Course Description ENGL 1113 is the first in a sequence of two courses; this course introduces students to academic writing, basic research, and MLA documentation. Course work will include three 750+ 1000 word essays (all revisable), miscellaneous assignments that include the following: quizzes, in-class exercises, peer reviews, summaries, critical responses, mid-term exam, and final exams (WR 2 students will have two final exams--one in Comp I and one in WR 2).

Prerequisites Appropriate CPT or ACT score, or completion of ENG 0923 and ENG 0933 with a grade of “C” or better, or permission of the Associate Dean. For more information about prerequisites, see Little, Brown, page xi-xiii.

Next Course in Sequence English 1213: Composition II

Course Objectives This class focuses on developing the techniques that will be crucial for your success in college, your profession, and your life. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:  Analyze academic writing situations to determine purpose, audience, and focus for a written composition.  Choose the best possible words to communicate clearly and effectively.  Construct sentences that emphasize your meaning and make your writing interesting.  Think critically to develop and support thesis statements that make specific, arguable claims.  Create a coherent, unified essay with an orderly progression of ideas.  Write focused, detailed, coherent paragraphs that develop your ideas with evidence appropriate to the academic situation.  Incorporate responsible and appropriate sources into your writing by quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, and documenting according to MLA guidelines.  Read, comprehend, and respond to college-level texts. Important: I assume that you know and practice the fundamentals of grammar. Thus, we won’t focus on acquiring those basic skills in this class. (That said, your Little, Brown textbook devotes several chapters to grammar/mechanics and I strongly suggest you use the text as a reference to refresh and/or improve your skills, as necessary.)

Important: The Little, Brown Handbook is customized for TCC and can be purchased from one of our four campus bookstores. If you choose to use editions other than those listed above, you should photocopy the Table of Contents from the current assigned edition(s) in order to ensure that you complete the appropriate assigned readings. (Reserve copies of both texts are held in the Southeast Campus (SEC) library and in the SEC Writing Center.)

Required Supplies: Our college classrooms don’t have supplies.  Portable stapler – I will not accept unstapled 2+ page assignments  2 green examination books for in-class writing and the final written exam (available in the TCC bookstore)  Yellow, pink, and green highlighters – for highlighting readings and use during peer reviews  Pens, pencils, paper for note taking – you are expected to come prepared to take notes

Technical Skills and Technology You should be comfortable with the following:  using a computer (changing font, spell check, etc.)  using email for communication  sending an email attachment  navigating the Internet  using an Internet search engine

All communications to you about TCC and course assignments will be sent to your TCC Outlook account. You must use this account to send and receive email any official College correspondence.

Teaching Methods Each class period will involve a variety of activities including lecture, discussion, group work, quizzes, and writing. For more information, see pages xxiii-xxv in Little, Brown.

Assignments Assignments should be submitted by the dates listed on the Assignment Schedule, which is in the Course Information content area of our Blackboard site. When instructed, all assignments are to be uploaded to Blackboard. Assignment files should be labeled according to last name and name of the assignment: lastname_essay1, lastname_essay2, etc. When you have correctly submitted your assignment, an exclamation point (!) will appear in your grade book in place of an empty space.

______01.09.15 -2 of 10- ENGL 1113 3 Assignments should follow standard MLA-style formatting and citation guidelines. I expect all typed work to conform to this format.

Assessment Course work will be measured in terms of engagement in the learning community as “makers of knowledge" (active in-class participation, quality of thought and content, precise use of the English language, and appropriateness of style). The majority of your grade will come from your written work. Papers and other written assignments, including the final written exam, will be graded using the criteria described on pages xvii-xii in Little, Brown. Other assignments will be graded according to your demonstrated understanding of the skill or concept addressed in the assignment. Do not email assignments or leave assignments in my mailbox unless prior arrangements have been made with me.

*FINAL EXAM Final EXAM DATE EXAM TIME Tuesday/ December 8th 12:00 pm –2:00 p.m.

English Professors assign "I" grades only when genuine emergencies prevent a student from completing the class and/or from withdrawing before the deadline and only when the student is earning a satisfactory ("C" or better) grade. Please do not contact me at the end of the semester to ask what you can do to raise your grade. As per FERPA (the student privacy policy), I can speak only with you regarding your grade; please don’t have anyone contact me on your behalf.

Penalty Waiver Form (PWF): The Penalty Waiver Form is available on Blackboard under “Syllabus and Other Info” (a copy is attached to this document). This non-transferable form allows you a one-time exemption from the late work policy for one major essay. Your paper will be due a few days later, usually the next class period. (The PWF due date will be on the essay assignment sheet.) Your paper is not late if you properly use the PWF. To be clear, using the PWF allows you a few extra days without penalty to work on one of your two major essays or a re-schedule of the in-class critical response. The PWF does not cover in-class exercises, quizzes, homework, or peer reviews.

Late Work: Daily assignments are due at the beginning of class and are considered late if submitted after assignments have been collected. Do not email assignments or leave assignments in my mailbox unless prior arrangements have been made with me. Late work is not accepted and missed quizzes/in-class work cannot be made up. In other words, if you miss a class, regardless of the reason, you cannot submit your assignments after the class or make-up missed in-class work. You will receive a “0” for missed work. The penalty for late submission of essays 1 and 2 without the PWF is one letter grade for each day late. No major papers are accepted 72 hours or more beyond the due date unless you have made prior arrangements with me. Late essays without a PWF may be graded at the end of the semester and are ineligible for revision.

Extra Credit: I will create two assignments during the semester worth ten pts each (TBA). If we have time for a Quiz Bowl, it will be worth five extra credit points and is taken the week before finals. You may also accumulate up to 30 extra credit points (5 per workshop) for attending the scheduled Writing Center workshops (schedule pending).

Attendance Do not underestimate the importance of attending class regularly, arriving on-time and prepared (with textbooks and other materials, like hardcopy of the readings), and participating earnestly in class discussions and activities. Please plan to attend class regularly because in-class work cannot be duplicated outside the classroom and I have a strict attendance policy. If you are enrolled on the first day of class, you will be counted absent if you don’t attend. If you are unable to attend class, check “Announcements” in Blackboard for assignments and links to handouts, when available. Do not email me for assignment information without first checking Blackboard. Never ask me “if you missed something in class.” Assume the answer is always yes. With regard to all absences, please do not send me emails with excuses for non-life threatening situations. You can, however, send me an FYI email but it’s not required. However, if you have a life-threatening situation please contact me as soon as possible so we can negotiate a possible solution for finishing the course, if you are in good academic standing in the course (a “C” or above). Likewise, if you know weeks in advance you are going to miss one specific class, we may be able to negotiate a solution for turning in work prior to the absence if you are in good academic standing in the course. In the case of prior notification, you may be allowed to turn in the assignments prior to the due date but will still be marked as absent. Remember, this is not a self-paced course and, therefore, the due dates apply to all students.

______01.09.15 -4 of 10- ENGL 1113 5 On-time arrival is also required. I will not accept your work if you turn it in late. That means anytime after 12:45. It is distracting to me as well as your classmates when you are late, need directions repeated, or haven't finished your work on time. In fact, I may not accept your work. Also, I will count tardiness toward the missed class total. Arriving unprepared for class (e.g., didn’t print the reading or didn’t bring a green examination book for the critical response) may impact your grade as well. If you need to print out information, for example, during class time, I will count the time missed toward your missed class total. (There are no printers in the class rooms.)

OVERVIEW OF ATTENDANCE POLICY  Absence for any reasons is an absence. Do not email me with excuses, but you may email to give me a heads up.  Missing 2 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 2 hrs./40 mins.) may organically lower your final grade.  Missing 4 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 5 hrs./20 mins.) results in a letter grade reduction of your final grade.  Missing 6 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 8 hrs.) means you will either be dropped from the course (“AW”) for unsatisfactory progress or receive an “F” as a final grade. Tardiness will count toward missed class total.  You may not make-up any missed misc. work due to absence, with the exception of pre-arranged and negotiated absences. (You are still marked absent.)  You are considered absent if you use class time to print assignments, readings, or prepare yourself for the work at hand. This time will count toward your missed class total.

Revision Policy You may revise and re-submit either/both of the two major essays. Revisions should be accompanied by a 250- 300 word letter explaining the specific improvements you’ve made, based on my feedback and on the readings from the course texts. If the letter convinces me that you have made significant and informed changes, I will grade the revision and replace the original grade. If the letter does not convince me that you have studied appropriate materials to revise effectively, or if you submit a revision without the letter, I will not grade your revision. Note: plagiarized essays are ineligible for revision.

Plagiarism Please see definitions of plagiarism in your Little, Brown Handbook. All written work is submitted to SafeAssign, a program that checks for plagiarism. If you submit an assignment containing plagiarism, and it is your first offense, you will receive a 0 for that assignment. To remain in the class, you are required to send me an email (1) defining plagiarism, (2) explaining why your paper constitutes plagiarism, and (3) outlining how you intend to avoid plagiarism in the future. If I’m convinced that the plagiarism occurred accidentally and that you understand plagiarism, I may allow you to rewrite the assignment, but I am not obligated to do so. A rewrite will not be permitted for cases in which the plagiarism appears to be deliberate and/or extensive. A second offense will result in a grade of F for the assignment and I will report you to the Dean of Student Services for violation of TCC’s policies on academic integrity. In addition, you may also fail the course.

Academic Dishonesty and Misconduct Policy See p. xxvii in Little, Brown.

Conduct All communication in this class, including individual emails to me, telephone conversations, and/or face-to-face dialogue should be professional in content and format. In terms of assignments, sloppiness in spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation, etc. may result in a failing grade, as may lack of professionalism in terms of tone, attitude, and language.

______01.09.15 -5 of 10- ENGL 1113 6 Because I will not discuss grades or assignments with parents, students are responsible for monitoring their progress. To understand why you may have received a particular grade on an assignment, you should follow these steps: a.i.1. Verify that you followed the assignment requirements; a.i.2. Read over any comments that I have made on that assignment; a.i.3. Consult the appropriate grading rubric. I am happy to clarify any comments that you may not understand. I encourage students to come to me if they want individual assistance with writing, reading, or other course materials.

Non-participation, Drops, and Withdrawals Students are responsible for understanding TCC’s policies, including those pertaining to satisfactory academic progress and federal financial aid. For more information, see http://www.tulsacc.edu/12455/ Last day to drop course for full refund: Sunday, November 9th Last day to change from credit to audit or withdraw from 16-week course with W: Friday, November 13th

 The instructor will issue WNs (“withdrawal no-show”) for those students who do not attend the two weeks of a sixteen- week class.  For all TCC courses, the last day to withdraw (course appears on transcript with grade W), or change from credit to audit, shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. For a sixteen-week course, the last day to withdraw is Friday, April 10. Students should be aware that withdrawing from courses and changing from “for credit” to “audit” is likely to affect their financial aid.  English Professors issue Incompletes(I) only when genuine emergencies prevent students from completing the class, and/or from withdrawing before the deadline, which means that Is are rarely given. Furthermore, English professors will issue an I to only those students who are earning a C or higher at the time of the I request. Important: Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate a withdrawal (W) from a course or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawing from a course and/or changing to audit after the drop/add period may alter the financial aid award for the current semester and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC.

ADA Policy Students with documented disabilities are provided academic accommodations through the Educational Access Center (918-595-7115) or Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (918-595-7428/TDD-TTY 918-595-7434). If any student is in need of academic accommodations from either office, it is the student’s responsibility to advise the instructor so an appropriated referral can be made no later than the first week of class. Students may also contact the disabled Student Services Offices directly at the telephone numbers indicated. Academic accommodations will not be provided unless appropriate documentation is provided to the Disabled Student Services Office to support the need.

Institutional Statement Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC Student Handbook, TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in the Class Schedule.

Computer Services Acceptable Use Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students. Use of TCC computing resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of education, research, and community service. Student use of technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student Activities or Dean of Student Services office.

Learning Support Services The following services are available at the designated locations on the TCC college campuses to assist the student in this course:

Cancellation of classes due to inclement weather or emergencies There occasionally are circumstances such as extreme weather conditions or emergencies that may require the College to cancel classes and/or close campuses for a short period of time. During these times, this information will be shared with the local TV and radio stations for general announcement. Information will also be posted on the TCC website at www.tulsacc.edu. If this situation occurs, persons should not attempt to call the College to leave a message or confirm specific class closings. Normally, if classes are closed because of inclement weather or emergency conditions, all classes at all locations will be canceled. TCC Alerts is another College resource to communicate emergency and weather related information about college closings to all students, faculty and staff. Available message formats include voice message, email and text. TCC Alerts is a free service; however, if you select to receive text message (SMS) alerts, you may incur standard text messaging charges depending upon your calling plan and carrier. Sign up information can be found on the TCC website under the Campus Police link.

Syllabus and/or Course Agenda Changes Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing and on Blackboard. I will assign the following chapters from Little, Brown textbook and TSIS text throughout the semester but they will be announced in accordance with your scheduled reading and writing for the Formal Essays. Read Little, Brown Chapters 1 through 4, Chapters 6,7& 8; Chapters 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 23, 24, 25, 26. It is likely that we will skip around with these chapters and only use parts of the chapters in accordance with what I see happening in your writing. In other words, if the class as a whole seems to have trouble with some of the major grammar issues, we will focus on that as long as time is available. i
