Syllabus Change Policy |
The course policies posted on the class website and the calendar posted
on this class website will be the official ones in case of dispute. This
paper copy is provided to you as a courtesy and will probably change
over the course of the term. Please check the online materials
frequently to stay up to date. |
||
Plagiarism Policy |
Please review the English Department’s policy on Using Borrowed
Information at
http://www.winthrop.edu/english/plagiarism.htm. You are
responsible for reviewing the Code of Student Conduct in your Student
Handbook and the description of plagiarism in The Prentice-Hall
Reference Guide to Grammar and Usage and handling source materials
correctly. If you turn in plagiarized work, I reserve the right to
assign you a failing grade for the paper or even for the course.
Winthrop policy on plagiarism is found at phttp://www.winthrop.edu/studentaffairs/ |

Turnitin.com Policy |
We will be using
www.turnitin.com this
semester for all out-of-class papers; our class ID # will be given out
in class. Papers not submitted to
www.turnitin.com by the
assigned deadline will not receive a grade. |
||
Attendance Policy |
Winthrop policy is that students who miss more than 25% of the classes
in a semester (in a Maymester class, 3 classes) cannot receive credit
for the course. In this class, if you miss more than 2 classes, you will
be on attendance probation. Each absence after the second will lower
your final grade by 3 points. If you arrive more than ten minutes late
for class, you're counted tardy; two tardies count as one absence. |
||
Late Paper/Assignment Policies |
·
Hard copies of all assignments are expected at the beginning of class on
the due date and must also be uploaded into turnitin.com by that time.
No exceptions are made for this requirement in summer school because of
the tight deadlines.
·
Under no circumstances will an assignment be accepted more than one
class period after the due date; it will receive a grade of zero.
·
Failure to submit any graded assignment means failure for the course. No
exceptions!

If you have a disability and need classroom accommodations, please
contact Ms. Gena Smith, Coordinator, Services for Students with
Disabilities, at 323-3290, as soon as possible. Once you have your
professor notification letter, please notify me so that I am aware of

||
Safe Zones Statement |
This classroom is a place where you will be treated with respect as a
human being – regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin,
religious affiliation, sexual orientation, political beliefs, age, or
ability. Additionally, diversity of thoughts are appreciated and
encouraged, provided you can agree to disagree. I expect that ALL
students will contribute to making the classroom a safe environment. |
||
Technology Requirements |
I conduct most of my business with students using e-mail. If you do not
have an e-mail account, go to 15 Tillman immediately to set it up. We
will create an informal class listserv and I will be using it. |
