it's important to keep up with the course work as much as possible since all assignments will be building on one another, I want to try and be flexible with you all and prevent undue stress. 

Make-up Exams and Assignments

Per university policy, you are allowed to submit make-up work (or an equivalent, alternate assignment) for authorized university-sponsored activities, religious observances, or legal obligations (such as jury duty). If this participation conflicts with your course assignments, I will offer a reasonable opportunity for you to complete missed assignments and/or exams. The make-up assignment and grading scale will be equivalent to the missed assignment and its grading scale. In the case of an authorized university activity, it is your responsibility to show me a signed copy of the Program Verification Form for which you will be absent, prior to the class in which the absence occurs. In any of these cases, please contact me ahead of time to notify me of upcoming needs.

Assessment and Grading Procedures

This is a Gordon Rule course which requires you to complete at least four substantial writing assignments (in this course, your Research Proposal, your Annotated BIbliography, your Research Report, and your Final Portfolios). To meet that requirement you must turn in all major writing assignments in order to pass the course. Additionally, you must have at least a C- overall to pass the course; while you can get a D on an individual assignment, you cannot pass the course with a D or an incomplete. Furthermore, the grade "NC" can be assigned at my discretion to" students who complete all course work, attend most or all classes, but who do not meet the university requirements to pass the course."

*All major assignments will receive instructor feedback. I am using “Shadow Grading” this semester, which means that after you turn in an assignment, I will give you a grade. You will then have one week from the time you receive this grade to revise and resubmit your major assignments for a higher grade. As mentioned before, in order to be eligible for resubmission, your initial submission must be complete. Incomplete assignments are not eligible for revision.
