English 102: Writing as a Way of Knowing, Synthesis Assignment

Choose any two of the readings assigned prior to November 16th on the course syllabus and, using the techniques we have discussed, write an essay thoroughly demonstrating how individual aspects of those pieces can be synthesized to form a new idea. You must directly engage with the texts you choose in formulating your synthesis. This means you will have to make use of direct quotations and examples from the texts you discuss. Use the latest MLA Style Guide for formatting both the citations within your paper (in-text/parenthetical citations) and your “works cited” page at the end of your paper. The course text, Emerging, is the only text you should be referencing for this paper. Consult the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (Purdue OWL) website for detailed help with all aspects of proper MLA style formatting:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Assignment Guidelines:

Assignments should be formatted as follows:

• 12-point font
• Times New Roman
• 1” inch margins
• Double-spaced
• Page numbers and your last name in the upper right-hand corner of every page
• 3-5 pages in length (this means at least 3 full pages of text, not 2 full pages and half of a third)

Due Date:

Due as Microsoft Word file attachment in Canvas by Thursday, November 16th at 11:59pm

Determination of Grades:

Papers receiving a final grade in the “A” range will be, simply put, exemplary. That is, they will be well written in maintaining coherence from point-to-point, sentence-to-sentence, paragraph-to-paragraph. The “A” paper will have rare to no grammatical errors in spelling, punctuation, and the like. In my experience, conferencing with me about drafts of your paper before the due date make achieving this more likely.

Papers receiving a final grade in the “B” range will be, for lack of a better word, good. They will be generally well written but have some minor issues with maintaining coherence, stating and supporting ideas, and making transitions from one idea to another. In addition, the “B” paper will have some infrequent grammatical errors.

Papers receiving a final grade in the “C” range will be simply adequate. They will display some inconsistency in supporting their ideas and maintaining coherence throughout, and will have more frequent grammatical errors while still being of good enough writing quality to make their points discernible.

Papers receiving a final grade of “D” will be of the required length, but have significant enough issues in the areas described above to make their overall points indiscernible due to inconsistency and poor writing.

Failing papers will be those not meeting the minimum requirements of the assignment as laid out in this prompt.
