 Discussion Prompts
For
Online class work, students will be required to submit three
responses for every online discussion question/assignment
that I post--one post that addresses the discussion prompt,
and two posts that address responses by classmates. Your
responses must be more than 2-3 sentences to get full credit.
Minimum of 150 words. Missing an
online discussion is the same as missing f2f classes. Therefore,
if you miss and online discussion, in addition to missing
discussion points, you will also be counted as absent for
the course that day.
Attendance
Requirements
Attendance
is required and necessary since this is a participation-oriented
class. More than six absences (MWF; four, TR) are grounds
for failure. There will be times in the semester when you
really need the days off, so don't miss class without good
reason.
If you
know you are going to miss a class, let me know. You are
responsible for finding out what you mised and what assignments
are due for the next class. If you miss a class, FIRST,
ask you classmates, then feel free to ask me. Missed assignments
will not be excused because of absences. Athletes: any
special arrangements for athletes must be made with the
professor at least two weeks prior to the event.
Do not
come late to class. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late,
for any reason, you will be marked as absent. Likewise for
leaving class early. Also, three times tardy equals an absense.
Late attendance and absences will affect your participation
grade. If you miss more than four (two, TR) classes, you
will not receive an "A" for your participation
grade.
Drafts,
Revisions and Final Papers
All
work must be typed or produced on a word processor. Every
article should be titled and dated. Follow the manuscript
formation instructions in the MLA Handbook. You will lose
a substantial portion of your grade for improper format—the
same goes for improper grammar, punctuation and spelling. Deadlines are taken very seriously (it's the profession). You will recieve 0 credit for essays turned in after
the deadline.
Reading/Writing
Center
The
Writing Center, located in 109 Gamble, can be looked on
as an extension of any writing classroom. I encourage you
to take advantage of this free service whenever you are
writing a paper or trying to revise one. Drop in or call
927-5210 for an appointment.
Honor
Code
All
students at Armstrong Atlantic State University must agree
to abide by the Honor
Code and Code of Conduct. Under all circumstances, students
are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty,
administrative staff, and fellow students. Students must
submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level
of accomplishment. Any work that is not a product of the
student's own effort is considered dishonest. Honor Code
violations can lead to failure in a course, student suspension
or expulsion from the institution.
