Books & Materials The handbook and dictionary you received from the Textbook Library. Attendance Atten~ance is required. You can skip class three times this semester without affecting your grade. After that, your grade for the course will be towered by one grade for each time you're absent. Classes missed for personal emergencies and health issues will not count in your "skip total" if you provide me with documentation. A "personal emergency" must involve a newspaper clipping or other reliable account of the death or hospitalization Qf someone close to you-like, a family member, -girJlboyfriend, or best friend. -{U reaw $UCl<s that~ ha~ t-o write this stuff, but I hope you agree that it's better to make this stuff clear now than to try figuring it out during the course of the semester.) Health reasons for missing class must be documented with a healthcare professional's written opinion that you could not make class. · I will pass out an attendance sheet at the beginning of each class. It is your responsibility to sign your name on the list. If you show up late and fOfget ta ask fur the sheet at the ~nd -Of <lass, -or yoo space oot ~w. that's going to be your problem, not mine! Late Work I will not accept late work, unless we have made a previous arrangement Plagiarism I won'tiolerate plagiarism. Computer Access Computer access is, of course, a huge social justice issue. But it isn't an issue for you in terms of getting your work done for this course. U yoo tmnk ~t is, please see me 'fflflf early in the semester and~ will "COOViooe you that tt: isn't-"Or you wifl convince me that it is (which has happened once in the past seven years). Students with Disabilities If you have a documented disability and wish to receive academic accommodations, please notify me and contact the http://www.bluewillowpages.com/englishlOOl/ 8/24/2004 English IOOIG Page2 of2 Coordinator of the Office of Disability Services (581-6583) as soon as possible. E-Ma~ You are welcome to send me e-mail. Since I receive so much e-mail, however, you are required to put your full name and an appropriate subject phrase in the message's subject line. Otherwise, I might not read your message. It would be smart to keep a copy of every e-mail you send me-by putting your own address in the "cc" line, or some other means. Grading Your grade for the course will be based on the 100 points below. 90 to 100 points will receive an A, 80 to 89 will receive a B, 70 to 79 will receive a C, and 0 to 69 will receive an NC (No Credit). Paper 1: 10 points Paper 2: 30 points Paper 3: 30 .points Paper 4: 30 points The details of these assignments will be posted online and discussed in class. Grading of Written Material I will follow the grading stander-Os suggested by &stern's £ngHsb Department. Yoo will notice that the Vaftous oategoMJs are pr,ettY explicitly detailed, but that the way a teacher weighs each category is left up for grabs. In this class: A "C," "D," or "P' in any of the indvidual categories will conquer the grade for the entire paper; for example, if you have a "C" for mechanics, your paper will get a "C," no matter how good its organization, development, and so on. The lowest "A" grade will reflect a paper that receives an "A" in all categories but one, in which it receives a "B." The .. Process" category will not be considered in your grade. http://www.bluewillowpages.com/englishlOOl/ 8/24/2004
