Welcome to English 1002 Composition and Literature! Together I hope we can discover 
some pretty neat things about literature, our culture, and ourselves through poetry, drama, 
and fiction. 
First and foremost, though, this is a writing course and it is designed to improve skills in 
critical thinking and analytical expression based on the reading ofliterary texts. We will 
write expository and persuasive papers developing a central idea that responds to our 
readings. 
Requirements: 
Written papers: We will write 2 papers in response to our readings. The papers are worth 
100 points each. Papers will be graded on focus, arrangement, development, process, and 
style and mechanics. All papers are to be typed double-spaced and your name and section 
number placed in the upper left-hand corner. There will also be a group 
presentation/paper dealing with an author. This will be worth 50 points. Please be aware 
that I generally do not accept late papers without prior approval or a really great excuse. 
Please talk to me if you are having trouble. Late papers will be lowered one letter grade 
for each day late. All papers must be completed to pass this course. 
Reading Response: In addition to the papers we will write a series of 10 one-page 
responses to selected readings. You will keep these in a note book and you will turn them 
in at the end of the semester. This is worth 100 points. (More about this in a handout.) 
Class Participation: Read your assignments. There is a lot ofreading required in this 
class and we will have many discussions around them. If you don't read the assignments, 
the discussion can't happen. The class depends on active involvement from everyone. 
Expect about 10 pop quizzes. I will not add points to the grading scale but will take 
points off your total. 
Final: There will be a 50 pt short essay/fill in the blank comprehensive final. 
Plagiarism: My policy on plagiarism (presenting another person's written work as your 
own) is simple-- if you do it, you flunk the course. Here is the Department's statement 
concerning this: 
Any teacher who discovers an act ofplagiarism--"The appropriation or 
imitation of language, ideas, and/or thoughts of another author, and 
representation of them as one's original work" (Random House Dictionary 
of the English Language)--has the right and the responsibility to impose 
upon the guilty student an appropriate penalty, up to and including 
immediate assignment of a grade of F for the course, and to report the 
incident to the Judicial Affairs Office. 
See me if you are having trouble or doubts about what plagiarism is or if you need help 
correctly incorporating source material into your paper. If you receive a "P" on the top of 
your paper at some point you will know that there is a problem. 
Class Attendance: Students with more than 5 absences should expect a lowered grade. 
Interaction among members of the class is vital to the to the learning experience. If you 
aren't here, it can't happen. If there is a problem, please talk to me. 
Grading Scale: 
As you can see, you can receive a total of 400 points in this class. Grades will be assigned 
as follows: 
360-400= A 
320-359= B 
280-319= c 
Any score under 280 will receive NC 
College policy states that you must receive a C or better for the course; any course grade 
lower than a C will be counted as "NC" and must be retaken. (Students can receive a Dor 
Fon individual assignments, however.) 
Writing Center: 
If you need help with particular writing problems, help is available in the Writing Center 
(WC) in Coleman Hall, room 301. The WC is not a proofreading service, however. I may 
refer you to the WC if I find consistent errors or weaknesses in your papers. 
Special Needs: Students who have special needs and seek accommodations, please 
contact the Director of Disability Services at 581-6583. 
Disclaimer: If necessary, the syllabus can change-- particularly ifl find that there are 
students that do not do the reading assignments. If you feel that we are moving too fast or 
too slow, tell me and we can change things.
