II. COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, students will explore argument in multiple genres. Research and writing practices
emphasize summary, analysis, evaluation, and integration of secondary sources. Students will
analyze rhetorical situations in terms of audience, contexts, purpose, mediums, and
technologies and apply this knowledge to their reading, writing, and research. Students will
sharpen their understanding of how writing and other modes of communication work together
for rhetorical purposes. The emphasis of this course will be on research methods.

Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in English 1110 or a minimum English ACT score of 29.
Failure to meet a prerequisite (or corequisite) may result in students’ being dropped from the
class at any time during the term. Co-requisite: If you disenroll from one of your co-requisite
classes, you may be dropped from the other course.

Essential Skills: Communication, critical thinking, and information and digital literacy

V. COURSE REQUIREMENTS/ATTENDANCE
A. Course Requirements
Weekly Module Assignments
There will be tasks and assignments each week that must be completed. Homework is designed
to help you learn the concepts in this course. All students will write three texts plus a final
assessment. One of the texts will be a research project for which students will integrate several
sources and use formal documentation.

Other assignments will include essay drafts, workshop documents, and other homework. Please
note that these homework assignments are crucial to helping you pass the course.

Major Assignments
This semester, you will work on a semester-long research project focused on a topic of your
choice related to a “big question” in your field, major, or community. All major assignments will
be built on this topic.

The first step in your research process is to develop a research question about a societal
problem. As you progress, you will propose a solution (or solutions) to this problem. By the end
of the semester, you will create a multimodal text—such as an essay with visuals, a
presentation, or a podcast—in which you argue for your solution.

Your first essay assignment is a textual analysis. In this assignment, you will examine how
authors make their arguments. You will conduct research on your “big question,” evaluate your
sources, and analyze the arguments presented in the texts you find. Just like taking an object
 3

apart to understand how it is made, you will break down the arguments in the texts and explain
how the authors use rhetoric in your essay.

For the second assignment, the Applied Rhetorical Analysis, you will plan the public argument
you will write in the final unit. You will conduct library research on your “big question” using
the CNM library databases, which include newspaper articles, magazine articles, scholarly
articles, documentaries, podcasts, and more. The Applied Rhetorical Analysis consists of two
parts: an argument proposal, where you explain what you plan to argue in your Public
Argument, and a Source Assessment, where you explain how your sources will support your
argument.

For the final assignment, you will create a public argument, proposing a solution to the problem
you identified in your “big question.”

Discussion Board Posts

Discussions are your chance to interact with and learn from your peers. I will provide you
with a prompt or set of questions and ask you to post your response on the discussion
board. A rubric for discussions will also be provided. You will then be required to
respond to at least two of your peers as instructed.

Discussion posts will be graded. Please note that you must complete your initial
post AND responses to two peers as instructed to receive full credit for your posts.
Your first discussion post will always be due on Fridays.

I will serve as a moderator for discussion posts. This means that I will read all your
posts to provide guidance, answer questions, make sure you follow netiquette
guidelines, and comment as appropriate.

Conferences or Tutoring Appointments

You will be required to attend either a Zoom conference or a tutoring session (virtual options
are available) to discuss your drafts for each of the major assignments in this course.

B. Attendance
Attendance in this online course is essential and tracked through timely assignment
submissions and active participation, such as discussion board contributions.

Simply logging into Brightspace without completing coursework will count as an absence.

Please communicate with me if you anticipate challenges balancing school with personal,
professional, or legal responsibilities. I'm here to help, but I can only assist if you keep me
informed.

I recommend setting aside a minimum of three times a week to log into the course and
complete assignments.
 4

Guidelines for Attendance and Dropping the Course:

1. Missing the first week of class without contacting me will result in being dropped.
Fix: Email me during the first week to confirm your participation, and I will hold your
spot.
2. Failing to submit work for two weeks before June 5 may result in being dropped.
3. Falling behind to the point where passing is mathematically impossible due to absences
may lead to being dropped. I will contact you before this happens.
4. Missing more than 15% of total class hours (two weeks of work in a 15-week course)
may result in being dropped, even if you're auditing or taking the course for credit/no
credit.
5. Missing more than 30 consecutive calendar days requires me to drop you per federal
financial aid guidelines.
6. You may also drop the course yourself before the deadline if you find you cannot
complete it.

In general, students should not assume they will be dropped from the class automatically.
Absences do not relieve students of the responsibility for missed assignments. Students should
take the initiative in arranging to make up for missed work.

Please keep the following deadlines in mind:

Last day to drop without a W and get a refund: June 2.
Last day to drop with a W or change grade mode: July 18.

Students who are dropped by an instructor for non-attendance will be notified at their CNM e-
mail address. If the student believes a mistake has been made, they must contact the instructor
within two working days of receipt of the drop notification.

C. Class Participation
Your participation is valued. Actively engaging with your peers and instructor is the
foundation for succeeding in this class. Since writers need readers, you will often share your
work with your peers.

Since part of the college experience involves learning to work with others whose beliefs may
challenge your own, I expect you to always treat your peers and instructor with respect.

Hateful speech that is racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., will not be tolerated. Keeping an open
mind and engaging with perspectives that challenge yours is an important part of the learning
process. You are expected to follow netiquette guidelines in your interactions this semester.

Since this class will help you develop your critical thinking skills, you should be prepared to
explain (with credible evidence) why you believe or disbelieve something.
 5

D. Late Work and Homework Policies

Submit all work on time so that you may receive feedback from your peers and your instructor.
Assignments grow more challenging as the course progresses, so falling behind can make it
difficult to catch up.

Late Pass: Since life happens, you may submit one assignment up to one week late without
penalty. To use your late pass, see the form and directions at the end of the syllabus.

Communicate promptly about missed work; otherwise, late homework incurs a 10% per day
penalty unless waived for extenuating circumstances (as decided on a case-by-case basis by
your instructor). Keep in mind that late submissions may not receive feedback.

Major Assignment Drafts Policy

Professional writers always engage in revising and editing before publishing their work, and
these habits will improve anyone’s writing. Drafts, by definition, do not have to be perfect as
the main point is to get your ideas down on paper. Striving for perfection in drafts can
sometimes lead to writer’s block. For these reasons, drafts will be graded on a
complete/incomplete basis rather than with a traditional letter grade. You will receive full
credit for drafts provided you meet all the assignment guidelines for length, sources, etc.

Extra Credit
Students may receive extra credit for working with the CNM tutors or CNM librarians. This
means that you should be working on an assignment with the tutors or librarians, not simply
using the facilities. You may also receive extra credit for coming to office hours to discuss a
draft. Each visit is worth five extra credit points. Students may receive a maximum of 25 extra
credit points. Make sure to get a slip from the tutors or librarians if you visit them.

E. Accessibility and Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

CNM is committed to accessible learning environments that meet the needs of its diverse
students. If you anticipate or experience any barriers to learning, discuss your concerns with
the instructor or Accessibility Services as soon as possible. Accessibility Services supports
faculty in designing accessible learning environments and assists students who have disabilities
with accommodations to remove barriers where they exist.

Students with disabilities are invited to get started with Accessibility Services by filling out the
“First Time Request for Accessibility Services” on the website (www.cnm.edu/drc) or by
contacting Accessibility Services for more information (505.224.3259, DRCStart@cnm.edu).

Direct link to request form: https://cnm-accommodate.symplicity.com/public_accommodation/

Title IX
Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) does not discriminate based on sex and
prohibits sex discrimination in any educational program or activity it operates, in compliance
 6

with Title IX. This includes admissions and employment. For inquiries regarding the application
of Title IX, contact CNM's Title IX Coordinators or the Office of Civil Rights. The college’s Title IX
nondiscrimination policy and grievance procedures are available on the CNM Title IX Policy and
Procedures webpage: https://www.cnm.edu/about-cnm/title-ix-policy-and-procedures

F. Submitting Assignments
Assignment Submission Instructions
Assignments will be submitted via CNM Brightspace. If you have trouble submitting
assignments, ask your instructor for help. If you’re not familiar with Brightspace, do the
JumpStart for Learners course (the link is on the Homepage) or watch the short video or ask
another student or the instructor for help.

If Brightspace is down or you have trouble submitting your work, you may send me an email
with the assignment as an attachment and submit the assignment to Brightspace as soon as
possible.

Files submitted in Brightspace must be either a Microsoft Word Document or PDF unless
otherwise noted on the assignment. It is each student’s responsibility to ensure files have been
submitted properly.

You will receive a confirmation email once your assignment has been submitted. Save the
submission confirmation emails you receive; I will ask you to forward me a confirmation email if
you submitted an assignment and it is not showing up in my grading folder.

All CNM students may obtain free licenses of Microsoft Office 365 for use during their time at
CNM. For detailed instructions on obtaining Microsoft Office please visit the website of
Information Technology Services: Information Technology Services.

(although this does not guarantee that a student will pass).

It is College of Liberal Arts policy that all courses require a final examination/project.

B. Closure During Finals Week

In the event CNM closes during the final week of classes, final grades for students will be
calculated based on all work assessed up to that point in the course.

C. Plagiarism and Academic Integrity

Plagiarism
As members of a community dedicated to learning, students and faculty share the
responsibility for maintaining high standards of honesty and integrity in their academic work.

Students should become familiar with the CNM Academic Integrity Policy:
https://www.cnm.edu/depts/dean-of-students/academic-integrity-policy. See this policy
for CNM’s definition of plagiarism.

All assignments for this course must be your work and no one else’s. Cheating or plagiarism in
any form will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to: copying someone else’s
ideas, opinions, or theories; copying facts, drawings, or graphs that are not common
knowledge; quoting or paraphrasing someone else’s words without citation; using AI without
citation. Submitting AI-generated work as your own without instructor permission is a violation
of the academic integrity policy.

The penalty for cheating and plagiarism ranges from a zero on the assignment to expulsion
from your program.

TurnItIn will be used for some assignments in this course as a tool to help you identify when
citations are required. Your instructor will interpret the similarity reports to ensure that all work
follows academic integrity guidelines. Note that submitted papers become part of the
database.

Artificial Intelligence Policy (AI)

Writing is thinking. I expect you to do your own writing to develop critical thinking skills and
your writing voice. While AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly) can assist with certain tasks, they
 8

also have limitations, including producing biased or incorrect information and robotic-sounding
prose. Misusing these tools can undermine your learning and development as a writer. As your
instructor, I want to hear your unique voice!

The general policies below apply to all of your work in this class unless the prompt for a specific
assignment says otherwise.

Bibliographic Tools (e.g. EasyBib, Citation Machine) help you track sources that you’ve
found yourself. Use of bibliographic tools is acceptable in this class, BUT you will need to
double-check the citations they create against the information in your textbook or the Excelsior
Online Writing Center MLA guide.

Editing Tools (e.g. Grammarly) will identify errors and surface-level problems in your
writing and offer suggestions on how to fix them.
• It’s okay to use these tools to point out errors for you to correct.
• It’s NOT acceptable to use them to write or rewrite sentences, paragraphs, or
essays for you. Using AI suggestions to write your sentences will be treated as
plagiarism.

Generative AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini) will write things for you—outlines,
paragraphs, essays, etc. Using an AI tool to write for you is plagiarism.
The only acceptable use of generative AI in this class is:
• to review your own assignments for errors, in which case you will need to correct
them yourself.
• to create images for the public argument, in which case you will need to cite
them, just like any source.

Use of Chat GPT or other Generative Intelligence Tools in class will require citation, just like any
other source. We will discuss how to cite AI work in class.
• Anytime you use AI for the above approved purposes you will need to cite it and
include a comment when you submit your work explaining what you used it for.

Any use of AI that violates the above policy will be treated as plagiarism.

AI is evolving rapidly. If you discover a new use for AI that seems helpful but is not addressed in
this policy, please consult with me before using it. If you have any questions about this policy,
please contact me.

VII. OTHER
Nondiscrimination Policy
Students are considered for admission to CNM without regard to gender, race, color, national
origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or marital status.

Understand the CNM Code of Conduct

As a member of this classroom, it is your responsibility to understand, and adhere to, the CNM
codes and policies that govern and prescribe acceptable student behavior. As indicated in the
CNM Student Code of Conduct, if you, as a student, behave in a manner that is disruptive to the
educational process or violates any other provisions of the Code of Conduct, this behavior will
(generally) first be addressed by your instructor. If the behavior continues or escalates, it will be
reported to the Dean of Students Office for appropriate disciplinary action. I hope that we will
all contribute to a positive classroom environment; however, if you, as a student, demonstrate
behavior that is in violation of the Code of Conduct, according to CNM Policy, I reserve the right
to require that you leave the classroom for the remainder of that class period. Should this
occur, the incident will immediately be reported to the Dean of Students Office for further
disciplinary action.

Email Netiquette Policy

• Please avoid using language you would use in a short text in emails. Learning to write
professional emails early on is a skill that will help you as you pursue your education and
career.
• Emails that you write to me during the semester should use formal language, with a
subject heading identifying your concern. For example, “Textual Analysis” would be an
appropriate subject heading for a question regarding the first essay.
• Emails should include a salutation. For example, “Dear Prof. Lopez” or “Hello Prof.
Lopez” would be an appropriate salutation. In a formal setting like a college course
professional titles are appreciated. In my case, I am also comfortable if you address me
by my first name.
• Please close with an appropriate phrase and sign your email with your name. For
example, you could use “Sincerely,” or “Thank you for your help.”
• Use short paragraphs (in general, 3-4 lines maximum) to make the email easy to read. In
addition, be sure to skip lines between paragraphs.
• Always proofread your messages for grammatical errors.
