Course Description: Writing can be difficult and sometimes intimidating, but it is also something that you already do. This course focuses heavily on writing as a process, rather than as a final product. As writers write, they need a set of strategies to help them move from thinking about a paper to polishing a final draftstrategies that can only be learned by writing consistently and often. The primary goal of this course is to create a community of writers who will help each other to define individual voice, while working together to draft, revise, and edit each other’s literary work.

Course Description: As the course title indicates, English 217 focuses on writing reflective essays. The source of most of the writing in 217 is the writer himself or herself. In essence, the course asks students to reflect and write on topics that are personally important. However, the writer's purpose is not just to express his or her deepest feelings and thoughts. The writing in 217 is intended to be shared with others and made public. So the writing has a double purpose: (1) writing to explore and discover, as well as (2) writing to explain or argue. Throughout this course we'll do lots of informal, expressive writing, but—with the help of each other and the models in the text—we'll work on transforming that writing into polished essays that reflect accepted conventions and the expectations of educated readers. Teacher Assumptions: As this is a 200-level course, I assume that you're taking this class because you're interested in personal, exploratory, and reflective writing and because you want to improve your general writing skills. I also assume that you're already competent writers, with few writing problems. If you do have difficulties, please seek help at the Writing Center on the 3rd floor of Language and Literature or from a private tutor.

What you write here is completely ANONYMOUS (your name does NOT appear after your entries!) and will NOT affect your grades in any way! Tuesday, December 16, 2003 *I liked the fact our teacher was non-native english speaker. Since this class is for foreign students, having non-native english speaker teacher gave us more understanding. Sometimes the feed back entery was kind of annoying. However, whenever I was having trouble with writing my paper, I could share some of ideas with other and gave me good start. Course web page was I would say, the best thing to have. It let us have the newest information from teacher. other things listed on #2 all helped me for this class, and far more for my future classes. I think this class was little too hard pushing, but at the same time I would say this was one of the best english class I had.* * Being in English 106i is a first advantage for us as national students. The environment will be less scary because we don't have to compete with native students who already advanced in English because this is their native language. It doesn't mean that in this main stream class national students will work harder but they will burn out and lose confidence when they have to compare themselves with native English speaking student. Language needs time to absorb and it is difficult to advance if students hadn't had many chances to communicate, to be familiar with American culture and many related aspects such as advanced technology.

Please read through both rationalesone for the English class and one for the Learning Community. Teaching Rationale English Writing is a skill that can be taught. But composition teachers do more than just teach students how to put down words on a piece of paper without making many errors, in some meaningful fashion, for some rhetorical purpose (sometimes not the student's own). Teachers should also be helping students learn how to think, recognize interesting and original thoughts, and express these thoughts in an effective manner, because then the resulting essays will be significant, relevant, meaningful, interesting, creative, original, and profound. This is the harder of the two tasks to perform. Students need to learn to evaluate other writing (both professional essays and other students' papers) to help them determine what is effective, what constitutes an interesting subject or approach. They also need much practice in writing their own essays and hearing/ seeing/getting feedback from others on whether they were effective, interesting, and clear. Reading and discussing professional essays and participating in the generation of evaluation criteria will help students be more aware of what makes for an outstanding essay.

59. Chopin Essay - Genres piece written more or less as a homework assignment, is Lesser known are his Fantasia on polish Airs op piano opus 3, and the final composition published during http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/2217/genres.htm

Chopin's Genres I am not a person who is educated in music. However, I would like to seek to describe Chopin's many genres in layman's terms, both for my visitors to be able to learn more about Chopin's music in a user-friendly manner, and for those already very familiar with Chopin's music to see how another Chopin fan sees his music. As well, being a Chopin junkie, this is my idea of a good time The Preludes When one considers all that came before Chopin, I think one couldn't help but be shocked at the radical leap forward in musical expression and composition that they represent. I think the Preludes, more than any other of Chopin's genres, were a quantum leap in the art of composition. There truly is nothing antiquated about them. I always think that any number of them could have been written yesterday and still be every bit as new and unexpected. Not every one is without some sort of precedent, but many seemed to come completely "out of the blue". The Irish composer John Field wrote Nocturnes before Chopin, and Chopin's can be seen as a tremendous expansion of the romantic, dreamy artform. However, aside from the word, "Prelude", many of Chopin's Preludes seem to be almost completely original in nature. The Nocturnes The Irish composer John Field first wrote pieces called "Nocturnes" for the piano. He was of course not the first to use a word suggesting nighttime to describe music. But Chopin developed this style of composing to heights which we will never see again. The Nocturne is technically a piece with the melody carried by the right hand, the harmony and tempo carried by the left, and written to evoke a feeling akin to the evening or twilight. Although this is accurate to some extent, Chopin used it more as a style of composition than to restrict himself to any certain mood. Yet there is still a dreamy (or maybe more accurately, "dream-state") quality about them. These are perhaps his most "romantic" pieces, and most
