REVISED 01/04/16

Classroom

Policies

Classroom Etiquette:

While class is in session, students will listen attentively, take notes, and take measures to

insure they do not interfere with the ability of their classmates to do the same. This means

among other distractions that no side conversations with neighbors going on simulta-

neously with classroom activities/discussion. It is your responsibility to contact a peer for any notes or homework assignments you may

have missed due to absences.

Cell phones / laptops: The instructor will indicate when electronics may be brought to class for an activity. Oth-

erwise, electronic devices (including telephones) are expected to be off or in airplane mode

position.

Students will be prepared for every class. This means having all reading and assign-

ments completed prior to the start of every class, in accordance with the due dates in

the course syllabus, as you may be tested on this material without notice.

Attending class unprepared will result in negative grade repercussions on assignment

grades for the day. Food and drinks. Students may bring food or drinks, so long as they are not distracting

and may lose the privilege if this is not adhered to for the classroom.

No food or drink is allowed in the library or computer rooms at LSSC.

Discussion: In a seated environment, students will take turns speaking and listen respect-

fully while others speak. Every member of this class and all remarks will be respected re-

gardless of whether or not we agree. We will not always agree with one another, but we

will respect each other’s rights of expression. Our classroom is a safe space where every-

one will treat others as they expect to be treated.

BB Message and Email Etiquette:

The primary mode of contact is via the Blackboard Message system. Emails should be limited to

those times you do not have access to Blackboard, as this is a TEB course. Please professionally

format messages as follows:

A Subject Heading-- The subject line must be brief yet specific and include the class sec-

tion number, assignment name for work submissions or the area your question pertains to

(Such as Week 3: Topic/Thesis)

A Greeting (“Dr. Rudden”, “Hello, Dr. Rudden”) Remember, you are emailing a college

instructor. Greetings, such as “hey” are unprofessional and disrespectful.

Your message must be checked for grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Remember a pro-

fessional email is not a text message. Text speak will delay a response to our question, par-

ticularly when the instructor is required to write back for clarification or translation of your

message.

A salutation (“Sincerely, Jane Doe”, “Thank you, Jane Doe”)

Along with the above, an email needs to always include your course CRN (20208) in the subject

line. This is to ensure a timely and efficient response to your question. Any email correspondence

to me will be sent through LAKEHAWK MAIL. The LSSC servers will often route outside email

(Gmail, yahoo, AOL, etc.) to our spam folders for security purposes. If you want your email to

reach the instructor, use LAKEHAWK mail only. Contact [email protected] or visit the Learning

Center if you need help setting up your LAKEHAWK account.

Rules of the Road:

All work is due at the beginning of class via Bb (and printed for peer reviews as noted in

the course calendar). You must submit your work as a .docx or .rtf file . Blackboard

will not recognize .odt or other extensions.

No work will be accepted that is not in .docx or .rtf format. Posting the wrong type of

document will delay the grading process and could result in late penalties, as work not

correctly submitted is not submitted on time.


REVISED 01/04/16

Open your attachment immediately after posting to make sure that you have indeed

submitted the work you want to be evaluated.

Please make sure you are familiar with the late policy for this course, which is in this

syllabus.

No work is accepted for credit after the end of the late policy period or after the

course ends. The date/time stamp via the BLACKOBARD receipt is the date/time

used to determine submission time. You may always submit your work early.

There is no make-up work or extra credit for this class. Your final grade is based solely on

the work assigned for the class, which is designed to meet the course and student learning

objectives.

Turnitin.com: All Final RP assignments, except as noted, require an originality report

present within the student’s account under the specific assignment heading with

Turnitin.com by the due date/time of the Bb submission. You must submit the paper to

Turnitin.com prior to or at the same time the work is submitted via Bb.

This means that every final assignment, except as noted, such as the rough drafts or

peer-reviewed copies, prior to or at the same time as submitting the file to Bb.

Your Final Assignments, including Final Draft of the Research paper, are not correctly

submitted unless the paper is in both Turnitin and via Bb. Plagiarizing or violating “Fair

Use” (U.S. Copyright Law) will result in failure for the ENTIRE course and a report will

be filed in Academic Affairs as a permanent part of the student’s record. Instructions for

setting up an account with Turnitin.com are located in the course content area “Writing and

Research Strategies” on the Blackboard course platform.

Turnitin Class ID and password available in Blackboard.

All grades are final and do-overs are accepted only if revision is an objective of the

assignment and otherwise advised by the instructor. Both criteria must be met.

Blackboard is the only platform in which assignments will be graded. In the unlikely

event of a college-wide Blackboard outage, an emailed assignment will freeze the clock

to prevent late penalties. However, no graded work will be returned through email.

Students are expected to post their assignment to Blackboard immediately upon resolution

of the outage. Outages are only accepted if a college-wide announcement is made.

A personal internet problem does not constitute a Blackboard outage.

Late Work Policy: Assignments may be submitted up to two (3) days late for credit

with a 10% per day penalty for each day late. This policy applies only to Blackboard

submissions. In-class assignments will be submitted by the beginning of the class period

or as otherwise instructed, regardless of whether they are complete or incomplete. No

works is accepted after the end of the course.

The Gordon Rule requires 60% of the class written assignments must be college level writing

and must be submitted by the student. Non submission of a Gordon Rule Assignment will

result in a failing grade for the course. Please communicate with your instructor if you are

struggling. We are here to help you succeed.


REVISED 01/04/16

Research Method: For academic writing, document formatting is discipline-specific. All English

and Literature courses use the research method established by the Modern Language

Association (MLA). Scholarly research does not require students to memorize MLA or APA or

CSE or any other research method. Rather, students are expected to acquire the skill of reading a

writer’s manual or using an electronic source to accurately document source material within the

guidelines of each discipline.

MLA Essay Format: All out of class essays must be submitted in formal MLA Format. Any

essays failing to meet the following criteria will not be graded: 1. Typed/Word Processed in 12 pt. font (Times New Roman ONLY)

2. Double-spaced with one (1) inch margins for sides, top, and bottom.

3. Contain a heading on the first page (NO COVER SHEETS).

4. Contain headers on ALL pages including the Works Cited page.

5. Contain a Works Cited page with the required number of sources.

6. No extra spaces between the heading, title, paragraphs, or citations. Microsoft Word adds 10

pts. each time the enter key is pressed. Instructions for correcting this issue with paragraph

formatting are located in Blackboard.

7. Works Cited page – double-spaced with hanging indent.

Final Research Paper requires a minimum of Eight (6) credible, reputable sources at the

college level, which are either database sources or print sources ONLY. See Warning be-

low.

LSSC Library’s DATABASES are required for ALL essays. You may not use any

other database for this class.

WARNING: You may not use an .edu, .org, etc. These are open

to the public and not acceptable, as most are not peer reviewed.

You may not use these even if you gain access via a database,

such as OneNote. You will need to confer with the instructor

and librarian concerning sources that may be in this area. No

source of this type may be used without prior approval.

DO NOT USE any commercial website (.com), including Spark

Notes, Classic Notes, Wikipedia, etc. as critical sources. While these sites may offer helpful summaries of major works

of literature, they do not contain the detail or the language

of a peer-reviewed scholarly journal and are not accepta-

ble as sources.


REVISED 01/04/16

Academic Integrity:

The successful functioning of the academic community demands honesty, which is the basis of respect for both ideas and

persons. In the academic community, there is an ongoing assumption of academic integrity at all levels. There is the

expectation that work will be independently thoughtful and responsible as to its sources of information and inspiration.

Honesty is an appropriate consideration in other ways as well, including but not limited to the responsible use of library

resources, responsible conduct in examinations, and the responsible use of the Internet. (See college catalog for complete

statement.)

Plagiarism (whether intentional or accidental) will have serious negative consequences, as academic integrity is a

college-wide policy. Avoiding plagiarism through proper MLA/APA formatting will be a primary focus of this

course.

Important

Information for

Students with

Disabilities:

Any student with a documented disability who requires assistance or academic accommodations should contact the Office

for Students with Disabilities immediately to discuss eligibility. The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) is

located on the Leesburg Campus, but arrangements can be made to meet with a student on any campus. An appointment

can be made by calling 352-365-3589 and specific information about the OSD and potential services can be found at

www.lssc.edu, then go to “Quick Links” and click on Disability Services.

Privacy Policy

(FERPA):

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part99) is a Federal law that

protects the privacy of a student’s education records. In order for your information to be released, a form must be signed

and in your records located in the Admissions/Registrar’s Office.

This course is designated as a HYBRID, which requires access and work to be submitted into the Blackboard Online

Learning System.

Be advised, as previously mentioned in this syllabus, that this course fulfills the Gordon Rule Writing requirements

and failure to submit any of the primary Gordon Rule writing assignments will result in a failing grade for the

course. These assignments are labeled with RP ASSG in your grade book. The 60% Gordon Rule Writing minimum

is fulfilled through all papers, discussions, responses, posts, etc. See Methods of Evaluations for more specifics.

Students are expected to keep informed about of online assignments by carefully following the Calendar of Activities at

the end of this Syllabus and by checking Blackboard’s Announcements and Messages daily.

Seated attendance: Students are required to attend all seated class sessions and maintain weekly Blackboard participa-

tion. In the event of an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to continue to meet all course requirements and com-

municate with the instructor should an unexpected even compromise the meeting requirements.

More than four (4) absences may result in automatic failure for the semester. Again, communication with

the instructor is essential in the case of an emergency. Please do not disappear.

Each absence over TWO (2) for seated class sessions will result in a penalty of a full-letter grade (10% grade

deduction) per absence. In other words, missing two classes would reduce a final grade from an A to a B.

Missing three classes would reduce a final grade from an A to a C. Again, communicating with the instructor

is essential in the case of an emergency. Please do not disappear.

If you are late more than 10 minutes twice, this equals one absence.

Missed quizzes, discussions, seated classes, or in-class writing assignments cannot be made up.

There is no extra credit for this class or make up work.

If a student decides to discontinue class attendance, it is her or his responsibility to withdraw from class prior to

the date published in the catalog. Withdrawal forms are available from the counseling center. Deadline for

withdrawal is 25 March by 4:30PM ET on campus.

Failure to withdraw properly from class will result in a grade of “F”.

I acknowledge that I have received and reviewed the course syllabus for ENC 1101 CRN 20794.

I have read the syllabus (either in paper or online), and I understand the classroom policies, instructor’s

expectations, and rules (e.g. technology, text requirements, grading system, attendance policy, academic

integrity policy, assignment responsibilities, test policies, etc.) as stated in the syllabus for this course. I will

comply with the classroom policies, instructor’s expectations, and rules (e.g. technology, text requirements,

stated in the syllabus for this course.

If I have any questions or concerns, I will contact the instructor for a full explanation via BB Message in

Blackboard as the primary contact or via LakeHawk email as a secondary contact.

I understand that I am responsible for completing and correctly submitting (in Word 2010 or higher, generally

in .doc(x) or .rtf or print format as required) all homework assignments, quiz/in-class assignments, and research

assignments by the due date/time as outlined in the schedule. Only work correctly submitted into Blackboard is

submitted on time. I understand the consequences for not completing and correctly submitting the work for this

class via Blackboard, as this is the only method for submission of class work. See syllabus.

Attending class unprepared will result in negative grade repercussions on assignment grades for the day.
