§ Remember that e-mails count as professional writing (please no “SUP LEAH” or “hey teacher”* greetings) § Please identify which class section you are in (011 or 015) § In your subject line, please put the name of the course (1302) § I answer e-mails during regular business hours (M-F, 8 am-5 pm), but send them anytime (no judgement for 3 am e-mails) § I try to respond to all e-mails within 24 hours (not counting weekends) *yes, these actually happen

§ We meet once a week (Mondays) § All other work is due asynchronously (via Raider. Writer or occasionally e -mail) § I am available to you as a resource throughout the week (office hours, e -mails, etc. ), as is our course blog (1302 heilig. wordpress. com) § This class is FAST-PACED, start working on your schedule now! § Also contact me right away if you are having difficulties with assignments or content

§ First-Year Writing textbook (2015/2016, 9 th edition, TTU Custom) § The St. Martin’s Handbook (2015/2016, 8 th edition, TTU Custom) § Regular access to the internet § Raider. Writer account

§ You will receive an e-mail prompting you to set up a Raider. Writer username and password. You need to do so IMMEDIATELY (within 24 hours of receiving the email). § If you have trouble setting up your username and password, refer to the Raider. Writer FAQ (emailed by instructor) and “reset” your password. § Assignment due dates/submissions, course schedule, attendance, and grades will be accessed here

§ Allowed 2 absences without penalty to either participation or overall grade § Every exceeded absence will result in a deduction of participation points (-5) and overall grade (-5% per absence) § If you are absent, please check the Daily Agenda posted on the course blog, and e-mail me if you have questions (I do not need to know why you were absent) § “Excused” absences

§ Worth as much as a final draft (weight: 8) § Points can be earned/lost throughout the semester (see Heilig’s Syllabus) § Is more than butt-in-chair time § Excessive tardies (being more than 10 minutes late to class) will result in deductions

§ Your assignments will be graded by myself, another classroom instructor (CI), and two document instructors (DIs) § Please contact me if you ever have questions regarding feedback or assessment § I do not curve grades (ex: 79% would stay a C) in the interest of fairness to all students § You are always able to discuss your grades with me outside of class time (office hours, e-mail, etc. )

§ Come to class prepared (readings, materials, other homework) § Turn in assignments on time to Raider. Writer § Contact your instructor regularly! § Procrastination = doom
