Freshman Composition I
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth reading.”
College Calendar: http://valenciacollege.edu/calendar
NO SHOW POLICY Class attendance is required for face-to-face classes beginning with the first class meeting. If you do not attend the first class meeting, you will be withdrawn from the class as a “no show.” Class attendance is required for online classes; students who are not actively participating in an online class and/or do not submit the required attendance activity or assignment by the scheduled due date must be withdrawn by the instructor at the end of the first week as a "no show." If you are withdrawn as a “no show,” you will be financially responsible for the class and a final grade of “WN” will appear on your transcript for the course.” The No Show Reporting Period is from 01/14/20-01/23/20.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
Per Valencia policy a student who withdraws from class
before the established deadline for a particular term will
receive a grade of “W.” A student is not permitted to
withdraw after the withdrawal deadline.
Any student who withdraws from a class during a third or
subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned
a grade of “F.” The instructor will not withdraw students.
If you do not intend to complete the course, you must
withdraw yourself prior to the withdrawal date. The
withdrawal deadline is 03/20/20 (11:59p.m.). Review the
All work submitted by students is expected to be the
result of the students' individual thoughts, research, and
self-expression. Whenever a student uses ideas,
wording, or organization from another source, the source
shall be appropriately acknowledged. If a student is
caught submitting plagiarized work a first offense will
result in a zero score on the assignment, a second
offense will result a class grade of F.
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Valencia is committed to ensuring that all of its programs
and services are accessible to students with disabilities.
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD)
determines reasonable and appropriate
accommodations for qualified students with documented
disabilities based upon the need and impact of the
specific disability. For more information, go to
http://valenciacollege.edu/osd/
Any student requiring course accommodations due to
physical, emotional or learning disability must contact
the instructor and provide a Notification to Instructor form
by the end of the second week of class. To obtain a
letter of accommodation, contact OSD at 407-582-2229.
BAYCARE STUDENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES
Valencia College strives to ensure all our students have
a rewarding and successful college experience. To that
purpose, Valencia students can get immediate help with
issues dealing with stress, anxiety, depression,
adjustment difficulties, substance abuse, time
management as well as relationship problems dealing
with school, home or work. BayCare Behavioral Health
Student Assistance Program (SAP) services are free to
all Valencia students and available 24 hours a day by
calling (800) 878-5470. If needed, the counselor may
refer the student to appropriate resources or to speak
face-to-face with a licensed counselor.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
It is vital for students to be present in as many classes as possible in order to be successful. Students are permitted a maximum of four unexcused absences during the term. After the fourth unexcused absence, the instructor will deduct five points off the student’s final grade for each additional unexcused absence. In order for any absence to be excused the instructor must receive documentation of a medical emergency, ongoing medical condition, jury duty, deployment/military duties or religious observance. This written documentation
must be submitted upon the student’s first day back to class.
TARDINESS POLICY
If a student arrives late within five minutes of the role
being called, he/she will receive a “tardy.” For every two
tardies that a student receives, one absence will be
deducted.
If a student has perfect attendance (no tardies/no
absences) at the end of the semester, the instructor will
add five points to the student’s final grade.
LATE WORK/MAKEUP POLICY
The submittal time for graded activities is not open-ended; they are expected to be submitted by their due dates. All assignments will be submitted on their due dates at the start of class. You must show-up to class to submit your masterpiece. I will not accept any papers emailed to me without prior arrangements. If you miss work due to a medical emergency, ongoing medical condition, jury duty, deployment/military duties or religious observance and want to submit the assignment late, you will be required to present documentation the first day you return to class. Otherwise, no graded activities will be accepted late.
Please be aware that a broken or ill-functioning
computer, or the inability to retrieve, produce or submit
your assignments from a computer will not be accepted
as a valid excuse for a document that is submitted late.
FINAL EXAM POLICY
The final exam, which makes up 5% of your grade, is
(45%) Three Essays (The instructor will drop the lowest essay grade). (20%) Documented Essay (The Documented Essay is a mandatory part of the course. You cannot pass the course without completing the Documented Essay). (20%) Quizzes (The instructor will drop the lowest quiz grade. There will be no make-up quizzes). (10%) Participation (5%) Final Exam (The final exam is a mandatory part of the course. You cannot pass the course without taking the final exam). CLASSROOM POLICY
Students must at all times behave in accordance with
the student catalogue’s conduct code (6Hx28: 10-18).
Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an
environment of academic achievement and integrity.
Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or
repeatedly interrupts either the instructor's ability to
teach, or a student’s ability to learn, is prohibited. I
encourage the civil discussion of ideas; however,
repeatedly talking without being recognized, talking while
others are speaking, or arguing in a way that is
perceived as “crossing the civility line” will not be
tolerated and students engaged in this behavior may be
asked to exit the classroom. Also, while students are
encouraged to bring laptops, tablets, and smart phones
to class, they are to be used for teacher-initiated
academic activities only.
Please keep your cell phone on vibrate. If your cell
phone rings during class, I will deduct five points off your
final grade for each infraction. If you have an important
call, please step outside of the classroom and return
when you are done. The instructor will keep her cell
phone on in case there is an emergency or important
Valencia Alert.
Always remember that your safety and high-quality
educational experience are my priority.
COMMUNICATION POLICY
The most efficient method for contacting me and
receiving prompt replies is by email on Canvas. I check
this daily, so please make this your first choice.
However, if Canvas is having technical difficulties, you
I will respond to you within 24-48 hours Monday-Friday.
HOW TO GET HELP FOR ENC1101
Ask questions during, before, and/or after class. I am always available to help you grow into an accomplished writer and critical reader.
Look it up! You have many resources at your command. Use your textbooks, handbooks, library resources, and online sources to find answers.

DISCLAIMER STATEMENT
