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. FACET AND LEARNING SUPPORT SERVICES Call Technical Support at 918-595-2000 The following services are available at the designated locations on the TCC college campuses to assist the student in this course: You have access to English specialists who can tutor you on your writing at any TCC campus. Some campus writing centers require you to make an appointment, but you do not need to make an appointment at the FACET Center at Northeast Campus. You may submit your writing assignments to an English specialist or tutor in the FACET Center at Northeast Campus. See the instructions on enrolling in the NEC FACET Center organization site on Blackboard. You will find the instructions in course information. 2 The TCC Northeast Campus FACET Center combines instructional technology with individualized instruction and resources for refining skills in math, writing, speaking, research, and computers. The FACET Center is located in the Enterprise Building. Finally, all TCC campuses have writing, math, and computer labs where you can speak with a tutor. TEACHING METHODS To facilitate the classroom participation, we will use Discussion Board as a means of communication. Points will be given for each “discussion” to ensure a larger number of participation. Each “discussion,” whether under Discussions or Journal, I will guide students with student self-assessment, exercises and questions to be answered, and create a conversation amongst students by writing posts and replies to other students. I will post videos, assignments, and computer relevant tasks on our Blackboard page. Under the Course Information tab on Blackboard I will set up tests, assignments, and essay assignments. Students will keep an online calendar to keep as an academic planner. Finally, I will create a weekly schedule for each week, specifically stating what is required for students to succeed. ATTENDANCE – TIME COMMITMENT – STUDENT EXPECTATIONS Attendance (regular participation in the online classroom) is essential for maintaining the best learning environment. Learning occurs in relationship not only between student and course materials, but, as importantly, peer to peer, professor to student, and student to professor. For an 8 week course, you are expected to log into course at least four times a week (and weekends if you wish). Attendance will be monitored by Blackboard. It is set up to record when you log in. NOTE: This Internet class demands that the student be self-motivated and self-disciplined. You are responsible for keeping up with the schedule, assignments, and exams. I will be contacting you throughout the semester by email, and Blackboard is available at all times. If you email me and do not have a response from me in twenty-four hours, you should follow up the email with a phone call to my office, 918-595-8425. I answer email as quickly as possible. Sometimes email does go astray due to human error or technological glitches. In the email message, include a subject heading in the email and in the email itself a salutation, your full name and the name of the course you are taking. Include your full name at the end of the email message to me. Unless you include your name at the end, I have no way of knowing whether you have completed the message. TCC Distance Learning Office requires that you take an Internet Orientation. What You Should Understand About Internet Classes 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Be realistic about the amount of time required to do the coursework Plan to spend 3 to 5 clock hours for every credit hour Schedule class time as if you were attending class on-campus Turn in your work ON TIME Online is NOT easier! This online class has deadlines and penalties for late work Participate actively in the class 3 8. Use e-mail and the discussion boards to communicate often with your instructor and other classmates 9. Log into the class at least 3 times a week (every day is best) 10. Do NOT fall behind in your assignments 11. ASK for help when you need help Required software: Microsoft Office, 2007/2010 You will need to have an appropriate word processing program for this class: Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010. Microsoft Works and Wordpad will NOT suffice; assignments in those word processing programs will not/cannot be graded. TCC provides Microsoft Office 2010 FREE to all students. See Student Resources tab in Blackboard for instructions on downloading Microsoft Office 2010. Having the appropriate word processing program for this class is vital because your documents must maintain formatting, especially to conform to Modern Language Association (MLA) style. If you need help, call 918/595-2000, the TCC Helpdesk. TECHNICAL SKILL REQUIREMENTS Students who enroll in this online class should have basic computer skills: know how to save files and send attachments. Students must also have an up-to-date version of Microsoft Word. See “Required Software” above. Students should be comfortable with the following: using a word processor (changing fonts, spell check, indenting) using email for communication sending file attachments whether in the Blackboard site or email navigating the Internet downloading appropriate plugins using an Internet search engine (see below) TCC PLAGIARISM POLICY Deliberate plagiarism is claiming, indicating, or implying that the words, ideas, or sentences of another writer are one's own. It includes having another writer do work claimed to be your own, copying the work of another and presenting it as your own, or following the work of another as a guide to ideas and expression that are then presented as one's own. The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may: (i) require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test; (ii) record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question; (iii) recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class; and (iv) record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. DELIBERATE PLAGIARISM WILL RESULT IN FAILING MY CLASS, NO QUESTIONS, AND NO NEGOTIATIONS. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY OR MISCONDUCT Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Academic dishonesty is behavior in which a deliberately fraudulent misrepresentation is employed in an attempt to gain underserved intellectual credit, either for 4 oneself or for another. Academic misconduct is behavior that results in intellectual advantage obtained by violating specific standard, but without deliberate intent or use of fraudulent means. The student should review the relevant sections of the TCC Student Code of Conduct Policy Handbook. SUBMITTING ASSIGNMENTS All assignments (outside of discussions, journals, and academic calendar) are to be submitted though Submit Here in the Blackboard classroom. Your graded assignments will be returned through Blackboard. If you submit an assignment and realize that you need to make a change, email me that you have submitted your assignment, but that you need to make an important change to the file. You may attach the corrected file in the email message. I will, however, clear the attempt so that you may submit the file in assignment again. You must email me within twenty-four hours of first submitting the assignment in order to receive this second chance. If, because of a College-wide problem with Blackboard, you are unable to access the Blackboard server to turn in your assignment, please email it to me: sloan.davis@tulsacc.edu with an explanation of why you are sending the file through the email. I will accept assignments by email only during emergency situations. In the message, make sure you include a subject heading in the email and in the email itself a salutation, your full name and the name of the course you are taking. I do not read emails with no subject headings; in fact, I delete them as potential virus spreaders. Also, I use Blackboard for all of my classes, both online and oncampus, so I need to know which class you are taking. Unless you include your full name at the end of the email, I have no way of knowing if the email is complete, or if you might have pressed the send button prematurely. If your personal computer crashes or is otherwise unavailable, that does not absolve you of your work in this online class. TCC provides computer labs on all four campuses; as an online student, you may work in those computer labs. Public libraries also offer limited access to computers with Internet connection. TCC also has an agreement with OSU-Tulsa for TCC students to use computers and the library at OSU-Tulsa. Check with OSU-Tulsa for the hours: http://www.osu-tulsa.okstate.edu/library/Hours.htm, or 918/594-8130. MAKE-UP AND LATE ASSIGNMENT/EXAM POLICY Every 24 hours an assignment is late 20 points will be deducted. Assignments are due by Friday at midnight at the end of each week. If, for whatever reason, you miss a test, you must email me and explain your reason. We might have to meet in person and you might have to have documentation. Most times, I will not allow make-up tests. MAC USERS If you have a Mac computer, you must make sure the assignment files you create to send have an extension on them: Harper_Collier.doc or Harper_Collier.docx. Without the extension, the work CANNOT be graded which will result in a zero on the assignment. Follow the steps below if you are not familiar with adding the extension: Step I: If you can, save the file on your Mac using the same program (such as Microsoft Word or Excel) as you'll be using on the PC. Make sure to add the three-letter file extension (such as “.doc”) when saving the file. Step 2: If you don't have the same program in Mac and PC versions, try saving your file in a common format, such as Rich Text Format (RTF), which most word processors can read. 5 Step 3: If the first two options don't work, buy a conversion program for your PC to translate Mac file formats. REVIEWING GRADED WORK To review your graded work, follow the steps below: Option 1: 1. Log into Bb 2. Click on My Grades button 3. Click the grade next to the name of the assignment 4. Look for the returned file under Review Submission History 5. Open the file and read the comments; save the file to your computer or flashdrive 6. Refer to those comments to help you as you continue working in the course 7. Ask questions if you do not understand the comments or need clarification Option 2: 1. Log into Bb 2. Click on Submit Here button 3. Click on the name of the assignment such as E1 4. Locate the returned file, open it, read the comments 5. Refer to those comments to help you as you continue working in the course 6. Ask questions if you do not understand the comments or need clarification Put the comments into a Word document and use them as a checklist for revising your work. Add other items that you know you need to work on. USING THE DISCUSSION BOARD No inappropriate language or content will be tolerated. If the posting could be construed as including sexual, ethnic or other types of harassment, the student will be removed from the discussion board and reported to the Dean of Students. Post your own material unless you wish to quote a passage; in that case, you must clearly identify where you found the passage. See the section on plagiarism for further information. COMMUNICATING WITH THE INSTRUCTOR I check my email frequently and will respond to you as quickly as I can, usually within twentyfour hours. I also expect to return your graded work as quickly as possible. Usually that means you will receive it in seven days, or fewer. If you email me and you do not receive a response in three days, you need to phone me at 918/595-8425 because of the likelihood that your email has not reached me. Check the announcement page for any updates or special news that may arise. Always include a subject heading in emails you send me, a greeting, and your full name in the email even though the TCC email address identifies you. Unless you add your name to the end of the email, I cannot be sure you have completed the email or perhaps have pressed the send button too quickly. You must check your TCC email account frequently; I will communicate with you by email to your TCC account. You may have the TCC email forwarded to an account you check often. See the Student Resources tab for instructions. WRITING EMAILS You should consider email in the same way you would consider a business memorandum. Use correct spelling, grammar, usage, and sentence structure. In addition, communicate clearly and concisely, using appropriate word choices and tone. In Simon and Schuster Handbook for 6 Writers, Lynn Troyka and Doug Hesse indicate, “Tone is more than what you say; tone is how you say it” (15). Maintain or enhance your professional credibility with the image you present in your writing. Your email to your instructor should follow the same guidelines. Never write anything in any email that you would not be willing to have circulated among a number of other people. Email is not private, and a few employees have been fired for inappropriate email messages. Include your class identification in the subject line: Engl 1003. Begin the email with a greeting, type your message in complete sentences, using proper punctuation, capitalization, and correct grammar. End the email with your name, first and last. ONLINE CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE Students are expected to display tolerance for others’ views on the Blogs, Discussion Board, Wikis and through emails. Comments and language should be respectful and appropriate for a college community.

GRADE BREAKDOWN A 900-1000 B 800-899 C 700-799 D 600-699 7 F 599 and below Essays are to be neatly typed and double-spaced on unlined 8 ½" x 11" paper, with 1" top, bottom, and side margins, in 12 point Times New Roman font. Your last name and page number should appear in the upper right corner of each page. Follow standard conventions in punctuation and capitalization. The first page should include your name, your instructor’s name, the specific assignment, and the date in the upper left corner, flush with the left margin. PAPER FORMAT: Double-space all your typed work. See example below. ________________________________________________________________________ Your Name Prof. Sloan Davis Type of Paper (assignment) Date: xx/xx/xx Title of Paper Begin here… The “A” paper meets all the course objectives (Note: it may contain a few minor deficiencies), shows originality of thought, fulfills the requirements of the assignment, and contains no serious errors in mechanics. The “A” paper exhibits outstanding work. The “B” paper meets all the course objectives (Note: it may contain a few minor deficiencies), fulfills the requirements of the assignments, and contains no serious errors in mechanics. The “B” paper exhibits above average work. The “C” paper attempts to meet all the course objectives but falls short in certain areas, fulfills the requirements of the assignments, and may contain a very few serious errors in mechanics. The “C” paper exhibits average work. The “D” paper attempts to meet all the course objectives but falls short in certain areas, fulfills the requirements of the assignments, and may contain serious errors in mechanics. The “F” paper attempts to meet all the course objectives but falls short in certain areas and may contain serious errors in mechanics. Serious Errors in Mechanics: 1. Unjustified Sentence Fragment 2. Comma Splice 3. Fused Sentences 4. Semicolon Separating an Independent and a Dependent Clause 5. Confused Pronoun Reference 6. Wrong Pronoun Case 7. Excessive Errors in Spelling and Punctuation W, AW, I, and F Grades 8 A "W": A Withdrawal (W) is initiated by student up to 3/4 through the course. The last 1/4 of the course, students receive their earned grade. Course Withdrawal: The deadline to withdraw from a course shall not exceed 3/4 the duration of any class. Check the TCC Academic Calendar for the deadline that applies to the course(s). Begin the process with a discussion with the faculty member assigned to the course. Contact the Advisement Office at any TCC campus to initiate withdrawal from a course ('W' grade) or to change from Credit to Audit. Withdrawal and/or change to an audit from a course after the drop/add period can alter the financial aid award for the current and future semesters. Students may receive an outstanding bill from TCC if the recalculation leaves a balance due to TCC. Students who stop participating in the course and fail to withdraw may receive a course grade of “F,” which may have financial aid consequences for the student. An "F" versus "AW": Attendance is the first requirement for students to continue to receive financial aid, defer student loans, and/or stay on parents’ insurance. When deciding whether to record a grade of “F” versus a grade of “AW,” I consider whether the student has attended at least 3/4 of class to earn the “F” or was excessively absent and did not earn the “F.” Incomplete (I) Grades: Grades of “I” are awarded sparingly. “I” grades are reserved for students who have attended class regularly and participated satisfactorily (completed successfully the majority of the work), but have a one-time dire documented circumstance at the end of the course that hinders them from completing the course. I do not award a grade of “I” for a student who has been excessively absent or for a student who is failing the class. Note: The syllabus may change as needed. Any changes in schedule will be announced in class. It is your responsibility to note all changes announced by the professor. 9 TENTATIVE COURSE SCHEDULE **Literature Craft &Voice=LCV Instructions: read carefully. Note: schedule might change depending on the needs of this class. Also, understand that an 8 week class moves at twice the speed of a regular 16 week class, so stay on top of the schedule.

(Note: after the first week you can use weekends to start early on the course work).
