English 103: Composition and Critical Thinking
Los Ángeles Valley College
English 103 Online, Section 7161
Spring 2017 Late start
Instructor: Trista Payte

6. “Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge;
it is thinking that makes what we
read ours.” ~ John Locke
Office Hours: By appointment. (see the welcome letter on
Canvas)
E-mail address: [email protected] (or contact me through
Canvas)
Required Texts: All texts will be provided to you on Canvas but
I do recommend a simple
writing handbook such as the Little Seagull.
Required Materials: Access to a computer/the internet: for
email, reading assignments,
supplemental readings, and essay prompts. Yes, that’s it!
Welcome to English 103. The purpose of the course is to help
you obtain the reading, writing,
and critical thinking skills necessary for success in the
intellectual environment of the university
and beyond. We will read and think deeply about a range of
texts, and you will learn a variety of
rhetorical writing strategies to use in response to the different
occasions for writing you will come
up against as you move forward into your academic and
professional careers.
I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
Don’t ever suffer in silence; we are all
in this together.
Because this is a late start course, we will be doing the work of
a full length English class in ½ the
time. This means intensive and laborious work. Further, because

7. it is an online course, you will
have to be self-motivated and self-disciplined. If you are not
prepared to work steadily and
seriously, this is probably not the course for you.
Student Learning Outcomes
1. Write coherently organized analytical essays that demonstrate
sound reasoning, the ability to
clearly connect evidence to claims, advanced critical thinking
strategies, and an understanding of
conventions of scholarly discourse.
2. Use critical thinking and advanced research skills to
illuminate various political, social, ethical,
and philosophical ideas.
Course Objectives
l. Develop hypotheses inductively by observing examples,
patterns of analysis and effective
structures.
2. Develop hypotheses deductively by stating assumptions or
inductively derived conclusions and
substantiating them with adequate support leading to well-
defined conclusions.
3. Identify ambiguities and recognize them when developing the
premises of their argument.
4. Demonstrate the ability to suspend their judgments for a
period of time, so that they can draw
2
reasonable conclusions based on evidence and not on

8. predetermined opinions.
5. Recognize fallacies in their own predetermined points of
view and seek new positions that are
more in line with prevailing evidence.
6. Avoid weak forms of argumentation that are based on
fallacies, which are commonly found in
both inductive and deductive reasoning.
7. Recognize and employ both inductive and deductive
reasoning in writing. This includes the
ability to distinguish between fact and inference, to recognize
logical fallacies, and to identify and
work with assumptions.
8. Determine whether the conclusions follow from, or are
supported by, their premises.
9. Demonstrate the capacity to recognize and avoid the use of
both stereotype and propaganda.
10. Avoid the use of informal fallacies and be able to identify
vagueness, as well as clarify
meanings.
I. Course Assignment Breakdown
Introductory Materials (there are 4 components) = 5%
Essay 1 = 15%
Essay 2 = 20%
Essay 3 = 20%
Essay 4 = 20%
Discussion Posts and Peer Responses = 15%
Final = 5%
II. Elements of the Course

9. A. Introductory Materials: There are 4 simple assignments that
you are expected
to complete before you do any of the other work in the course.
For that reason, the
module for week one will not open until you have completed
them. They are meant
to help me get to know you, help you get to know each other a
bit, and to make
sure you learn to navigate Canvas.
B. Reading Assignments: All readings will be posted or linked
on Canvas as a way
to keep your cost down. If you cannot access a reading for any
reason, you must let
me know ASAP so that I can help you solve the problem.
Technological problems
are not a valid excuse for incomplete work.
C. Discussion Posts and Peer Responses: You will be expected
to summarize,
analyze, and reflect on the assigned readings as assigned.
Prompts will be provided
for each post, but you should also use this space to write your
own thoughts,
feelings, and ideas about the texts. In addition to posting your
response, you will
read and respond to at least two peers’ responses per prompt
post. Late posts will
not be accepted, as the discussion will move on. So get these
done on time.
D. Essays: The essays are mandatory components of the class
and you cannot pass

10. without completing all four. As a result, I will accept them late,
but you will receive
a ½ letter grade deduction for each calendar day one is turned in
past the due date.
Each time an essay is due, it will be due at 11:59pm that day.
3
Essays must be in standard MLA format:
-spaced,
-hand corner
If you do NOT know how to do this, please see the MLA
handout on the Canvas page.
III. If you are a student with a disability, please register with
Services for Students with
Disabilities (818 947-2681) to be eligible for academic
accommodation.
The Writing Center is in LARC, 2nd floor. Free services are
available there for all
students. I encourage you to take your drafts to the Writing
Center for additional
feedback.
IV. Email: Since email will be our primary communication

11. method, you will need to
check regularly. I will usually use Canvas to contact you, but I
will also use the listserv
through the college, so either check or forward your LAVC
student email. Please
email me from your student email address, or you can use
Canvas to contact me as
well. Allow me 24-48 hours to respond (although I will try to
get back to you sooner
as much as possible), especially if on a weekend. Use “Your
Full Name,” followed by
“English 103” in the subject line.
V. Drop/Add Policy: If you need to drop this class, do so before
the last drop date.
Check the LAVC schedule of classes for dates. If you do not
drop this class officially,
you will receive an "F" for this class. It is your responsibility to
keep track of those
dates.

13. Getting Help From Me:
I know that online courses can sometimes feel impersonal. I
want you to feel free to ask for
assistance at any time. But it is your responsibility to make
sure you are on top of things, and you
are making the choice to complete a high intensity, late start
course. Do your best, and I promise
to do the same. We are all in this together.
Please make sure to read the welcome letter for important
contacting info and
basic knowledge of the Canvas set up of the course, including
how the schedule will
work.
