Instructor guidelines and policies
Scholastic Dishonesty, including Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else’s writing and/or ideas and submitting them as your
own. Copying from any source, including cutting and pasting work from the internet into your
paper, requires the use of quotation marks and citation of your source; omission of such citation
constitutes cheating, whether the student lifts a line, a paragraph, a page, or an entire essay. If,
instead of giving an exact quote, you paraphrase, you must omit the quotation marks but you still must
state the source of the idea. One act of plagiarism willresult in a grade of “0” for the offending paper/assignment
without the option to rewrite the paper. A second act of plagiarism may result in failure of the course.
Students will avoid plagiarism in all written work for the course. “’Scholastic dishonesty’ includes, but is
not limited to, cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. . . .” See Student Handbook on HCCS website.
Requirements for English 1301:
This course is intended to improve the student’s writing of essays and research papers, as well as the
student’s critical reading and analysis of essays and fiction. During the semester, students will write two
short out-of-class essays, two regular length out-of-class essays, two in-class essay exams, and a six-page
research paper during the course, using writing process and organizing assignments as appropriate to the
topic, the purpose, the audience, and so on. Multiple drafts of some assignments will be required. Always keep all
parts of the writing process for each assignment. Failure to produce them may result in a failing grade for
the assignment. Moreover, regardless of the level of the out-of-class essays, the student will fail the course if
s/he writes an unsatisfactory or plagiarized research paper or in-class essay.
Assignments
Two short out-of-class essays, each one to 1½ pages long
Two regular out-of-class essays, each 2 ½ to three pages long
Two in-class exam- essays, 2 pages, written in the upstairs lab in the library and turned in before class ends
(late papers or emailed papers will NOT be accepted). NOTE: An in-class essay an exam to show that you
can produce an essay within the 90-minute class period. Just as the case of a quiz, finishing after class
destroys the whole point. If you try to turn in any in-class essay after the end of class it will not be
accepted and will receive a ZERO.
One research paper (six pages) due in mid-November
Oral Presentations of Lncoln’s Gettysburg Address and of a short passage from the Declaration of
Independence
Two to four Presentations of passages from MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech
Ten Journals (each to cover one week of class the weekend after those classes, and all handed in together
in one folder at the end of November)
Homework [grammar and sentence structure, techniques of argument, outlines, in-line citations, works
cited page, & research techniques]
Occasional quizzes on grammar and sentence structure and on the techniques covered in homework
Library Instruction Session on Research Techniques
Oral Presentation on Final Exam Day
Two or more Quizes on Major Sentence Errors & on readings, including one on Final Exam Day
Each assignment will lose points unless it has a heading (and avoids any cover sheet) as follows:
Student’s first and last name
Nunes
Engl1302 Central Campus HCCS
Month/day/year
Each essay assignment will include outline, final draft, initial drafts, peer-reviewed version. Each paper must
have a heading & title and must use the standard margins (1" on all sides). Each must be double-spaced and
must conform to MLA format. Each must be typed or printed in a 12 point font (Times New Roman, Garamond,
Courier, Bookman Old Style, Book Antiqua, or other serif font—and must avoid using Arial nor
Century Gothic or other sans serif font and also avoid script fonts such as Script MT Bold; also avoid use of
ALL CAPS and bold. However, italics may and should be used, but only for titles of books, movies, newspapers,
journals, magazines, and other large publications.
Research paper: Place all research notes in left pocket of red folder; place all references (photocopied or printed
from articles/books along with title pages of books & articles) in right pocket of same red folder. Use brads to
contain, in order: outline; final draft of paper; “Works Cited” page; all pre-writing, and all peer-reviewed drafts.
Absence from midterm or final quiz or exam-essay, or failure to turn in journals or research paper
on time, gets you an F in the course.
Late Paper Policy / Make-up Work: Students must complete all essays. That is, all versions of all drafts of the essays
(including rough drafts) must be submitted. All assignments are due at the beginning of the designated class or conference
period. If not submitted when I collect them during class or the scheduled conference, they are considered late. Late
drafts will be accepted, but will be penalized 5% per class session. If you miss a group discussion or peer
editing session, that work cannot be made up. Class work and homework cannot be made up. Pop
quizzes cannot be made up. Exams, including in-class essays, usually cannot be made up unless the
absence is in observance of a religious holy day.
Attendance: The misfortune of having failed to listen or having missed a previous class is no excuse for being
unprepared for a class or for arriving without the assignment which is due that day. (A student with a handicap
is advised to consult the material on Students with Disabilities.) Students attend every class and accept
responsibility for all the material presented in every class whether present or whether some unavoidable
emergency has made it impossible to attend that day. Attendance is taken daily. Each student is responsible for
signing the class list both first and last name or for making sure his/her name is called. The class lasts only an hour
and 15 minutes and students are expected to remain in the room throughout. A student who is absent more than
three times, or consistently arrives late or leaves early, is likely to miss important instructions or assignments and to
fail the course. If you realize you are failing the course, you must drop the course on your own before 4 pm DAY
DATE. If you simply stop attending, I will not drop you. You will get a grade of FX and may have to pay back
financial aid.
Student Learning Outcomes for English 1302:
You will show you can write a five-paragraph essay with an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion,
analyzing another essay or analyzing a painting or poem. You will be able to classify, explain, & criticize strategies
used in the essays and stories you read. You will be able to use logic, examples, statistics, and citations from experts
to support two sides of complex issues. You will follow directions regarding each assignment. You will demonstrate
the ability to use the library and the internet effectively and to produce a Works Cited page in proper MLA format,
in conjunction with in-line citations within your paper. You will produce an outline for each essay or research paper,
using standard MLA format. You will avoid major sentence errors and other errors in grammar, punctuation,
spelling, and format. You will avoid “filler” and “froth” and will always offer details to support your thesis.
SUPPORT SERVICES: Tutoring: Free tutoring is available in SJAC 384. Check door for schedule.
Library: The Library is on the third floor of the Learning Hub. Be sure to obtain a free student i.d. at
once so you can check out books or use the photocopy or printer. Open Computer Labs: Computers
are available in the Library (3rd floor of the Learning Hub) and in SJAC 384. Check for hours.
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION: Any student with a documented disability (e.g., physical,
learning, psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) who needs to arrange reasonable accommodation must
contact the Disability Support Services Office at the beginning of each semester. Faculty are
authorized to provide only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services Office in
the Learning Hub 106, or call counselors at 713-718-5165. To visit the ADA website, log onto
www.hccs.edu, click Future Students, scroll down the page and click on the words Disability Information.
Anything in this syllabus, including assignments and exam weightings, is subject to alteration by the
instructor at any time.
Electronic Equipment: Turn off all your personal electronic equipment before entering class, and do
not charge your battery in this classroom, or you may receive a zero in participation for the day. If you
leave the room during an in-class or in-lab assignment, place your phone on my desk to avoid suspicion of
soliciting outside help and receiving a zero for that assignment.
A student who is experiencing an emergency situation and anticipates an urgent call during class
time must inform the instructor before class begins and, out of consideration for the other students,
must leave the classroom before answering such a call, if one occurs. If a student has not consulted
the instructor, and leaves the room to answer a call, the student may be barred from the classroom for that
day and will be marked absent.
Computers, PDAs, etc.: No chat, email, games, camera phone use, etc. while class is in session. None
allowed in class during quizes or in-lab essays. Same ejection rules apply. You may photograph whatever is
on the screen or on the board, or copy notes from the classroom computer onto your flash drive.
Never give me—or anyone—your only copy of anything. Always keep a copy for yourself.
Classroom Etiquette: When someone, whether instructor or student, has the floor during lecture or
discussion, the class must pay attention to that person, not interrupting. If any student has to be addressed
more than once for talking out of turn, s/he will be barred from the class until s/he can meet with me
outside class to determine a solution to his/her problem—and it is the student’s responsibility to catch me
before the next class period. Every class missed, of course, counts as an absence. Concerning work for
other classes: do this course’s work in this class. If you lack enough work to occupy you during this class,
it is easy to find much more for you to do.
Attendance grade: You will earn an attendance grade based on the following scale:
0 absences = 100 (A+); 1 absence = 90 (A-); 2 absences = 85 (B); 3 absences = 75 (C);
4 absences = 70 (C-); 5 absences = 65 (D); 6 absences = 55 (F); 7+ absences = 50 or less (F).
Course withdrawal: If you elect to withdraw formally from any HCC class and thereby receive a “W” on your
grade transcript, you must contact a HCC counselor or your professor prior to the withdrawal deadline for the
current semester to initiate the process. If you do not do so and simply cease to attend, you will receive a final
grade (quite likely “F”) based on your course average in relation to the full slate of required assignments.
Grading Scale: A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79%
IP or F 60-69% XF if you stop coming
IP (In Progress grade) is given to students who do not meet the minimum grading standards but who are in good
standing (have completed all assignments on a timely basis, have attended class regularly, have participated,
etc.). An IP is not the same as an Incomplete and does not affect a student’s GPA but does require the student to
re-take the course. IP may only be given once per course per student. W (Withdrawn) is no longer given to a
student who exceeds the 12.5% maximum absence limit. A student who wishes to drop the course must formally
withdraw through the Registrar before the last drop date. D or F may be given in cases of scholastic dishonesty
or other severe academic violations.
I will not calculate your semester grade for you during the course. Your grade is a simple average of
all major assignments. Minor assignments are combined and included as one major HW assignment.
Keep track of your own running average. Do not ask me to do this for you. I calculate at the end of the
semester, when I turn in final grades.
IMPORTANT NOTICES: Students who must repeat a course face significant tuition/fee increases at HCC and
at other Texas public colleges and universities. If you are considering course withdrawal because you are not earning
passing grades, talk to your instructor or counselor about your study habits, reading skills, attendance, course
participation, and opportunities for tutoring or other assistance that might be available. The number of withdrawals
from any class is limited.
If you intend to withdraw from this course, do so before Tuesday, October 24th, at 4:30 p.m., or your
final grade might be in jeopardy. Students who stop attending class and do not withdraw themselves prior
to this deadline may be assigned the final grade of FX, compared to an earned grade of F, which is due to
poor performance. Please note that HCC will not disburse financial aid funding for students who
have never attended class. Students who receive financial aid but fail to attend class will be reported to
the Department of Education and may have to pay back their aid. A grade of FX is treated exactly the
same as a grade of F in terms of GPA, probation, suspension, and satisfactory academic progress.
The essays and movies discussed in this course will aim at the following goals: First and foremost, to
enable you to use standard MLA format for sentences, paragraphs, outlines, and essays, as explained
above. Second, to promote the benefits of good attitudes, such as being grateful for all the good things in
our lives. Third, and perhaps most important, to present a path leading to good habits—habits based on
basic principles of honor and integrity, within your own mind and in relationship to other people—habits
to encourage both independence in your thoughts and behavior, and to enable interdependence when you
interact with other people. Our culture requires both. Dumping your spouse or your job fails to show
independence. Instead it shows a failure of interdependence, for we all need to interact well with others..
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. Your specific comments will be anonymous, but the
professor will know that you participated, and those students who do participate will have one point added
to their final grade, which sometimes will move a grade from, for example, a 79 (C+) to an 80 (B-). The
anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professor so that s/he can improve his/her
teaching style, as well as to division chairs for continual improvement of instruction at HCCS. Look for
the EGLS3 as part of the Houston Community College Student System available online:
hccs.edu/EGLS3
If you ever have difficulty organizing your ideas, you might drop them into one of the
following templates to see what works in and what’s still missing from your paper. Copy and use the
templates as often as you like.

[Finally, list Three Claims, one for the topic of the first paragraph in the body of your essay and one
for each of the topics of the other two paragraphs of your essay, in order.. Avoid any specific claims at
this time.. This is only the introduction. Save the detailed claims for those three body paragraphs.] In
particular, I will show that_______________________________________________________ [topic

______________________________________________________.

According to [name a popular opinion or name an expert; give page number if this opinion or expert is
from a printed source, and use quote marks only if you are giving the source’s exact words and exact
punctuation] ______________________________________________________________________

quote implies.]

discussion of how this point supports the claim made in this paragraph.]

_____________________________________________________________________________
[Use this same technique to make a second point. Use it a third time to make a third point.. Choose the
strongest three claims you can find. Readers often get tired of reading if you use more than three
claims. These three points should be enough for one paragraph.]
Finally, in one to three sente4nces, drive home the point you made in this paragraph by explaining how
this paragraph itself supports your overall thesis for the essay.]
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________.
