<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Assessments
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">See Writing Inquiry (Part III) for specific information about Writing Assignments (WAs)

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">April 30 at 10-11:30 in the Sam Rayburn Student CenterSRC. The Celebration of Student Writing is an event held every semester where students enrolled in ENG 1302 demonstrate and show-off what they learned in their research projects.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Celebration of Student Writing **

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">All sections of ENG 1302 are required to participate. You must create some kind of display with artifacts, visual elements, and information about what you learned in your research. The “celebration” will look like a science fair with rows of tables and projects displayed.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Your participation in this event is mandatory, so if you have a class scheduled on Monday, April 30 between 10-11:30, contact me. Plan to arrive approximately 20 minutes early to set up (9:40).

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This assignment measures students’ critical thinking skills (Student Learning Outcome 1) and will be assessed for Core Curriculum Assessment for the University College every four years. The analysis of this assessment will not impact your grade.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This assignment also measures students’ oral and visual communication (Student Learning Outcome 2) and will be assessed for Core Curriculum Assessment for the University College every four years.


 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Note cards/ Quizzes/ In-class participation **

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This category includes in-class writing assignments, informal writing assignments, notecards, group work, and class discussion. Make sure to complete all reading assignments before class, because we will discuss each reading as a group. I believe knowledge is created through such group collaboration—the unique intersection of all of our perspectives, ideas and experiences. So for our class to be successful, each of you needs to come to class ready to ask your questions and share your insights. I will typically ask you to prepare for our discussion by writing an in-class response at the beginning of class (note cards). If I notice that our discussion is not fruitful (due to a lack of preparation), I will give pop quizzes, as well. Since each of you has chosen to become a college scholar, I do not expect this to happen.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS


 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Flash drive or other means (dropbox.com account, for example) of storing digital versions of the essays and other written material you generate (always, always keep a backup of everything you turn in!)
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">A valid, working email address that you check often (everyday)

Your instructor’s communication preference is e-mail, and her address is: michelle.tvete@tamuc.edu. Also, each instructor in the department of literature and languages is required to keep at least three office hours per course per week.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Interaction with Instructor Statement
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The instructor’s communication response time and feedback on assessments are stated clearly.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">COURSE AND UNIVERSITY PROCEDURES/POLICIES

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Course Specific Procedures/Policies
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Attendance/Lateness, Late Work, Missed Exams and Quizzes and Extra Credit

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Grievance Procedure
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students who have concerns regarding their courses should first address those concerns with the assigned instructor in order to reach a resolution. Students who are unsatisfied with the outcome of that conversation or have not been able to meet individually with their instructor, whether in-person, by email, by telephone, or by another communication medium, should then schedule an appointment with the Director of First-Year Writing, Dr. Jessica Pauszek.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Where applicable, students should also consult University Procedure 13.99.99.R0.05 (“Student Appeal of Instructor Evaluation”).

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Syllabus Change Policy
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The syllabus is a guide. Circumstances and events, such as student progress, may make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. Any changes made to the syllabus will be announced in advance.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Collection of Data for Measuring Institutional Effectiveness
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">In order to measure the level of compliance with the university’s Institutional Effectiveness guidelines, throughout the semester, I will collect some of the ungraded texts you produce. The texts will be part of a portfolio created on your behalf and will be measured to ensure that our program “promotes practices that result in higher student academic achievement; an enhanced student experience; aligned and transparent decisions; and readily available information for improvement, accountability, and accreditation” (see “Department of Institutional Effectiveness,” []). This is solely an assessment of program effectiveness and in no way affects students’ course grades or GPAs.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Student Conduct
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Tenets of Common Behavior statement: All students enrolled at the university shall follow the tenets of common decency and acceptable behavior conducive to a positive learning environment. (See current Student Guidebook);

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students should also consult the Rules of Netiquette for more information regarding how to interact with students in an online forum: [|Netiquette][]

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">TAMUC Attendance
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Since our class meets three times a week, you may miss up to six (6) times without penalty. After the seventh absence, your final grade may be affected.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Three tardies=one absence. Please arrive for our class on time. Coming in late not only means that you are missing important information/discussion and showing disrespect for your professor—it distracts your fellow students who have put in the necessary effort to arrive on time.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">The university has no policy for “excused absences” except for university sanctioned events and military events/requirements, so please save your absences for illness, court appearances, child care arrangements, and other situations when you must miss class.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">For more information about the attendance policy please visit the [|Attendance] webpage and [|Procedure 13.99.99.R0.01]. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">[]
