Course Policies
- You must turn in the required assignments (an explication essay and
a paper) and take all three tests. Failure to turn in an assignment
or take a test will result in a grade of F for the assignment or test.
- Your assignments must be turned in on time. A late assignment will
be penalized one full letter grade, unless you have been given an extension
in advance.
- All writing done for the course should include substantive content
as well as observe general principles of good writing: correct grammar,
spelling, punctuation, and careful use of language.
- All work submitted for this course must be your own: plagiarism or
cheating on a test will result in a failing grade. (See University Policy
about academic dishonesty at http://www.csus.edu/admbus/umanual/UMP14150.htm)
- Authors' names and text titles should always be spelled accurately.
- You should always bring your textbook to class.
- You should always be prepared to respond to the reading questions
that will be handed out for each reading assignment. In class I will
use the questions to frame our discussions: sometimes I will call on
people to respond to a specific question; and sometimes I will ask the
whole class to write in response to a certain question. But sometimes,
instead of responding to specific questions, you will be asked to discuss
a passage that you think is important, for which you can identify key
themes, issues, and connections.
