& Johnson The Little Brown Handbook (Eleventh edition) by
Fowler and Aaron They Say, I Say by Graff and Birkenstein The

to write in the journal, plus a third
pen with a different color of ink 2 (or more) 2-pocket folders
to hold class handouts and writings. Bring both pens and notebook
to every class. Bring books as assigned.
-
3. ATTENDANCE POLICY
ATTENDING CLASS Class attendance is required in English 1001. Do
not come late to class. The scheduled research visits to the
library are also required. Students who miss Library Visits without
an excused absence will fail the research essay.
2
Students should meet with the instructor immediately after
returning to class after an absence to set up dates for making up
assignments missed due to an excused absence.
EXCUSED ABSENCES To earn an excused absence for illness (or
another acceptable reason), a sh1dent must contact the instructor
by phone or e-mail or in person prior to the absence.
Do not come to class sick and infect other students. Stay in
bed, recuperate, and ask for an excused absence.
Students who are ill (or recovering in bed) should keep up with
their assigned work unless they are incapable of doing so. They
should have a friend or another sh1dent deliver and pick up their
assignments so they don't fall behind.
Acceptable reasons for excused absences include: infectious
illness, illness requiring bed rest, hospitalization, the necessity
of attending a funeral of a close relative, leaving town as a
member of a student organization to an EID-sponsored event, or
answering a summons to appear in court
Class comes first. All other activities must be scheduled around
class, not during class. Thus, the following are not acceptable
excuses for missing class: forgetting or oversleeping, attending a
fraternity or sorority event, attending a review session for
another class, a family vacation or get-together, a doctor's or
dentist's appointment, an appointment with an advisor, counselor,
or resident assistant, a minor non-infectious illness, missing a
bus, a train, or a flight, travel delays or car problems, a "ride"
leaving early, weather delays lasting less than 24 hours.
Make plans to be on campus at least 24 hours before class time
to avoid missing class because of travel delays. Arrange rides and
tickets to ensure your departure time is after, not before class or
conferences.
PENALTIES FOR ABSENCE AND TARDINESS Students who miss class
without an excused absence will not be allowed to make up missed
points. Tardy students will be counted absent and may be excluded
from class.
Attendance at conferences is required, and students who miss a
conference without an excused absence will lose 10 points for each
essay conference missed and 5 points for each revision conference
missed.
10 ABSENCE LIMIT To get credit in this class, you must attend.
Students who miss more than 10 classes for ANY reason will not
receive credit in the course.

3 4. COURSE OBJECTIVES
COURSE OBJECTIVES In English 1001, sh1dents are expected to
achieve and demonstrate competence in reading and writing and doing
analysis and research at the college level. They should learn how
to read texts critically, how to conduct research, and how to write
essays, including research essays.
BROADER OBJECTIVES This course is intended to teach you how to
think, how to achieve, and how to be a better student. You should
develop skills of critical thinking while also remaining open
minded and tolerant of cultural diversity. Skills taught should
help you become a success in intellectual and other endeavors even
outside of college
5. WRITING REQUIREMENTS
FORMAT FOR WRITTEN WORK For all written work:
• Use margins of at least one inch on top, bottom, and sides. •
Use black ink for printed work, black or blue ink for handwritten
work. • For typed work, use 81/2by11 inch white paper.
For Essays: • Write on one side of the paper only. • Paper clip,
don't staple, your essays. • Double space. If you are hand-writing,
skip every other line. • If writing by hand, you may use pages tom
out of the journal, but
trim the left edge so it is even. For Journal Entries:
See Journal Guidelines at the end of this handout.
THE WRITING CENTER If you struggle with writing in this class or
in another, I encourage you to visit The Writing Center in 3110
Coleman Hall for help. To schedule an appointment, drop by or call
581-5929. The Writing Center is open Mon. through Thurs. 9am-3pm,
6pm-9pm and on Friday from 9am to lpm. The Writing Center seeks to
help any student from any major at any stage of his or her writing
process. This free service provides one-to-one conferences with
writing center consultants who value and respect their writing
clients.
ENGLISH DEPARTMENT'S PLAGIARISM POLICY "Any teacher who
discovers an act of plagiarism -- 'The appropriation or imitation
of the language, ideas, and/ or thoughts of another author, and
representation of them as one's original work' (Random House
Dictionary of the English Language) -- has the right and the
responsibility to impose upon the guilty sh1dent an appropriate
penalty, up to and including the immediate assignment of a grade of
"F' for the assigned essay and a grade of "F" for the course, and
to report the incident to the Judicial Affairs Office. Respect for
the work of others should encompass all formats, including print,
electronic, and oral sources."
-
4 6. CONFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
After you have turned in your essay for grading, the instructor
will go over it with you one-on-one in a 15 minute conference (30
minutes for the research essay). These conferences will usually be
scheduled out of class. Scheduling for these conferences will take
place during the first or second week of classes so sh1dents can
plan their fuhtre schedules around these conference times.
Essays will be due before the conferencing period begins so the
instructor can look over the essays before the conferences.
Conferences can be rescheduled until the date the essay is date
if there are any open times, or conferences can be rescheduled if
the sh1dent can arrange to switch times with another student.
Conferences cannot be rescheduled at the last minute except in
cases of an excused absence.

7. REVISION REQUIREMENTS
After a student has received feedback about an essay, he or she
will be required to do a revision of that essay, correcting errors
and incorporating as many improvements as possible to the content
as well as the writing. A seven minute conference will be scheduled
during class time (or out of class) for the instructor to go over
the revision with the student.
Revisions will be due at the onset of the revision conferencing
period (and not at the conference), so the instructor can look over
them ahead of time.
Revisions receive a separate grade that counts nearly one half
as much as the original essay. Revisions are graded on a stricter
scale than essays. Thus, a revision may receive a lower grade than
the original essay if few improvements have been made or if new
errors have been introduced.
Errors unmarked in an essay still count off on a revision.
Students should strive to improve the essay as a whole, not just
correct the errors that are marked.
Revisions must be turned in with the original graded essay so
the instructor can compare the two and give full credit for
improvements.
-
5 8. CLASS WORK REQUIREMENTS
TAKING NOTES OVER LECTURES AND READINGS Students are urged to
read assignments TWICE to aid them in analyzing readings.
Comprehension and retention of lectures and assigned readings is
required. Students will be graded on their understanding and memory
of course content. To aid in remembering, students are required to
take notes over lectures and type class notes in complete
sentences.
With an excused absence, a student can make up missed notes by
borrowing notes from another sh1dent and hand writing them, giving
credit to the original note taker.
9. DEADLINES AND LATE WORK
LATE WORK POLICY No late work will be accepted. Early work gets
extra credit.
Because handwritten work will be accepted for writing
assignments in English 1001, excuses involving computers will not
be accepted for late work. If you intend to use a computer for your
written assignments, plan ahead for such problems as hard-drive
failure, disk failure, printer failure, power failure, computer
malfunction, printer malfunction, data loss, files not opening,
etc. Know where you can find another workable computer to use if
yours quits. Give yourself enough lead time before the due date to
switch computers and reformat your work, if necessary. Back up all
of your computer files. Save and print out copies of your drafts
regularly.
MISSING OR LOST WORK Students are responsible for keeping a copy
of all written work submitted for credit in the course and must
supply a substitute copy of that work if an assignment is missing
or lost.
EXTRA CREDIT In order to encourage early work instead of late
work, the instructor offers sh1dents extra credit for submitting
tests and writing assignments before the deadline (at least a day
ahead but no more than one class period ahead).
Early work may be turned in to the instructor himself, may be
left at his office, or may be h1med in to his mailbox in room 3155
Coleman hall between 8 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Students may also earn deserved points through extra credit or
may lose 5or10 points by missing class or conferences or up to 100
points by disrupting class. Students who show sustained exceptional
improvement in their writing toward the end of the semester or make
an exceptional contribution to the course may earn bonus points
toward their final grade.
-
7 11. THE END OF THE COURSE
THE END OF THE SEMESTER No late work will be accepted after the
last day of class (Apr. 29). Incompletes are not given in English
1001. If a student has a question, appeal, request, or other
business pertaining to this class, it must be settled before the
end of classes. Student grades will be turned in at that time, and
the instructor will schedule no further appointments or
consultations with students afterwards. Any sh1dent having read
this far in the Guidelines may earn 5 points extra credit by
e-mailing the instructor before our next class and writing "extra
credit" in the subject line.
FINAL EXAMINATION There is no Final Examination.

12. GUIDELINES FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES PROGRESS REPORTS
Like any other skill, writing becomes better with practice. In
order to give you practice at writing and prepare you for the essay
assignments, you are assigned to write 6 journal entries and 14
progress reports this semester. They are graded on effort as
outlined below:
1. Journal entries must be written and turned in on time. They
can be turned in a class or a day early for one or two points of
extra credit. Progress Reports cannot be early.
2. Journal entries and progress reports must be over 100 words
in length (unless specified otherwise) - one half page long (if
handwritten) and just under one half page long (or more) if typed
and double-spaced in a normal font.
3. Journal entries must be devoted to a single assigned topic.
That topic should be developed as much as possible in the length
assigned. The writing must be divided into paragraphs of
appropriate length.
4. Each journal entry and progress report should be typed or
written in ink and must be given a heading (in the upper left comer
of the page) comprised of the student's name, the date, and the
number of the assignment (e.g. "Journal #1").
5. Each journal entry and report should be given a title
centered at the top of the page. The title should describe the
content of the entry ("Analysis of 'College Pressures"'), not the
assignment number ("Assignment Number Two").
6. Topics for Journal entries will be distributed at the
beginning of the semester. Excellence of content and correct format
are the main criteria for the grade. For journal entries and the
progress reports, correctness of writing does not count. For typed
work, use the format for written work set down in the Guidelines,
section 5 and detailed in #3 and #4 above.
7. The audience for your writing is the Eastern Illinois
University community. This audience is composed of intelligent,
educated adults of diverse ages and backgrounds.
8. Journal entries should be written in the writer's own natural
voice. They should be the work of the Journal writer alone. Outside
sources of information should be credited.
9. Journal entries must be printed out and submitted in hard
copy. Progress Reports should be submitted by e-mail. Submit the
reports in the text of the e-mail. DO NOT send a progress report
(or anything else) as an attachment.

PLAGIARISM "Any teacher who discovers an act of plagiarism-'the

the guilty student an appropriate penalty, up to and including the

serious offense, it can, and has resulted in expulsion from the
university. This class is about learning the necessary skills for
all classes to come, don't cheat yourself.
