Course Description
ENGL 1113 is the first in a sequence of two courses; this course introduces students to academic writing, basic
research, and MLA documentation.Course work will include two 750+ word essays (both revisable), miscellaneous
assignments (including quizzes, in-class exercises, peer reviews), summaries, critical responses, mid-term exam, and two final
exams.
Prerequisites
Appropriate CPT or ACT score, or completion of ENG 0923 and ENG 0933 with a grade of “C” or better, or
permission of the Associate Dean. For more information about prerequisites, see Little, Brown, page xi-xiii.
Next Course in Sequence
English 1213: Composition II
Course Objectives
This class focuses on developing the techniques that will be crucial for your success in college, your profession, and
your life. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
 Analyze academic writing situations to determine purpose, audience, and focus for a written composition.
 Choose the best possible words to communicate clearly and effectively.
 Construct sentences that emphasize your meaning and make your writing interesting.
 Think critically to develop and support thesis statements that make specific, arguable claims.
 Create a coherent, unified essay with an orderly progression of ideas.
 Write focused, detailed, coherent paragraphs that develop your ideas with evidence appropriate to the academic
situation.
 Incorporate responsible and appropriate sources into your writing by quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing, and
documenting according to MLA guidelines.
 Read, comprehend, and respond to college-level texts.
Important: I assume that you know and practice the fundamentals of grammar. Thus, we won’t focus on acquiring those
basic skills in this class. (That said, your Little, Brown textbook devotes several chapters to grammar/mechanics and I strongly
suggest you use the text as a reference to refresh and/or improve your skills, as necessary.)

Assessment
Course work will be measured in terms of engagement in the learning community as “makers of knowledge" (active
in-class participation, quality of thought and content, precise use of the English language, and appropriateness of style).
The majority of your grade will come from your written work. Papers and other written assignments, including the final
written exam, will be graded using the criteria described on pages xvii-xii in Little, Brown. Other assignments will be graded
according to your demonstrated understanding of the skill or concept addressed in the assignment.
Do not email assignments or leave assignments in my mailbox unless prior arrangements have been made
with me.

**Everyone takes the final essay exam
English Professors assign "I" grades only when genuine emergencies prevent a student from completing the class
and/or from withdrawing before the deadline and only when the student is earning a satisfactory ("C" or better) grade.
Please do not contact me at the end of the semester to ask what you can do to raise your grade. As per FERPA (the
student privacy policy), I can speak only with you regarding your grade; please don’t have anyone contact me on your behalf.
Penalty Waiver Form (PWF): The Penalty Waiver Form is available on Blackboard under “Syllabus and Other Info”
(a copy is attached to this document). This non-transferable form allows you a one-time exemption from the late work policy for
one major essay. Your paper will be due a few days later, usually the next class period. (The PWF due date will be on the essay
assignment sheet.) Your paper is not late if you properly use the PWF. To be clear, using the PWF allows you a few extra days
without penalty to work on one of your two major essays or a re-schedule of the in-class critical response. The PWF does not
cover in-class exercises, quizzes, homework, or peer reviews.
Late Work: Daily assignments are due at the beginning of class and are considered late if submitted after assignments
have been collected. Do not email assignments or leave assignments in my mailbox unless prior arrangements have been made
with me. Late work is not accepted and missed quizzes/in-class work cannot be made up. In other words, if you miss a class,
regardless of the reason, you cannot submit your assignments after the class or make-up missed in-class work. You will receive
a “0” for missed work. The penalty for late submission of essays 1 and 2 without the PWF is one letter grade for each day late.
No major papers are accepted 72 hours or more beyond the due date unless you have made prior arrangements with me. Late
essays without a PWF may be graded at the end of the semester and are ineligible for revision.
Extra Credit: Five extra credit points are available during the Quiz Bowl at the end of the semester. You may also
accumulate up to 30 extra credit points (5 per workshop) for attending the scheduled Writing Center workshops (schedule
pending).
Attendance
Do not underestimate the importance of attending class regularly, arriving on-time and prepared (with textbooks and
other materials, like hardcopy of the readings), and participating earnestly in class discussions and activities. Please plan to
attend class regularly because in-class work cannot be duplicated outside the classroom and I have a strict attendance policy. If
you are enrolled on the first day of class, you will be counted absent if you don’t attend.If you are unable to attend class, check
“Announcements” in Blackboard for assignments and links to handouts, when available. Do not email me for assignment
information without first checking Blackboard. Never ask me “if you missed something in class.” Assume the answer is always
yes.
With regard to all absences, please do not send me emails with excuses for non-life threatening situations. You can,
however, send me an FYI email but it’s not required. However, if you have a life-threatening situation please contact me as
soon as possible so we can negotiate a possible solution for finishing the course, if you are in good academic standing in the
course (a “C” or above). Likewise, if you know weeks in advance you are going to miss one specific class, we may be able to
negotiate a solution for turning in work prior to the absence if you are in good academic standing in the course. In the case of
prior notification, you may be allowed to turn in the assignments prior to the due date but will still be marked as absent.
Remember, this is not a self-paced course and, therefore, the due dates apply to all students.
On-time arrival is also required. I will not accept your work if you turn it in late. That means anytime after 10:15. It is
distracting to me and as well as your classmates when you are late, need directions repeated, or haven't finished your work on
time. In fact, I may not accept your work. Also, I will count tardiness toward the missed class total.

ENGL 1113
Arriving unprepared for class (e.g., didn’t print the reading or didn’t bring a green examination book for the critical
response) may impact your grade as well. If you need to print out information, for example, during class time, I will count the
time missed toward your missed class total. (There are no printers in the class rooms.)
OVERVIEW OF ATTENDANCE POLICY
 Absence for any reasons is an absence. Do not email me with excuses, but you may email to give me a heads up.
 Missing 2 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 2 hrs./40 mins.) may organically lower your final grade.
 Missing 4 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 5 hrs./20 mins.) results in a letter grade reduction of your final
grade.
 Missing 6 classes (or the hourly equivalent of 8 hrs.) means you will either be dropped from the course (“AW”)
for unsatisfactory progress or receive an “F” as a final grade.
Tardiness will count toward missed class total.
 You may not make-up any missed misc. work due to absence, with the exception of pre-arranged and negotiated
absences. (You are still marked absent.)
 You are considered absent if you use class time to print assignments, readings, or prepare yourself for the work at
hand. This time will count toward your missed class total.
Revision Policy
You may revise and re-submit either/both of the two major essays. Revisions should be accompanied by a 250-300
word letter explaining the specific improvements you’ve made, based on my feedback and on the readings from the course
texts. If the letter convinces me that you have made significant and informed changes, I will grade the revision and replace the
original grade. If the letter does not convince me that you have studied appropriate materials to revise effectively, or if you
submit a revision without the letter, I will not grade your revision. Note: plagiarized essays are ineligible for revision.
Plagiarism
Please see definitions of plagiarism in your Little, Brown Handbook. All written work is submitted to SafeAssign, a
program that checks for plagiarism. If you submit an assignment containing plagiarism, and it is your first offense, you will
receive a 0 for that assignment. To remain in the class, you are required to send me an email (1) defining plagiarism, (2)
explaining why your paper constitutes plagiarism, and (3) outlining how you intend to avoid plagiarism in the future. If I’m
convinced that the plagiarism occurred accidentally and that you understand plagiarism, I may allow you to rewrite the
assignment, but I am not obligated to do so. A rewrite will not be permitted for cases in which the plagiarism appears to be
deliberate and/or extensive. A second offense will result in a grade of F for the assignment and I will report you to the Dean
of Student Services for violation of TCC’s policies on academic integrity. In addition, you may also fail the course.
Academic Dishonesty and Misconduct Policy
See p. xxvii in Little, Brown.
Conduct
All communication in this class, including individual emails to me, telephone conversations, and/or face-to-face
dialogue should be professional in content and format. In terms of assignments, sloppiness in spelling, grammar,
capitalization, punctuation, etc. may result in a failing grade, as may lack of professionalism in terms of tone, attitude, and
language.
Because I will not discuss grades or assignments with parents, students are responsible for monitoring their
progress. To understand why you may have received a particular grade on an assignment, you should follow these steps:
1. Verify that you followed the assignment requirements;
2. Read over any comments that I have made on that assignment;
3. Consult the appropriate grading rubric.
I am happy to clarify any comments that you may not understand. I encourage students to come to me if they want individual
assistance with writing, reading, or other course materials.

Non-participation, Drops, and Withdrawals
Students are responsible for understanding TCC’s policies, including those pertaining to satisfactory academic
progress and federal financial aid. For more information, see http://www.tulsacc.edu/12455/
Last day to drop course for full refund: Sunday, January 25
Last day to change from credit to audit or withdraw from 16-week course with W: Friday, April 10
 The instructor will issue WNs (“withdrawal no-show”) for those students who do not attend the two weeks of a
sixteen-week class.
 For all TCC courses, the last day to withdraw (course appears on transcript with grade W), or change from credit to
audit, shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. For a sixteen-week course, the last day to withdraw is Friday,
April 10. Students should be aware that withdrawing from courses and changing from “for credit” to “audit” is likely
to affect their financial aid.
 English Professors issue Incompletes(I) only when genuine emergencies prevent students from completing the class,
and/or from withdrawing before the deadline, which means that Is are rarely given. Furthermore, English professors
will issue an I to only those students who are earning a C or higher at the time of the I request.
Important: Contact the Counseling Office at any TCC campus to initiate a withdrawal (W) from a course or to change from
Credit to Audit. Withdrawing from a course and/or changing to audit after the drop/add period may alter the financial aid
award for the current semester and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation
leaves a balance due to TCC.
ADA Policy
Students with documented disabilities are provided academic accommodations through the Educational Access
Center (918-595-7115) or Resource Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (918-595-7428/TDD-TTY 918-595-7434). If
any student is in need of academic accommodations from either office, it is the student’s responsibility to advise the instructor
so an appropriated referral can be made no later than the first week of class. Students may also contact the disabled Student
Services Offices directly at the telephone numbers indicated. Academic accommodations will not be provided unless
appropriate documentation is provided to the Disabled Student Services Office to support the need.
Institutional Statement
Each student is responsible for being aware of the information contained in the TCC Catalog, TCC Student
Handbook, TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook, and semester information listed in the Class Schedule.
Computer Services Acceptable Use
Access to computing resources is a privilege granted to all TCC faculty, staff, and students. Use of TCC computing
resources is limited to purposes related to the College’s mission of education, research, and community service. Student use of
technology is governed by the Computer Services Acceptable Use Statements/Standards found in the TCC Student Code of
Conduct Policy Handbook. These handbooks may be obtained by contacting any Student Activities or Dean of Student Services
office.

ENGL 1113
There occasionally are circumstances such as extreme weather conditions or emergencies that may require the College
to cancel classes and/or close campuses for a short period of time. During these times, this information will be shared with
the local TV and radio stations for general announcement. Information will also be posted on the TCC website at
www.tulsacc.edu. If this situation occurs, persons should not attempt to call the College to leave a message or confirm specific
class closings. Normally, if classes are closed because of inclement weather or emergency conditions, all classes at all locations
will be canceled.
TCC Alerts is another College resource to communicate emergency and weather related information about college
closings to all students, faculty and staff. Available message formats include voice message, email and text. TCC Alerts is a free
service; however, if you select to receive text message (SMS) alerts, you may incur standard text messaging charges depending
upon your calling plan and carrier. Sign up information can be found on the TCC website under the Campus Police link.
Syllabus and/or Course Agenda Changes
Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in
writing and on Blackboard.
