Course Time and Place:
Important Note Regarding This
Syllabus: Quite
simply, refer to this syllabus early and often throughout the semester. The first day of class will consist of a
lecture that covers all of the items in this document, and will also include a
question and answer period. Even so, my
expectation is that you will read this syllabus, more than once, in its
entirety. Students who have not attended
the first day of class should make an extra effort to read this document
thoroughly.
A further note: This syllabus is most useful when viewed on my website, http://www.creighton.edu/~stevensj,
because in addition to the material contained in this
paper version, the online version contains interactive links to all course
handouts. The Interactive Course
Syllabus is quite user friendly and is designed to make webpage navigation
easy.
Course Summary and Objectives: To help students advance their
writing skills to the point where
they
are no longer writing in just book report style, but rather first year college
level papers. To that
end
a main focus of this course will involve learning how to develop thesis
statements. When writers
are
clever in their use of thesis statements, they are effectively setting the
paper up to argue for, to
advance,
their own opinion. Contrastingly, when
we write book reports, we merely summarize.
And
along
these lines of learning to write arguments, we will begin by reading and discussing
the arguments of other writers. We will
examine and discuss the types of Rhetoric these writers use to persuade their
readers and, in so doing, you will begin to devise
your own thesis statements and arguments.
We will cover works from Aristotle, John Locke, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas
Paine, Susan B. Anthony, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Henry David Thoreau,
Langston Hughes, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahamat Ghandi, Emma Goldman, Marian Wright Edelman, and others.
Required Texts: Creating
Other Required Materials: Three pocket folders and a floppy diskette. First pocket folder--The four major projects
must be turned in for grading in a pocket folder with all drafts and
appropriate works cited pages. Second pocket folder--contains your
syllabus and all the class handouts, as well as Emailed handouts. This second
pocket folder should be brought to every class. Third pocket folder- contains
all work returned to you, so that you have an ongoing record of all your graded
assignments. By keeping your graded assignments organized you will enable to
calculate your own grade at any given point in the semester. I will
not calculate your grade until after the final examination.
Floppy
diskette--make backup copies of all your final work and your work in progress,
so as to
avoid
lost work through computer-related problems.
Grading of Your Major Projects:
Your paper will not be graded, nor will it be considered as turned in,
unless it is accompanied by all the drafts that lead up to it.
This means you must turn in all your in-class writings as well as your
out of class writings. Until I, and peer reviewers, have read and commented on
an intermediate draft of the paper (one is typed and meets the assignment requirements
as to subject, approach, formatting, and) and you have revised in accordance
with those comments, you cannot turn in a final copy for grading.
Further Requirements: Students must supply me with a
working Email address ASAP. There will be additional assignments that do not
currently appear on the syllabus. They
may be assigned via Email or during class. You are required to check your Email
on a daily basis. If absent, you should
communicate with peers regarding
missed work, or see me during my office hours. Turn off pagers and cell
phones. Don't read outside material in
class. Don't bring food into class.
Missing Work: You must complete all drafts and
all final copies of the four major graded papers to receive credit for the
course.
Email Guidelines: Be professional in your Emails
(to me and to your peers). Treat these
as though they are business
correspondences. Make them brief.
Ask your question and I will provide the necessary information. Always
sign your first and last name. a subject heading that
includes the course number and the section number. Finally, use Email judiciously, yet understand that these policies are not
intended to discourage your questions. I
am available to answer your questions via Email, office hours, and during
class.

OSU Resources: The
Provisional Syllabus: As the semester evolves, so will
this syllabus.
Transfer Students: Bring to this class all writings
from your former class and turn it in immediately. All missed work must be made
up and is due on the next class. Provide
the name of your former instructor and the section number of that class.
Attendance from the former class will be applied to this class.
Late Registration Students: All missed work must be made up
and is due on the next class. Communicate with your peers about missed
lectures, Emails, and/or see me during office hours.
Missing the First Day of Class: If you are not a Late
Registration Student, but simply did not attend the first day of class, all missed work is
already considered late. Review the
policy on late work.
Add/Drop Information: Last day to add a course without
the instructor's signature is 8/23. Last day to add (now requiring the signature
of the instructor) is 8/30. Only the instructor can sign your add card, so give
yourself sufficient time to find the instructor prior to the deadline. The
instructor is not required to allow you late entry into the course, nor does
his or her signature guarantee you a seat. Composition courses are never
over-enrolled, nor are seats held for individuals. The last date to drop a
course with no grade, no fees charged for course, and 100% refund on
withdrawl is 8/30. The last day to
withdraw from all courses with automatic "W" is 11/8.
Students with Disabilities: If you believe you have a
disability that may affect your performance in the course, have Student
Disability Services contact your instructor who will work with that office to
implement any necessary accommodations.
Academic Dishonesty: Plagiarism is a form of academic
dishonesty in which you represent someone else's ideas or written work as your
own. All references must fully indicate the extent to which any parts of your
project are not your own work. Plagiarism will result in a grade of zero for
that assignment. Plaigarism often results through
error. Even if you are not directly
quoting someone else's work, but paraphrasing, you must make certain to give
proper credit to that author in the form of an MLA in-text citation, as well as
a citation on the works cited page of your paper. Whether by error or by
intention, plagiarism is unacceptable, and the rules pertaining to academic
dishonesty apply.
Absences: Per University policy, 4
absences carry no automatic grade reduction.*
5 absences result in a 7.5%
reduction in your final course grade. 6 absences result in a 15% reduction of
your final course grade. 7 absences result in automatic failure of the course. No exceptions, regardless of circumstances.
My Own Grading Policy on
Absences: *Although there is no automatic reduction in
the final course grade for 4 or less absences, the number of absenses that you incur (totalling
4 or less) does have an impact on your
attendance/participation/discussion grade, which is 10% of your final
course grade. The following is a general guideline for what grade to expect in
this component of the course: zero absences=100 one absence=90 two absences=75 three absences=60 four
absences=50. However, there are variables involved, such as, late work,
unsatisfactory in-class work, lack of preparation, and unprofessional
conduct. For example, if you are absent
three times you may
receive
a grade that is drastically lower than 60, perhaps to the point of zero in this
component of the course. Also, 5 minutes
late is a tardy. 3 times tardy equals
one absence. 15 minutes late is an
absence.
The Final Examination: If you do not take the final
examination you will receive an additional reduction of 5 percentage points in
the attendance/participation/discussion component of the course.
Formatting: ALL course work, with the
exception of in-class writings, must be typed. Double space.
Use a Times New Roman 12 point font. Margins must be either 1 inch or 1 1/4 inches.
Other fonts, particularly those which generate a deceptively higher page count,
are unacceptable, and such papers will receive a lower grade. This policy
applies to all course work, major and minor assignments, drafts and final turn-in's.
Asking the Instructor to Review
your Essay Drafts:
I am available to review drafts of your essay before they are handed in.
However, my preference is that you Email them as opposed to having me
read them during office hours. This
gives me time to consider the essay in greater detail.
Turning in Work: I will not ask for work that is
due. You are responsible for handing in all assignments at the end of class,
leaving it in one pile on the student desk nearest to the classroom door. No
coursework may be turned in via Email.
Missed Classes/Missed Work: It is not my responsibility to
update you by Email with regard to missed lectures and/or assignments. I
suggest that you obtain the Email address or phone number of a peer or peers
with whom you are comfortable and obtain the information from them. If you
accidentally delete a group Email, believe the Email was never received, or
have any other Email
problems, I will not forward a copy to you.
Ask a peer to do so. For issues
other than missed Emails, you have the option to see me during office hours.
Major Projects: OSU English Department
guidelines mandate that you cannot pass this course unless all four of the
major projects are turned in. Even if the project is so late that it requires a
grade of zero, the essay, and all drafts, must be handed in and the page count
must adhere to the guidelines on this syllabus, as well as other guidelines
established via handouts/Emails/lectures. Failure to hand in a major project
constitutes automatic failure of this course.
No exceptions, regardless of circumstances.
Late Work: The policies listed under this
subject heading includes drafts, final copies, all course work. Any work turned
in after the class period that it is due is reduced by 5% for each day late, including weekends,
holidays, breaks, etc. Work turned in on the due date but after the class
period has ended is one day late. Work left in my mailbox or on my desk is a
minimum of one day late. I will reduce the final grade on an essay by 5% if a
conference or peer review workshop is missed
for
any reason, including absence from class. Late work of any kind may seriously
affect your Attendance/Participation/Discussion grade, perhaps to the point of
zero as a final grade in that component of the course. However, if you miss a
peer review, you may opt to have a conference with a tutor at the writing center. The draft reviewed in that conference must be
stamped by the writing center and turned in during (not after) the next class
period to receive credit.
Late
How Work is Assigned: In three ways: through Email,
during class, on the syllabus.
Pop Quizzes: The purpose is to prepare
students for the types of questions and study habits that will be useful when taking
the final exam. Quizzes cannot be made up or retaken for any reason. In the
event of University excused absences, written documentation of the exemption
from class is required, or the appropriate OSU official may Email me. In such cases the quiz will be treated as a
"pass." In effect, it will not
be factored into your final course grade. In all circumstances other than
University excused absences the missed quiz is calculated as a zero. Quizzes usually
take place at the beginning of class.
Take-home Quizzes: They will either be Emailed to
you with a due date, or posted to my webpage. Emailed quizzes may not be turned
in via Email: a typewritten copy must be handed in during class. Handwritten take home quizzes
are late until a typewritten paper copy is turned in. Quizzes and Graded
Homework are of equal value when calculated into the Quiz/Homework component of
your final course grade.
Homework: The homework will sometimes be
assigned a numerical grade, sometimes not. A missing homework assignment is
calculated as a zero. In class writings will occasionally be treated as
homework (or as a quiz) and assigned a grade that is factored into that
component of your final course grade. Homework must be typed and is late until
a typewritten paper copy is turned in. Quizzes and Graded Homework are of equal
value when calculated into the Quiz/Homework component of your final course
grade.
Proofreading and Editing: You are expected to turn in work
that is not riddled with sentence level errors. Some errors will occur and this
is understood. However, papers show a lack of proofreading and editing when
they contain a preponderance of errors such as extra words, missing words, poor
punctuation, spelling errors, the incorrect use of singular or plural, slang,
colloquialisms, improper or insufficient use of paragraphs, and improper MLA
style. Such papers will receive a lower
grade.
Grading Scale: 100-90=A 89-80=B 79-70=C
69-60=D 59 and below=F The
final course grade is not rounded up.
Course components and their

analysis essay) page count requirement: minimum of 3 full pages
to a
maximum 4 full pages, plus a works cited page: 5%

Reading Responses: Hereafter referred to as RR. There are 15 assigned readings from Creating
America, as well as other sources, and a RR is due for each one. See the weekly schedule that follows for due
dates. A RR should be one and a half to
two pages and, like all out of class work, must be typed (see formatting). Each
RR is worth one percentage point of your final course grade. RR's are graded on
a pass/fail system. That is, they are
graded with either a check or a check minus.
A check indicates that the one point has been earned. A check minus indicates that no point has
been earned. The weekly schedule in this syllabus contains all the assigned
RR's and their due dates, but for the specific instructions and requirements
for each RR you must access the Reading List and Instructions for Reading
Responses, available on my webpage. Since RR's are a comparison/contrast of two
or more readings, always bring a copy of all readings to class on the day the
RR is due. Continue to bring them to
every class until the next RR is due.
Grading Rubric: available on my webpage.
