2010 Update
Appeal Papers:
You are expected to “read thoughtfully and provide reasoned, concrete, and developed presentations of [your] point of view” in your papers (UCAWPE Information Booklet). In addition to responding to texts and developing sufficient examples with acceptable reasoning, passing papers must be focused and purposeful. Please note that you are also expected to have effective control over conventional written English syntax, vocabulary, and mechanics.
In both exam settings and in your take-home essay assignments, creating passing essays requires that you carefully edit and revise. In both cases, you must also create a purposeful, cohesive narrative that is sufficiently developed with examples. The benefit of the take-home version (besides not having to sit two hours in an exam setting) is that you have multiple opportunities to revise, making truly major changes and creating very good essays in response to various feedback you receive from peers, writing assistants, and writing instructors. Perhaps this longer writing process is what you require to successfully create passing work.
In your Appeals Portfolio, you have the opportunity to show that you can, and do, write passing papers in your regular (take-home) essay writing, though not in the exam setting. You can pass ELWR with a good Appeals Portfolio. Note: you must still sit the exam. (You can’t appeal the exam result if there is no result!)
The ELWR Exam is Saturday, November 20th, 10:30-12:30. Location TBA.
- Students needing exam accommodation should contact the Disability Resource Center at least one week before the exam at 459-2089 or by e-mail at drc@ucsc.edu.
Appeals Portfolios are due Monday, November 29th to your instructor.
Your portfolio must contain: • Integrative Essay #1, including a clean copy of your best revision plus early drafts and initial revisions with instructor comments (drafts with instructor comments are required). Include a copy of the assignment prompt. • Integrative Essay #2, including a clean copy of your best revision plus early drafts and initial revisions with instructor comments. Include a copy of the assignment prompt (drafts with instructor comments are required). Include a copy of the assignment prompt. • You may substitute drafts and revisions of your Field Project for one of the integrative essays only if your Field Project Essay deals analytically with texts from core course in more than just a passing way. If you wish to include your Field Project Essay, please see your instructor for approval.
Put all of this work in an envelope large enough that the essays are not folded. The envelope should be labeled legibly with your name, student ID number, college, and instructor's name on the front of the packet.
