Class Policies

Attendance

During each class attendance will be taken or class work, a quiz or exam will be turned in as a form of attendance. If you miss the work, quiz or exam you are counted as absent. If you miss more than four classes, you will be dropped. (Missed work of any kind may not be made up.) If you stop attending class after the official drop date, I will have to fail you. If you intend to drop it is your responsibility to do so before the official deadline. If you are asked to leave class because of an etiquette problem, you will be counted as absent.

Participation

Class participation is required. There will be many opportunities to discuss material in class and to dialogue with other students when appropriate. There will be class work, quizzes and written work that cannot be made up if you are not in class. You must have your reading done before you come to class. If you do not, you will be asked to sit in the back and finish your reading and will not be able to take the quiz for that day. You will also be expected to make comments on the class blog about your reading assignments, the lectures or films seen in class or as related to homework. No food or drinks in the classroom. No cell phones. You will be asked to leave if you bring a cell phone, PDA or any other electronic device that is a distraction. You will be expected to follow De Anza’s College official policy of mutual respect.

ADA Statement

If you require reasonable accommodations because of a physical, mental, or learning disability, please notify the instructor of this course within the first two weeks of class.

Class Work/Homework/Blog Comments/Final Project

Class work will be assigned and done in class either individually or in groups. It cannot be made up if it is missed. Homework is rare, but when assigned is due the next class day and late work will not be accepted. Periodically you will be required to make comments on articles, videos clips or other material posted on the blog. This is a form of class participation and you will be graded on it.

The Final Project is an ongoing assignment which will be due toward the end of the quarter and will be discussed more in class.

Cheating

Plagiarism According to the MLA Handbook, “To use another person’s ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the sources is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft.” (p 30)If you do not follow DeAnza’s College official policy of academic integrity you will be failed from the course and turned into the college.

CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM will not be tolerated.

Quizzes and Tests

There will be two midterms given in this course. There will be ten quizzes. Missed quizzes due to tardiness or absenteeism will result in a ‘zero’ grade for that particular quiz and may not be made up.

Written Work

Every week for the 12 weeks there will be one to two in class written assignments (250 words or one page each). Additionally there will be 4 written assignments based on primary source and supplemental material. These assignments will be posted on the blog and will be 100 words each. There will also be a five page research paper due at the end of the quarter.

Class Work

In class written assignments, written blog comments, quizzes and one minute essays are part of ‘Class Work.’

Late Work/Missed Exams

I do not accept late work. I do not allow for makeup exams, unless you speak with me personally before the exam date. You may not take the final early. Missed quizzes cannot be made up.

Grading

The course grading will be determined as follows:

Midterm 1-4: 150 each

Class work: 200

Total Possible: 800

100 – 98% = A+

97 – 93% = A

92 – 90% = A-

89 – 88% =B+

87 – 83% =B

83 – 80% =B-

79 – 78% =C+

77 – 70% =C

69 – 68% =C-

67 – 63% = D

62 – 60 % = D-

59 % and below = F

All percentages will be rounded down. Example: 79.8 = 79% or a C. (See Extra Credit.) No emailed assignments unless requested by the instructor.

Extra Credit

Every student begins the semester with 20 extra credit points. You may keep these points by attending class. Ten points are lost for each absence. If you have extra credit attendance points at the end of the semester, this is to your advantage. The rounding down policy will not apply to you - your grade percentage for the course will be rounded up (74.5 is 75 but 74.4 is still 74).

Blog& Office Hours
