Course Description
This course will help you
write prose
that is clear and informative. Clear thinking is the first step in reaching this goal. The class discussions, quizzes, and essay assignments have been especially designed to develop your critical thinking skills in this regard.
Another key ingredient in the ability to write strong prose is
active reading.
You must be able to take apart a piece of writing and analyze it on an abstract level. Leonardo da Vinci would never have been able to paint his Mona Lisa if he hadn't done his homework about human anatomy. The same goes for each of you--except you will be studying the flesh, blood, and bones of written prose. This active form of reading will help you when it comes time to do a little creating of your own on the printed page.
Average Workload Per Week
The average week in WR 122 will involve about 10-15 minutes per day of outside readings or watching video documentaries. There are only three essays. The first is a minimum of 2.5 pages long, the second is 3.5 pages long, and the third is 4.5 pages long.
Instructional Approach
This course is arranged chronologically and employs a modular design. Each week, students should complete all assignments listed in that week's lesson module. These modules can be accessed by clicking the "Learning Modules" folder on the Course Menu.
Due dates
for each week's assignments will be listed in the
Course Calendar
link which is available on the Course Menu.
All submissions will by due
by
midnight
on the date specified.
Assignments within the modules may direct students to use many of the tools contained in Blackboard, including the Assignment dropbox, Discussion Board, and Quizzes. These tools will be accessible both from within the weekly learning modules, as well as from the Course Menu.
Communication Guidelines
Communicate
by using the Blackboard e-mail system which can be accessed from the Course Menu. You can use Blackboard e-mail to send a private e-mail to your instructor and/or classmates. I will be checking email in Blackboard daily on weekdays. E-mail sent on weekdays will be answered within 48 hours. E-mail sent over the weekend will be answered the following Monday.
If your question or comment would be of interest to other students, please post it to the corresponding weekly
Discussions
area or
Chat
board. This way other participants can help answer questions, and all participants will benefit from the answers. Your first communication assignment is to introduce yourself in the discussion topic "Introductions."
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the term, you should be able to use critical thinking to analyze, synthesize and evaluate ideas. Your essays and compositions will demonstrate whether or not you have achieved this goal.
Learning yow to write is not always a clean orderly activity. A blank page is always cleaner than one filled with ink Messes will be encouraged in this course, so long as they are not cre.

Academic writing: before you submit
The document discusses several topics related to academic writing and publishing, including plagiarism, predatory journals, cover letters, and the publication process. Specifically, it addresses how to avoid plagiarism through proper citation and paraphrasing, identifies characteristics of predatory journals, notes that cover letters usually outline the main findings and significance of the paper, and mentions following submission guidelines during the publication process.
Academic Writing: Discussing and Concluding
The document discusses academic writing, specifically discussing conclusions. It addresses whether to merge the results and discussion sections, the importance of discussing limitations, and using hypothetical-real arguments. It also covers how and why to use hedging in academic writing, revisiting claims and warranting, and whether to have a separate conclusions section. Additionally, it discusses whether results and discussion sections should be separated and common elements of discussions like revisiting the introduction, comparing to other studies, expanding on and explaining results, discussing applications and implications, limitations, and how the study advances the field. Finally, it addresses hedging in academic writing as using careful words to show claims are not absolute.
Teaching Genre in the Writing Center - Phase 1, Class 2
This document discusses academic genres and their drivers. It begins by defining academic genre as typified rhetorical actions that are conventionally used in recurring social contexts. Genre is useful pedagogically as it allows people to perform certain functions, gain legitimacy, and exhibit recognizable features determined by social expectations. The document then analyzes the differences between genres expected of high school students, undergraduates, and professors. High school students are expected to produce genres for teachers, undergraduates for professors, and professors for research communities. The stakes are higher for undergraduates and professors who must demonstrate skills and knowledge acquisition or make new research contributions. Shared features across levels include convention following but authorship expectations differ.
Teaching genre in the writing center 1
This document provides an overview of a course on teaching genre in writing centers. The course is divided into three phases. Phase 1 explores common academic genres like research articles, grants, and presentations. It examines genres beyond just introductions and looks at methods and discussions sections. Phase 2 focuses on strategies for teaching genre conventions that can be used in writing centers. These include workshops, mentor texts, and developing writing support ecosystems. Phase 3 involves implementing an intervention from Phase 2, such as a webinar or workshop, and reflecting on the experience. The goal is to move beyond theory to practical applications.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
