Class Attendance and Tardies:
Dual Enrollment students are expected to abide by their district’s Code of Conduct.
Course Requirements:
Students will complete a variety of practice writing both in and out of class to meet the Gordon Rule requirement: paragraphs, free writing, journal writing, and rough drafts. In addition, students will submit at least four 500-word essays for formal grading by the instructor per semester. A 1,200-1,500 word research paper will also be required of all students as the accountability part of the research component of this course per semester. Final drafts of essays must meet all MLA writing guidelines both for format and documentation, as applicable to the essay type.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
JOURNALS:
These must be a minimum of 250-350 words per week. These papers will be written using personal experience. No sources or bibliography will be required; however, you may at times find it helpful to do some research to acquaint you better with your topic. If such is the case, remember to use proper documentation whenever you paraphrase, summarize, or directly quote outside sources. See your handout on Journals for more specific information.
MIDTERM AND FINAL EXAMINATIONS:
The midterm and final exams will be a combination of objective/subjective items and may include: multiple choice, T & F, completion, short answer, and essay. More specific information will be given closer to the exam date. You should be aware that your final exam with your responses will be submitted to the dean at SFCC to ensure the validity of this dual enrollment class.
RESEARCH PAPERS:
A research paper must be a minimum of 1,200 word, typed, double-spaced, using MLA format. We will complete a research paper, in addition to other essays, each semester. Topics will be selected by the students but must be approved by the instructor. It is strongly encouraged that the student selects a topic in which he or she is interested. The paper will include a minimum of seven (7) sources and a bibliography page. Because this paper will require much structural and grammatical revision, it is imperative that the student complete the rough draft of this project in a timely manner.
RESEARCH PAPER PRESENTATIONS:
Upon completion of the research paper, students will work collaboratively to present an abstract of their research papers. To this end, students are encouraged to use a variety of media, such as Power Point, web pages, and other visual aids. Students must participate in this activity to receive full credit for the research paper.
IN-CLASS WRITING:
These in-class exercises will be graded largely upon the student’s understanding of the concept being emphasized at the time.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS:
1. You will be expected to be WELL PREPARED FOR AND TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE in class sessions. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, ASK! It is preferable that you speak up and are wrong than for you not to speak at all. You will need to have all reading and work done at the assigned time or else. Since so much of what we learn in here will be through group discussion, peer editing, and other such cooperative learning activities, this is the year to come out of your shell!
2. Late work is not accepted.*
3. Make-up work is your responsibility. When you return from an EXCUSED absence look over my agendas for the days you missed. Then speak to me about making up the work. If you do not speak to me, I will simply assume you want a 0 for the assignment we did the day you were absent. I will not remind you if you need to make-up a test or quiz. You need to get your make-up work into me in a reasonable amount of time. For example, if you were absent on Monday, get your make-up assignment on Tuesday, and turn it in on Wednesday.
4. If a student knows ahead of time that he or she will be absent on a day when an assignment is due (for example, a pre-arranged absence or field trip), it is the student’s responsibility to turn in the assignment prior to the due date, or send the assignment to the teacher with another student or a parent. Any work may be taken to the school’s office and put in the teacher’s mailbox.
If a student misses class the day an assignment is due but is on campus at any time during that day (for example, missing part of the day due to a half-day field trip), the student is responsible for bringing the assignment to the teacher or getting it to the teacher. Failure to do so will result in a grade of 0.
*WHOOPS PASS PROCEDURES
Each nine weeks, I allow you to turn in one assignment late within 24 hours without penalty, which you will then submit to www.turnitin.com. You should submit it under the Heading “Whoops Pass for 3rd Nine Weeks” or “Whoops Pass for 4th 9 Weeks,” depending on when you are using it. If you do not use it, you will receive 10 points extra credit at the end of the nine weeks.
Remind101 SIGN-UP PROCEDURES
Another method to ensure you remember all major due dates I have incorporated is the use of Remind101, which is a tool that allows me to send you a text message to your phone to remind you of major due dates. (But please keep in mind when you sign up I will not actually know your phone number NOR—more importantly—will you know mine. It is a computer program that allows me to send you a message.) You can sign-up for this by doing the following:
§ Send a text message to 81010 with the message: @04476
§ Once you do this, you will be prompted to give your name
§ Once you send back the second message, you are registered with the class
GRADING:
All grades are done on a point system. In-class assignments and some homework assignments are given a check plus (10 points), a check (8 points), check minus (5 points), or 0; if it is to be worth more I will warn you ahead of time. Your weekly journal assignment is worth 10 points. Group activities are usually worth 25 points. Quizzes are worth 50 points (KEEP IN MIND THAT POP QUIZZES ARE ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY). A participation grade is worth 100 points per nine weeks. Tests are worth 100 points or more. Notebooks are worth a minimum of 100 points each time they are collected. In-class essays and short essays are worth 75 points. Longer essays and research papers will be worth 150-200 points.
NOTEBOOKS:
You are required to have a notebook that you bring to class every day. Blank paper must be kept in the notebook for journal entries, lecture notes, vocabulary and writing assignments. All other class handouts must be kept in the notebook. I will collect these notebooks at the end of each nine weeks. You will need a one-inch three ring binder. The notebook will be collected as followed:
Notebook for 3rd Nine Weeks- due March 10
Notebook for 4th Nine Weeks- due May 12
Requirements for the Notebook:
1. Notebook must be a folder with three brackets.
2. The notebook must contain notebook paper divided by tabs into these sections:
A) HANDOUTS- Your guidebook should be in your handout section.
B) ASSIGNMENTS--includes homework, vocabulary, in-class work, and essays.
3. Your front pocket should hold your Journal Checklists (which needs to be filled out BY YOU at the end of each nine weeks) and your Notebook Checklists (which will be filled out BY ME when I grade your notebook). It should be labeled Journal/Notebook Checklists.
4. The front of the notebook must be clearly marked in the upper right hand corner with the following:
A) Name
B) Subject
C) Period
FORMATTING OF PAPERS (including in-class writings, assignments, formal essays, and journals)
All papers turned in must have the following in the upper left hand corner of the paper:
A) Your Name*
B) Ms. Rosenbaum
C) Class Name- Period
D) Date Due
All papers must have a title for the assignment centered on the page. The title should not be underlined, in bold, or in italics. You should have a creative, appropriate, and specific title for each assignment.
Any typed assignment for this class should be done in Times New Roman 12 point font, be double spaced, have one inch margins around the entire page, and have a heading in the upper right hand corner with your last name and page number of the assignment.
All formal essays, journals, and many other assignments will be turned into www.turnitin.com. You will do peer editing of essays using turnitin. The discussion board feature of turnitin will also be used for certain situations. Finally, all papers will be graded directly on turnitin using its GradeMark feature. Unless I tell you otherwise, you will not need to print off a copy of any assignment turned in to turnitin. I will warn you ahead of time what assignments should be turned into www.turnitin.com. (Note: Make sure when you submit an assignment to www.turnitin.com that you choose UPLOAD DOCUMENT rather than copy and paste. If you upload your document, it will appear EXACTLY the same as it did on your computer. When you copy and paste, it changes the font to a notepad document, and this will lower your grade for not having your paper properly formatted.)
You need to sign-up for the class by going to www.turnitin.com and entering the following:

*Note: Since you are allowed to be anonymous as you peer edit a classmate’s essay on turnitin, I will allow you to make up a pseudonym when you submit a draft of an essay that will be peer edited on www.turnitin.com. I will warn you ahead of time if what you submit will be peer edited.
