PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A HYBRID CLASS THAT MEETS ONLINE AS WELL AS IN
A CLASSROOM FACE-TO-FACE. PLEASE REVIEW THE ATTENDANCE POLICY
CAREFULLY.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attend all of your classes! I take attendance every class session and note when
students arrive late or leave early.
Regular attendance is required at Houston Community College. HCC class attendance
policy states that a student who is absent more than 12.5% (6 hours/four class
sessions) of class may be administratively dropped.
Students who have excessive absences (missed more than 6 hours) by the 12th class
day will be withdrawn (W).
I cannot assign you a grade of W at the end of the semester. The W will be assigned by
our computer based on your absences if you decide to withdraw (before the withdrawal
date).
Coming to class excessively late (tardy) or leaving excessively early will count towards
your participation grade.
If you come in after I have called roll, please see me at the end of the class period so I
can mark your attendance. If you fail to do this, you will be marked as absent from
class. If you need to leave early, please tell me at the beginning of class.
Students are required to log on and actively participate in the class. If you
attended a “face-to-face” class, you would be in class three hours each week. In
a hybrid course, you will be expected to log on to Eagle Online a minimum of
three times each week and participate in the class. Participation includes, but is
not limited to, contributing to the discussion forums, submitting all assignments,
reading all assignments, and working with other class members on peer
assignments and group work. This will constitute part of your attendance.
Failure to log-on and/or submit work will be considered as absent. If you do not
log-on and fully participate for a period of one week, you may be dropped from
the class.
MISSION STATEMENT OF THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT:
The purpose of the English Department is to provide courses that transfer to four-year
colleges; introduce students to literature from diverse traditions; prepare students to
write clear, communicative, well-organized, and detailed prose; and develop students’
reading, writing, and analytical skills.
ENGLISH 1302 COURSE DESCRIPTION:
English 1302 is a more extensive study of the skills introduced in English 1301 with an
emphasis on critical thinking, research and documentation techniques, and literary and
rhetorical analysis. English 1302 is a core curriculum course.
English 1301 is a prerequisite for this class.
CORE OBJECTIVES:
Given the rapid evolution of necessary knowledge and skills and the need to take into
account global, national, state, and local cultures, the core curriculum must ensure that
students will develop the essential knowledge and skills they need to be successful in
college, in a career, in their communities, and in life. Through the Texas Core
Curriculum, students will gain a foundation of knowledge of human cultures and the
physical and natural world, develop principles of personal and social responsibility for
living in a diverse world, and advance intellectual and practical skills that are essential
for all learning.
Students enrolled in this core curriculum course will complete a research project or case
study designed to cultivate the following core objectives:


Critical Thinking Skills—to include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and
analysis, evaluation and synthesis of information
Communication Skills—to include effective development, interpretation and
expression of ideas through written, oral and visual communication



Personal Responsibility—to include the ability to connect choices, actions, and
consequences to ethical decision-making
Teamwork (Comp I, Comp II, and TW)—to include the ability to consider different
points of view and to work effectively with others to support a shared purpose or goal
Social Responsibility (Lit Only)—to include intercultural competency, knowledge of
civic responsibility, and the ability to engage effectively in regional, national, and
global communities
Student proficiency in Communication Skills will be assessed as a formal written out-ofclass essay, which is at least 3 pages long and which includes an oral presentation
component as well as a visual component. Student proficiency in Critical Thinking will
be assessed by a formal out-of-class essay assignment. Personal, Social
Responsibility, and Teamwork will be assessed as part of long unit or major essay
assignment, which will include assigned reading responses, pre-writing activities,
multiple drafts, and group activities (such as peer review or group presentations).
Student project grades will account for at least 5% of the final course grade.

ESSAY/PAPER POLICIES:
No late work accepted! No excuses! You will complete your own, original, brandnew work! Submit your work to Eagle Online! Due dates are posted on your syllabus
and/or assignment page. You will always receive a hand-out that states the topic of the
essay and any grammatical/formatting requirements. Make sure you follow all
directions listed. Points will be deducted for not following guidelines. I will not accept
emails with your papers attached.
IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
No make-ups on quizzes! Quizzes will be completed on Eagle Online even during
face-to-face class sessions. If you miss any in-class essays/assignments, it is your
responsibility to find out what you may have missed.
JOURNAL GUIDELINES:
You are expected to keep and write in a journal for the class. On most days, you will
respond to a written question that will be posted on the board of our classroom.
Although there will be a prompt on the board for you to follow, I encourage you to
expand upon any literary idea within the pages of your journal and respond to the
reading assignments by taking notes and recording your thoughts. Your entries should
be handwritten. The writing journal is a place where you will record your progress,
develop ideas, and track your growth as a reader and writer. Every few weeks you will
pick one of your entries to expand upon in a response paper. This response paper will
be informal and 1 page to 1 ½ pages in length. Submit your work to Eagle Online!
(check your syllabus for dates)
EAGLE ONLINE STUDENT USER ID:
How to log in to Eagle Online 2 (EO2): Your Eagle Online 2 username/password is the
same as your Eagle ID, which is the User ID or W number that you were issued upon
admission and the password you created for your HCC Email (issued upon enrollment
through the Student System). Your Eagle ID is also used for logging into campus
computers, AskOnline tutoring, printing on campus, etc.
For more information on your User ID or your HCC email password see the Eagle ID
web page.
The direct link to access the Student Sign In page for Eagle Online is:
https://eo2.hccs.edu/login/index.php
EAGLE ONLINE LMS/VIRTUAL CLASSROOM CONDUCT:
As with on-campus classes, all students who log into Blackboard or Eagle Online
courses are required to follow all HCC Policies & Procedures, the Student Code of
Conduct, the Student Handbook, and all relevant sections of the Texas Education Code
when interacting and communicating in a virtual classroom with your professor and
fellow students. Students who violate these policies and guidelines will be subject to
disciplinary action that could include denial of access to course related email,
discussion groups, and chat rooms, or even removal from the class.
COURSE POLICIES:
 No sleeping in class.
 If you must leave early, please tell me before class starts.
 I will dismiss the class, so please do not pack books before I do this.
 The out-of-class essays must be typed and submitted. The in-class essays will be
written on college ruled paper or in blue books purchased in the bookstore.
 The time to discuss an essay grade is after it is returned, not at the end of the
semester.
 When you email me, use correct English and proofread your message. Write
complete sentences, capitalize proper nouns, and use correct punctuation. Do not write
“b4” for “before” or “u” for “you,” any other shortened form of a word, or text message
language. Write as if you were on the job and producing text acceptable in the Houston
business community.
 No eating during class. Drinks are allowed but must have lids (if in a computer lab –
no drinks!).
WITHDRAWAL POLICY:
The State of Texas has begun to impose penalties on students who drop courses
excessively. For example, if you repeat the same course more than twice, you have to
pay extra tuition. Beginning in the Fall of 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a law
limiting first time entering students to no more than six total course withdrawals
throughout their academic career in obtaining a certificate or baccalaureate degree.
There may be future penalties imposed.
If you do not withdraw before the deadline, you will receive the grade that you are
making as the final grade rather than a “W.” This grade (due to missing classes and
missing work) will probably be an “F.” Please check the HCC website to find your
withdrawal date.
You should visit with your instructor, an HCC counselor, or HCC Online Student
Services to learn what, if any, HCC interventions might be offered to assist you to stay
in class and improve your performance. Such interventions could include tutoring, child
care, financial aid, and job placement.
If you feel that you cannot complete this course, please take the time to meet with me to
discuss why you feel it is necessary to do so. I may be able to provide you with
suggestions to enable you to complete the course. Your success is important. If you
wish to withdraw, fill out the withdrawal form online and submit it.

Final Exam
GRADES OF “W” AND “I”:
A grade of “W” is given for a “withdrawal.” A grade of “I” is given for “incomplete.” An “I”
is for emergencies only. You have one semester to complete the missing work.
STUDENT COURSE REINSTATEMENT POLICY:
Students have a responsibility to arrange payment for their classes when they register,
either through cash, credit card, financial aid, or the installment plan. Students who are
dropped from their courses for non-payment of tuition and fees who request
reinstatement after the official date of record can be reinstated by making payment in
full and paying an additional $75.00 per course reinstatement fee. The academic dean
may waive the reinstatement fee upon determining that the student was dropped
because of a college error.
ACADEMIC HONESTY:
According to the Student Handbook for the Houston Community College System,
scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and
collusion.
1. Cheating on a test includes:
 Copying from another student’s test paper and using materials not
authorized by the person giving the test.
 Collaborating with another student during a test without authority.

Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, transporting, or soliciting in
whole or part the contents of an unadministered test.
 Bribing another person to obtain a test that is to be administered.
2. Plagiarism means the appropriation of another’s words or ideas and the
unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one’s own written work offered for
credit.
3. Collusion means the unauthorized collaboration with another person in
preparing written work offered for credit.
According to the Student Handbook, “possible punishments for scholastic dishonesty
may include a grade of 0 or F for the particular assignment, failure in the course, and/or
referral to the college Dean of Student Services for disciplinary action up to and
including expulsion. Students have the right to appeal the decision” (18). Students are
responsible for complying with the concepts of scholastic honesty. If you have any
questions concerning this issue or any major assignment for this course, please contact
me.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:
Receiving a “W” in a course may affect the status of your student visa. Once a “W” is
given for the course, it will not be changed to an “F”. Please contact the International
Student Office at 713-718-8520 if you have any questions about your visa status and
any other transfer issues.
MENINGITIS IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT:
Texas Senator Bill 1107 passed in May 2011, requires that new HCC students and
former HCC students returning after an absence of at least one Fall or Spring semester
who are under the age of 30 are required to present a physician –signed certificate
showing they have been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis. For more information
and a list of exemptions please go to
http://www.hccs.edu/hccs/admissions-registration-center/new-student-generaladmissions-steps/submit-meningitis-documentation.
USE OF CAMERAS AND/OR RECORDING DEVICES:
Use of recording devices, including camera phones and tape recorders, is prohibited in
classrooms, laboratories, faculty offices, and other locations where instruction, tutoring,
or testing occurs. These devices are also not allowed to be used in campus restrooms.
Students with disabilities who need to use a recording device as a reasonable
accommodation should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities for information
regarding reasonable accommodations.

enforced.

Students are not allowed to save to the hard drive of the computer. Students
should save their work frequently.
ELECTRONICS POLICIES:
1. Turn off and put away all cell phones, beepers, text-messaging devices and other
electronic devices when class starts. The sound of cell phones ringing during class is
disruptive. Students should not leave the class to make a call or answer one (or worse-answer a call in class). No cell phones permitted on top of desks. Text-messaging
during class means that you are not paying attention and displays your lack of respect
for the professor.
2. No Bluetooth devices in ears allowed during class.
3. No music devices with earphones allowed during class.
4. No laptops open during class.
INCLEMENT WEATHER:
During inclement weather conditions, monitor major local channels for updates on

grade point average and accumulate 12 credit hours at HCCS. HCCS has an
internationally recognized chapter: Omega Sigma. Numerous transfer scholarships are
offered through this honors organization. Contacts are available at
www.omegasigma.org.
The Gender Studies Club
The Gender Studies Club meets each month and online to discuss the roles of women
and men in society and to investigate how sexual differences and cultural constructions
of gender may affect identity. The club promotes awareness of gender issues on
campus, encourages research and discussions of gender issues, hosts prominent
speakers in the field, and serves the community. Contact Marie Dybala at
marie.dybala@hccs.edu.
EGLS3 -- EVALUATION FOR GREATER LEARNING STUDENT SURVEY SYSTEM:
At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is
necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be
asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to
instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your
professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the
survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end
of the term. Go to www.hccs.edu/egls3 for more information.
