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), it 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 familiarize students with different types of essays and with the basic research paper mechanism for those interested students (optional).

內容
學習評量方式
1. 4 essays (60% =15% each essay). (Pay more attention to your revision. It involves not just editing, but sometimes also an entire structure change. Using simpler diction, the final mark will be deducted. )
2. 2 weekly journal entries (10%)
3. Attendance: 15% (2% deduction for each absence or extreme tardiness. Active participation also counts.)
4. Peer review bonus: (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.” 8%
5. Mid-term + final: 20%
6. If you want to convert my final grade to a letter grade, the following is the conversion chart American Universities usually adopt: A= over 90, A- = 85-89, B+ = 80-84, B = 75-79, B- = 70-74, C= 65.
