Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

An introduction to reading and writing in the academic disciplines. Students with credit for ENGL 199 may not take this course for further credit. Writing.

COURSE DETAILS:

English 199W introduces students to the practice of scholarly writing. Focusing specifically on the research genres, it addresses the conditions students encounter as readers at university, and the expectations they must meet as writers at university. Accordingly, students should be prepared to read and master complex and often lengthy scholarly materials from a variety of disciplines, and to concentrate on developing their own ability to compose rigorous scholarly argument. Assuming students’ competence at sentence level, and presupposing some experience of the contexts of university writing, ENGL 199W is neither a remedial course nor one suitable for writers seeking ESL instruction.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
