REQUEST FOR ACCOMMODATIONS If, to participate in this course, you require an accommodation due to a physical or learning impairment or religious observ ances, practices, or beliefs, you must contact the Office of Services to Students with Disabilities.

WITHDRAWING AND FINANCIAL AID Students receiving financial aid should not drop or withdraw from a class without consulting the financial aid office. Dropping or withdrawing may require repayment of financial aid, including all federal and state aid, both grants and loans. This is especially true for Bright Futures and Pell Grant recipients.

ATTENDANCE, PARTICIPATION, AND MAKEUPS • Attendance at every scheduled class is mandatory. Nonattendance can affect many forms of financial aid. An ab sence is defined as not attending class, arriving late (after the first five minutes), or leaving the class room prior to being dismissed by the instructor. It is your responsibility to sign in immediately upon arrival to class. • LATE WORK IS NEVER ACCEPTED FOR CREDIT. If you arrive late or miss class for any reason, you will get a zero on everything you missed. (The lowest classwork/homework/quiz grade will be dropped, but writing assignments will not. ) Not being present — NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON — when something was assigned, administered, submitted, or collected is no excuse; your work is still due at the same time as everyone else’s.

ATTENDANCE, PARTICIPATION, AND MAKEUPS, continued • Unavoidably absent or late? Don’t fall behind: Submit work online, check My. HCC / Canvas, and contact a classmate. (See the syllabus for more details. ) Take a few minutes now to exchange contact information with at least three classmates. • Notify instructor ASAP of special circumstances. • Pop quizzes based on reading assignments or exercises based on class instruction will be administered frequently (often at the start of class). WORK CANNOT BE MADE UP IF YOU ARE LATE OR MISS CLASS. • Class canceled: Due dates don’t change (unless instructor e mails you; CHECK CANVAS & HAWKMAIL REGULARLY).

ESSAY-GRADING RUBRIC All final papers will be graded according to the rubric on pages 3 and 4 of the syllabus. An essay must meet ALL of the requirements for a category to earn that grade. Any essay that does not meet the two requirements for “F (50%)” will get a zero.

GRADING SCALE • Grading scale: A = 100 -90 B = 89. 99 -80 C = 79. 99 -70 D = 69. 99 -60 F = 59. 99 -0 • A final grade of C satisfies specified minimum general education requirements. • Individual assignment scores will be figured to hun dredths of apercentage point, and final grades will not be rounded up. • THERE IS NO GRADE HAGGLING. Your final average is your final grade.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to: • cheating on any assignment, quiz, or test; • plagiarism, copying another person’s work without giving proper citation, or submitting another person’s work as your own; • stealing examinations or course materials; • falsifying grades or records of grades; • assisting anyone to do any of the above. ANY student determined to have committed an act of academic dishonesty (intentional or not) will receive a “ 0” grade for the assignment, will be reported to the dean of student services, and may receive an “F” grade for the course.

WORD COUNTS For estimation purposes, a double spaced paragraph typed in Times New Roman at 12 points (size of font) is approximately 250 words (page ≈ 350). However, you must do an exact word count on all essays (except timed writings in class). Points will be subtracted if an essay does not match the assigned word-count range (too short OR too long). To do a word count in MS Word, look on the toolbar under “Review. ” Count only words in paragraphs — not in headings, titles, or works-cited pages.

SUBMISSION OF ESSAYS Every completed writing assignment MUST CONTAIN ALL planning and editing STEPS, which will be discussed in class. Final ver sions will NOT be accepted without these steps. All final versions must be typed, use MLA conventions, and be submitted on Canvas as. docx or. doc attachments. Works, PDF, Mac, and Googledocs attachments, as well as hard copies, are NOT acceptable. Stu dents can download MS Office for free and / or use school computers to convert files to Word.

CAMPUS COMPUTERS Computers available for student use are located in the Computer Lab (YBOR 303 b), the Cyber Café (YLRC 131), the Academic Success Center (YLRC 105), the reference section of the library (YLRC 200), and the student lounge (YFAC 118). ALWAYS SAVE A BACKUP! Bring your USB / thumb / flash drive to save your work and e mail a copy to yourself, too. Format essays as demonstrated on pages 6 7 of the syllabus.

TECHNICAL PROBLEMS? If you have a problem submitting an assignment on My. HCC / Canvas, take these steps: 1. e-mail it to yourself and / or save it on a USB and submit in computer lab before class on due date; 2. bring it to class on a USB drive (or in your e mail) on the due date and ask me to help before class; 3. e-mail the assignment to jbielecki@hccfl. edu before the deadline; and / or 4. as a last resort, bring a printed version to class, hand it to me before class begins, and tell me how and when you will get the electronic file to me. I must have an electronic version (. docx or. doc) to grade, but at least I will know that you did the assignment on time.

FORMATTING ESSAYS Format all writing assignments as demonstrated on pages 6 and 7 of the syllabus. If you do not know how to double space or change the indentation, I will be happy to demonstrate.

STUDY SCHEDULE Like most college classes, this course requires about one hour and 40 minutes per week of studying, reading, and writing outside of class for every credit hour. Because this is a three credit hour course, that means you must commit to spending at least FIVE hours of your own time every week doing things to prepare for and successfully complete this class.

Your First Writing Assignment: • Write a 250 -word (one-paragraph) summary of Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour. ” The paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that includes the title. The paragraph should also mention the author, the genre, and if possible, theme. The rest of the paragraph should provide only plot summary (overview). • Do not try to analyze the story; you will do that in your next writing assignment. The point of this paragraph is just to provide a writing sample. • Post the paragraph as a Word (. docx or. doc) document on My. HCC/Canvas before class begins Thursday.

YOUR RESEARCH PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Write a 1, 900 - to 2, 100 -word research paper providing a critical analysis of a classic literary work from the provided list. You might analyze the work in relation to its author’s life, to its historical con text, to a myth, to its author’s or protagonist’s gender (the options are innumerable; consider the critical approaches we will discuss on Jan. 19), but the literary work (not the author or a movie version) must be the main focus of the paper.
