MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS:

Essays

All assignments are uploaded through Canvas and do not require a hard copy. Students must submit essays by the due dates. Essays may not be emailed tothe instructor. Students are responsible for submitting documents in Word or PDF format. Most writing applications that are not Microsoft Word have an option under “File” to “Save As” or “Export As” PDF. All writing assignments must be in MLA format. Allessays that require sources must have in-text citations and a Works Cited page. Your final essay, the research paper, is worth the most points. It is the culmination of all we have learned throughout the semester.

Prewriting

Prewriting is informal writing and brainstorming done before your first draft. Prewriting instructions for each essay can be found at the bottom of the essay guidelines in the folder “Prewriting and Essay Guidelines.” A prewriting assignment is not a rough draft. It is a set of numbered activities you should complete. I do not grade spelling and grammar for prewriting, but I do expect you to follow proper MLA format.

Discussion Board

Yourinitialpost,basedonthetopicpresented,isdueby11:59PMWednesdayevenings.Your second post responds to other students and is due by 11:59 PM Sundayevenings.You need to respond to at least two student posts in the discussionforum to receive full points. Every post (or reply to a post) that you write has the same requirement; it should be fullsentences written using college level English. Initial posts are due first, while responses are often due a fewdays later.

PLEASE NOTE: Replies that say “good job,” “Dear Tom,” “I agree with you” and similarstatements don’t count as sentences. If you agree or disagree, please state why. Be sure to add something totheconversation. If the posting is not thoughtful and relevant, you will not earnpoints. Also, follow proper netiquette. For more information, visit:

Quizzes

Quizzes are available through Canvas. Due dates are listed on our schedule. Please make sure to take every quiz by the deadline. You may take each quiz unlimited times. The highest grade will stay in the gradebook. All quizzes are untimed and open book. Quizzes cover book chapters and MLA topics.

Group Work

In groups of 3-4 students, you will create a document called “How to Follow MLA and Avoid Plagiarism.” Imagine that this document is going to read by incoming freshmen. Using what you’ve learned from the MLA folder and the Plagiarism Certificate, create a document with your group that gives students tips on how to format their paper, how to paraphrase, and how to avoid a charge of plagiarism. All group work is done virtually. Be sure to use your own words, but feel free to be creative. Make this document at least 1 page long.

Peer Review

For essays 2-4, you will submit a rough draft of your essay on the Wednesday of the week before the final draft is due. You will then leave comments on two other students’ rough draftsthe following Sunday. Use this feedback to improve your essay. You will receive 10 points for submitting a rough draft and 10 points for reviewing the drafts of two other students (total possible points: 20).

Final Exam

The final exam covers a combination of topics featured in the MLA quizzes. The final is timed and open book. It may only be taken one time.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING WRITING ASSIGNMENTS:

Allwriting assignments need to be formatted according to MLA style: 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins. NO late essays willbe accepted. If necessary, I reserve the right to submit any essays I suspect of plagiarismthrough turnitin.com as well. Technical problems involving personal equipment or data, internet access,or the misuse of Canvas will not beconsidered valid excuses for late work. Don’t wait until the last minute to submit yourpaper! Please also use a proper MLA header for every assignment you submit. You can see a sample of proper first page formatting under “Important Documents” on our Canvas homepage.
