課程簡述 This course is a two-semester, required one for DFLL students. Based on the foundation students have already acquired in the 1st yr. (paragraph writing), we will concentrate on essay writing. I intend to start this Fall with a review and a mutual understanding about what students have learned in English Composition (I). Then I will proceed to reach an agreement on the amount of assignment each week. The ultimate goal is to get students familiarized with different types of essays and with research paper mechanism for those interested students (optional).

學習評量方式
1. 4 essays+ mid-term + final (including your progressive revision points) (80%). (Pay more attention to your revision. It involves not just editing, but sometimes also an entire structure change.)
2. Attendance+ participation: 20% (2% deduction for each absence or extreme tardiness. Active participation counts.)
3. Peer review performance instructions: (presentation of your comments, summarizing and critical thinking ability) E. g.: provided peers with specific, constructive written feedback: 0-5 pts; participated actively in discussion (spoken feedback) of each paper: 0-5 pts; wrote specific response to peers’ feedback: 0-5 pts. Be specific. Don’t write “You have done a good job” or “Your paper was interesting.” Reviewers please always sign your Chinese name.
4. If you want to convert my final grade to a letter grade, the following is the conversion chart American Universities usually adopt: A+ ≥95, A= over 90, A- = 85-89, B+ = 80-84, B = 75-79, B- = 70-74, C= 65. D≤60
