Description of the course:

ENGL 5302 is designed as an introduction to graduate-level scholarship in the three major fields of English studies: Literary, Linguistics, and Composition Studies. Through assigned readings, library research (of both print and electronic resources), and interviews of English graduate faculty, we will explore the following:

• What are the dominant issues (or questions or problems) in the field? Or put another way, what animates scholarly research and dialogue in Literary, Linguistics, and Composition Studies?

• What are the research methods used to explore the issues in each field?

• How do we access scholarship and research? That is, how are research and resulting data/theories shared among scholars?

• How might we participate in scholarly discourse?

The class will involve full-group discussions, small-group workshops, individual research, and shared annotations--all producing a course web site and individual portfolios (due during finals week).

Objectives of the course:

• To introduce students to issues that inform our thinking and practice as English scholars.

• To develop methods to analyze and evaluate scholarly research, theory, and professional discourse.

• To develop skills needed to investigate topics in Literary, Linguistics, and Composition Studies.

• To familiarize students with resources and tools (including documentation conventions) that further thoughtful scholarship.

• To pursue individual research interests and share results with fellow scholars.

• To develop at process of collecting, organizing, and accessing on-going research.

Required Texts:

Gibaldi, Joseph, ed. Introduction to Scholarship in Modern Languages and

Literatures. 2nd ed. New York: MLA, 1992.

Parker, Frank and Riley. Writing for Academic Publication: A Guide to Getting

Started. Superior, WI: Parley Press, 1995.

Evaluation and Grading:

Research Exercise - 15% of the final grade

Documentation Exercise - 15% of the final grade

Portfolio - 30% of the final grade

Web Site - 40% of the final grade (juried grade shared by each member of the class)

Graduate Studies Standards:

The instructor assumes that seminar members are good-faith graduate students. Bona fide graduate-school behavior is distinguished in at least four ways.

1. Students read weekly assignments on time, completely, to the last page, and they come to the seminar with serious response and a willingness to discuss.

2. Students do not assume that an assignment is legitimate only if it will be "tested." The work is done for its own sake.

3. Students expect that they will attend 100% of the time, and make home arrangements that this will happen. They don't assume that there are a certain number of allowable "skips."

4. Students assume that open and equitable discussion and critique is the soul of a graduate seminar. Everybody participates. Students don't put the burden on the teacher or on other students to originate or maintain discussion. They themselves take on the responsibility to keep some seminar members from dominating others, and they do it by offering their share of talk.

 Late Assignments: Please call me if an emergency arises and you cannot attend class. I will not accept late assignments unless you have made previous arrangements.

 Plagiarism will result in failure in the course and a recommendation for expulsion from graduate school.

Course Assignment #1 - The Resource Exercise

Date Due: Thursday, September 19th, at the beginning of class

Page limit: 5 pages (not including title page)

Materials to use from the Bell Library: Specialty Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, and Guides, print and electronic journal/periodical indexes (including CompPile and the CCCC Online Bibliography).

Assignment: Produce a verbal "map" of your strategy for researching one of the following options (your choice):

 Linguistic Studies: How do linguists classify Tex-Mex as a language (an example of code-switching, mixed language, bilingualism, or another term)?

Composition Studies: What evidence is there that "learning" takes place in first- semester writing courses (referred to as English 101 or our ENGL 1301)?

Literary Studies: Ethnic identity formation is an important part of cultural and postcolonial studies. How do major theorists define ethnicity (as opposed to race or nationality)?

 In your "map" include:

• The sequence by which you consulted sources (where did you start and why? to what did you progress and why?).

• The most helpful sources that pointed you to appropriate publications.

• What were the related keywords or search terms that you used?

• Your sense of the complexity and/or difficulty of this question.

• What process did you use to track results and collect citations (index cards, electronic system, etc.)? How would you improve your method next time?

• A works cited list of 35 sources that directly pertain to your question. Subdivide those sources into subtopics as needed. Use correct MLA citation.

  Note: The purpose of this exercise is to indicate a strategy and the tools that work most successfully given the research question you select. I am looking not only for the results of your search but also a narrative about how you went about making decisions. I do not expect you to validate your selection of sources by actually reading the books/articles that you identify (at this point).

Course Assignment #2 - The Documentation Exercise

Conventions in documentation are exacting and change over time. But their purpose is to aid scholars in identifying, crediting, and pursuing research in the field. The "how" of documentation receives much of our attention, but even more important is the "what" and "why" of documentation.

 Think of complete and correct citation as a rhetorical strategy.

 Attached you will find excerpts from two articles.

 • The first uses MLA documentation. Change the MLA to Chicago style, marking through omitted text and clearly noting changes for text notes in the original. You may need to retype sections that you add.

 • The second uses APA. Mark the text, changing the documentation to MLA. You may want to retype the bibliography if you feel you cannot clearly mark changes on the original.

 • think about and come prepared to discuss what such changes produce in the rhetorical effect of the writing?

Rubric for grading:

Accuracy accuracy accuracy

Course Assignment #3 - The Portfolio

 At the beginning of our assigned final examination, you will hand in your course portfolio worth 30% of your final grade. It should contain the following (listed not in any necessary order):

 1. Your reflections after faculty interviews. Include discussion of the materials handed out for the interviews, if you like. Draw your reflections back to our overriding questions: Why do we research? Why do we publish?

 2. Your own assessment of the class web site as a useful tool for your graduate program. Include copies of all your drafts submitted to web site project (obviously there is a difference between where you started and the final product).

 3. An analysis of an academic journal article in terms of

• issue or question it raises and research methodology used

• style (is it readable? intended for a special audience? typical of the field?)

• reasons for incorporating theory (where in the essay, how, and why?)

• method of citing other scholarly works (where in the essay, how, and why? Is this done gracefully? Could this be a model for your own writing)?

• what form does this take (formal argument, narrative)?

The article can be one read for 5302 or for another of your graduate courses this semester.

 4. Reflective assessment about the assumptions and theories in current scholarship in one of our three fields (Literary, Linguistic, or Composition/Rhetorical Studies). How do you see yourself fitting into this discourse?

 5. A final research product from another fall 2002 graduate course. Include a short essay describing the research skills and resources you found indispensable in this project.

 6. A final assessment of ENGL 5302. What you found helpful? What you would change? What you would add?

 Limitations: Hand in nothing bigger than a one-inch binder.

Course Assignment #4 - The Web Site

 Be as user-friendly, selective, and comprehensive as possible. Lay-out decisions are entirely up to you. I will be available for consultation or play guinea-pig at any point(s) in the construction of your project. The grade for the web site will be allocated as 40% of each student's final grade.

 Required parts:

• Welcome to users and instructions on how to use the web site (its purpose, method of organization, rationale for selections, etc.)

• Definition of terms (as necessary)

• Annotations of and instructions in

&endash; Important professional organizations

&endash; Most helpful specialty encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliographies

&endash; Print and electronic indexes of journal articles/reviews

&endash; Search engines (including Boolean examples)

&endash; Documentation aids

• Listing and pertinent information about academic conferences available in the fields

• Listing and pertinent information about major journals in the fields

&endash; URL and Library of Congress number

&endash; editorial policies (including name of editor(s), submission guidelines,documentation style, appropriate submission materials

&endash; types of materials published (poetry, reviews and essay reviews, etc.)

• Annotations of Examination Reading Lists (excluding American & British Literatures)

• Links to other research/sites (as necessary)

• Correct and sufficient documentation

• Bibliography

• Helpful examples of the strategy for researching issues in each of the fields

• other inclusions of your choice

Timeline:

We will work throughout the semester, with some time for in-class workshops.

Your work must be posted by noon on December 6th (Friday). Over the weekend several faculty members and fellow graduate students will review the web site and post their observations on our WebCT site (by Wednesday of finals week). My assigned grade of the web site will be a composite of my own reflections and input from your jury of reviewers.

Each small group will select which batch of titles to research, dividing up journal titles to individual within the group. All journals (and all batches) need to be covered, but runs available only on microfilm or a series that is discontinued may not be annotated. Use your good judgment!!

 Parts to note:

• documentation style

• editorial policy

 Review of Comprehensive Examination Readings

I will give you a list of the exam readings, organized according to the various fields of English Studies. Each small group will select which batch of titles to research, dividing up single titles to individual within the group. Every source needs to be covered. Come with both hard copy and disk readable by the MACS in the writing lab.

 Your goal is to provide a helpful annotation on the source. "helpful" includes

• basic questions the source sets out to explore

• research methods used

• findings of research and conclusions

• details about the author(s) or publisher that seem pertinent

 Obviously you will not be able to read entire books for this assignment (although the articles are possible to "cover" fully. But develop a strategy for scoping out book-length studies. Such a strategy might involve reading opening materials (introductions, prefaces, etc) that often outline the contents of the book. Read the concluding chapter, which often sums up the book. Examine the table of contents and index to also get a sense of what is available.

Due Dates:

Linguistics reading list: Tuesday, October 22nd and Thursday, October 24th.

Composition and Rhetoric reading list: Tuesday, Nov 13th and Thursday, Nov 24th.
