The capabilities behind the syllabus
These outcomes translate the source material into the skills and reasoning students are expected to demonstrate.
- 01Develop focused academic arguments for a defined audience and purpose.
- 02Use research to support claims rather than replace original analysis.
- 03Apply literary-analysis and persuasive-writing techniques.
- 04Document sources using appropriate academic conventions.
- 05Revise writing for organization, clarity, evidence and style.
- 06Complete a sustained research process through staged milestones.
How the work develops through the course
The sequence matters because later work depends on vocabulary, evidence, concepts or skills introduced earlier.
Where performance is measured
Composition II gets difficult when research replaces the writer's own argument
The difficult part is usually turning reading or practice into clear applied work.
- A source can support a claim without becoming the claim itself.
- The four-week schedule compresses topic selection, proposal, research, drafting and revision.
- Literary analysis and persuasive research use evidence differently.
- The Gordon Rule means the volume and quality of writing both matter.
