Course Requirements and Expectations

Grading Policy:

Work will be graded weekly. Longer papers could take a bit longer – approximately two and a half weeks. Please check your Moodle grades at least once a week to see updates. Please make note of weights and due dates.

Make-up Work/Late Work:

Major assignments will have a due date and sometimes a “slide” date which is the absolute last date a paper will be accepted to account for IEP and 504 extensions, emergencies, power outages etc. You should plan to have you work completed by the due date to allow for editing and revision. All major projects have several weeks of class time and lab time to complete. There are also drafts and revisions that happen to these projects so the paper really shouldn’t feel rushed. Please communicate with me and Ms. Austin in writing should there need to be an extension due to illness or other family emergency. Once an assignment is used in class, no late submissions will be allowed. Homework has ample advance notice and time in class to complete during lab days. Due dates are upheld. No late work accepted except in an emergency.

Inclement Weather:

When the BCEC is closed, there will be no class and an announcement placed in the Course Announcements. Continue with whatever project we have been working on in class. We DO NOT always close when ABTech closes.

When ABTech is closed all curriculum classes (including online synchronous (Zoom)), are cancelled except for clinical sites that are still operating (i.e. Mission Hospital, etc.).  Assignments are still due!  Please log into Moodle and review instructions from me.

Please sign up for A-B Tech text alerts to receive early weather and emergency notifications. To register, instructions are at https://ABTech.edu/emergency . You may also check the A-B Tech homepage at https://abtech.edu/ for updates. Should you lose power or internet, please contact me ASAP! Likewise, make sure you are getting emails and alerts from Ms. Austin. These are imperative for you to keep up with any and all changes to scheduling.

Note: Online synchronous courses are live online courses that are conducted in real-time.  The instructor and students are together in the same session which will begin and end at a fixed time.

Chain of Communication 

Sometimes, there is a need to talk to someone other than your instructor about your experiences at A-B Tech. If you’re ever in this situation, here is the chain of communication that you want to follow: 

·        First contact: your instructor. Reach me before or after class in Birch 123 or by email at rebecca.hefner@bcsemail.org. Sometimes you may feel awkward talking to me first. Please give it a try anyway. Most problems you encounter can be solved between the two of us. I am here to help. My goal is to strengthen your written voice.

·        Second contact: Anna Austin anna.austin@bcsemail.org and our college liaison, Paula Hayes paulamhayes@abtech.edu. 

·        Third Contact: my department chair at ABTech is Heather Vaughn at heatherkvaughn@abtech.edu. Contact the department chair if you need to report an issue with my class instruction. Do not contact the department chair for routine questions about course assignments or day-to-day activities; those questions should be directed to your instructor. 

·        Fourth contact: the division dean: Steven Heulett (steventheulett@abtech.edu; 828-398-7184; Elm 228). Contact the division dean if you have first tried contacting the instructor, our principal, and the department chair. Contact the division dean if you haven’t heard from the instructor or the department chair in three days or if you need to report an issue with the instructor and have first contacted the department chair. Do not contact the division dean for routine questions about course assignments or day-to-day activities; those questions should be directed to your instructor.  

·        Fifth contact: the Vice President of Instruction, Beth Stewart. Only escalate to this contact in cases of true emergency. Always use the other four contacts first. Her contact information is: bethstewart@abtech.edu.

A-B Tech General Information

Participation Requirements

It is mandatory that the student attend each course at least once during the first 10% of the course (i.e., the census period) or, in the case of online courses, a graded activity must be submitted during the first 10% of the course (i.e., the census activity). For hybrid or HyFlex courses, the student must attend the classroom portion of the course or complete an online graded activity (i.e., the census activity) prior to the 10% point. Failure to attend or complete a graded activity prior to the 10% point will result in the student being dropped from the course. The student will not be allowed to continue in the course or receive a refund.

Important note: reference the BCEC student handbook regarding absences, make up policy, and tardy consequences. This class is semester long. The course ends when the BCEC semester ends. Attendance is key to your success. If there is a conflict and you are going to miss the class for something other than a sickness, please talk to meet about making up instructional time in another block that same day.

When BCS is closed, class will NOT be in session. (This includes snow days). There may be a remote assignment for inclement weather. Check your class announcements for clarification. You are also expected to check your BCEC email daily as school announcements are on that platform as well as in your Moodle’s Course Announcements section.  

Professionalism

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner at all times and adhere to the code of student conduct. In that regard, students will not at any time engage in disruptive, threatening, unethical, disrespectful, or abusive conduct toward other members of the college community, including fellow students, faculty, staff, and/or campus visitors.

Remote Learning: In case we have to return to virtual learning for any reason, you are expected to be professional and respectful.  

BCS dress code applies when on camera. Cover what needs covering and no offensive or provocative attire.

 Sign in with your first and last name as listed on the class roster.  Do not use a nickname or other pseudonym when you log in; doing so makes it impossible to know who is in attendance. Using your full name helps your instructor quickly sort students into their groups when needed. Users who do not provide their full names will NOT be admitted to class. I am required by law to use  the name listed on the BCEC roster.

Stay focused. Please stay engaged in class activities. Close any apps on your device that are not relevant and turn off notifications.

·       Note: Virtual class meetings (including video, audio, and chat text) may be recorded. 

Video

·       Turn on your video. It is helpful to be able to see each other, just as in an in-person class. Don't share anything you wouldn't put up on the projector in class!

Audio

·       Mute your microphone when you are not talking. This helps eliminate background noise.

·       Use a headset when possible. If you own headphones with a microphone, please use them. This improves audio quality.

·       Be in a quiet place when possible. Find a quiet, distraction-free spot to log in. Turn off any music, videos, etc. in the background.

Chat

·       Stay on topic. Use the chat window for questions and comments that are relevant to class. The chat window is not a place for socializing or posting comments that distract from the course activities. If you fill it up with random comments, I will be unable to sort through the information quickly to address students' questions/concerns about the course.

·       No disrespect or hate speech. Just like in our in-person class, respectful behavior is expected. Consider the virtual class to be a professional environment, and act like you're at a job interview, even when you're typing in the chat.

Minimum Technology Requirements:

All students must be confident using Moodle to access course materials. You will be expected to upload essays, respond to discussion forums, review scoring rubrics and feedback from all submitted work, take quizzes, and check your progress in the grade book. If you have any questions about Moodle, contact Instructional Support and Online Learning and refer to the Moodle help links available in the right column of your Moodle.

For problems with student e-mail or Moodle contact A-B Tech’s Helpdesk  

Be sure to check your student email account and the Course Announcements section of Moodle daily to ensure that you have seen all announcements or emails. Course Announcements are posted weekly. However, updates, clarifications, or changes may be added. Use Mozilla Firefox as your web browser (for best efficiency of Moodle – if that fails tries Chrome)

You will need to know how to attach a file to your email, upload your essays in Moodle, use a word process program (like Word and Google Docs), access the internet, and use Moodle. Your assignments must be in one of the following formats:  .doc, .docx, or .rtf. Word documents are best. Save your work to a USB as a general habit. If you are working on a Mac at home, I can show you how to covert the Pages files so it can be read on my work computer,

Students must use the BCS device when in class and to use the BCS Wi-Fi per our safety protocols. No exceptions.

No META glasses may be used in class nor may any recording of class is permitted.

AI Policy

Generative AI and AI that rewrites your work prohibited on final written products. All assignments submitted in this class must be original to each student. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT, in the completion of course assignments is prohibited and will be treated as a violation of academic integrity. Do not allow AI to replace your voice. There will be no credit for work that is not your own and no resubmission allowed. You may use AI to help you brainstorm ideas or to help you outline. It should NEVER replace your voice, your wording, or do the essay writing for you. AI essays are easily identifiable as bland and often flawed in research. Use your brain instead.

Grammarly and other such aids may be used – CAREFULLY. Computer programs do not know what word you meant, only the closest you spelled. I have found many errors in spelling and grammar checkers. They are a tool but NOT your final edit. The goal of this course is clear, professional writing. This course ia a prerequisite to many ABTech classes. Taking shortcuts in this class will not help you move forward and succeed.

English Department Requirements and Expectations

How to successfully complete an English course

·       A weekly announcement will be sent with instructions and guidance for the week. It is important that you pay close attention to this as changes or critical items may be noted. Check both your ABTech and BCEC email accounts daily.

·       Read the section of Moodle for the next week by Mondays syllabus. Read the required pages out of the textbook before the class discussion. Read the assignment instructions. Read your Course Announcements. Looking ahead in Moodle helps you keep pace with the assignments and course.

·       Complete rough drafts for all your assignments. Practice, brainstorming, and making mistakes helps you learn writing rules and strategies. 

·       Read instructor feedback. The best way to build your writing skills is to review the edits and feedback on your writing. When you read instructor feedback, you know what to “fix” for the final draft. When reading feedback don’t just look at the grade and comment box. OPEN YOUR ASSIGNMENT. Edits and comments are made directly on the document to help you grow in your communication skills. I use this to personalize teaching so that you can see how to effectively use grammar and maximize the impact of your words. It is extremely annoying to edit and comment on an issue and see those same mistakes that were corrected and edited were ignored and now showing up in the new or final draft of the assignment. Once I have shown you what to do, I expect change to occur. This is a partnership. I will do my utmost to guide and teach you. Please do your end to work to improve by reading and applying the guidance given.

·       Ask questions about upcoming assignments. Ask for clarification about edits/feedback on your returned work if the edit is unclear or confusing to you. Ask how to use a function on Moodle (i.e. forums or quizzes) you may not know how to access. Ask what you need to be successful.

·       Ensure you have a reliable Internet connection and access to a computer. Computer glitches, power failures, and mix-ups do not count as excuses for late work. You can contact the main office to request a Hot Spot if needed.  

·       Plan ahead. Know due dates for all assignments and schedule time to work on writing projects. Work on writing projects over the course of days (or even weeks). Do not attempt to write an entire essay the day it is due. Submit all work on time in MLA 9 format. Planning ahead is the key to success. Plan time to devote to class readings and writing assignments.

·       Check your grades in Moodle often. Be aware of your progress. Understand the weight of assignments in class, so you know what is at stake if you miss an assignment or earn a low grade on an assignment. See me if you have questions about weights.

·       Connect with another student in your class. Often, fellow students can explain a concept or an assignment in a way you can understand. Additionally, connecting with other students means you create a study group that helps with deadlines, missed class information, and other course work.

·       Use the Writing Center and/or RISE sessions to brainstorm ideas, revise drafts, understand grammatical concepts, etc. In-person meetings tends to provide the most in-depth feedback. This is strongly recommended for each final draft. Also, remember to leave time after each Writing Center appointment (days not minutes) to do revisions.

·       Revise. By starting writing projects early, you give yourself enough time to write a rough first draft, go to the Writing Center, and revise. Revision means eliminating unnecessary words/phrases, ensuring you have not plagiarized, reorganizing ideas, and ensuring all your ideas connect to and prove the thesis. Do not revise using AI. You will lose your voice. I need to see how you use language.

·       Engage. Come to class prepared and ready to build your writing skills. Don’t give up on yourself and don’t make assumptions about what you can and cannot do. This class is your opportunity to analyze and write critically and professionally for other college classes and your future career.

Cancelled Class Policy

English instructors do not cancel classes. If there is inclement weather, if the instructor becomes ill, or if for any other reason the class cannot meet, an announcement will be posted to students’ Course Announcement and an alternative assignment may be created in Moodle. A sub will be assigned to your class to handle attendance and provide materials. If you are in a seated class, you cannot go to the Writing Center or RISE session during a regularly scheduled class period because of federal and state attendance auditing guidelines, even if the instructor has provided a virtual day to complete an assignment and/or conference about your work. 

Content Warning

In addition to works written from a traditional perspective, there will be required reading that some students may consider profane, objectionable, or otherwise challenging and controversial. Our purpose in this course is not to discuss issues of right and wrong but to examine readings and topics in an objective, thoughtful, and mature manner. If you have concerns at any point, please talk with me so that together we can create a comfortable space for you to learn. You have choice in your paper topics. If your family would prefer you not to research a topic, that is for you to address your choices. I do not assign that reading.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism, similar to AI use, is dishonest; it is the theft of another person’s intellectual property. Since plagiarism will result in automatic failure of an assignment, students should make regular use of the Writing Center during the semester to practice techniques for successfully avoiding plagiarism. Documentation and incorporation strategies are explained below. Plagiarism in final drafts will not be excused. Plagiarized papers will earn a grade of zero and may not be “made up” or redone.

To avoid plagiarism, submit work that is entirely your own, giving appropriate credit to any sources used.

But how?

·        Any phrasing taken directly from a source (written or spoken) must appear in quotation marks.

·        Even a single word that characterizes a source writer’s perspective on an issue must be acknowledged as belonging to that writer. Careful placement of quotation marks is a critical first step for accurate documentation.

·        Always introduce quotations so that the reader has context for the source material.

·        After the quoted passage, always cite the page number from a print source, consulting a handbook or your instructor’s guidelines for any special requirements, such as those for formatting a variety of electronic citations. Perdue Owl is a great resource.

·        If you mention a source in text—whether it is from a book, a website, a YouTube video, a journal article, an interview, a lecture, or any other source—a full MLA citation must appear on a Works Cited page at the end of your paper. 

·        If you use statistics or numbers, you must cite that information, even if you paraphrase passages that include statistics. Remember to cite the source on your Works Cited page. Note: in-text citation wording must always refer to the beginning of the corresponding Works Cited entry.

·        Buying papers from online paper mills or other sources, hiring another person to write a paper for you, or allowing another person to write your paper are all forms of dishonesty and are plagiarism. AI use falls in this category.

·        AI is not acceptable. You must write your own paper, and the use of AI to compose a paper will result in a grade of zero. This is an academic integrity problem and defeats the purpose of this course.  

·        Submitting work in this class that has been previously submitted in another class is not acceptable and will result in a failing grade.

Note: Avoiding plagiarism is an important component of success in this course, but a paper free of plagiarism will not guarantee a passing grade.  You must observe the fundamentals of direction, organization, unity, support, coherence, and standard usage. Your argument must be clear and well-supported. You must also successfully represent, balance, synthesize, and reflect on source material to develop your paper so that relationships among sources and relevance of source ideas to your own original thesis are in evidence throughout. The use of AI to write your paper instead of using your own critical thought and communication skills is inexcusable. I want to hear your voice, and yes, it is noticeable when you do not.

Instructor Requirements and Expectations

Assessment Descriptions

         Class Activities

·       All English 111 students are required to use one of the ABTech writing resources (RISE or the Writing Center). Students will earn a 100 in the Class Activities portion of the gradebook (titled Writing Resource Assignment) for using one of these writing resources.  Students earning a 69 or below on any major writing assignment (diagnostic essay, Essay 1, Essay 2, Rough Draft of Argumentative Essay/Final Exam) will be required to attend a RISE session.

·   Class activities include, but are not limited to, the following: diagnostic essay, discussion forums, rough drafts, grammar exercises, one-page concept papers, and brainstorms.

Essays- You will be completing two formal essays (and one essay as the final exam) for this course. The final drafts of all essays will be submitted via Moodle to the instructor as a Word document or Google Doc. Do Not submit a PDF or Pages document.

Essay 1- Narrative / Literary Analysis paper

Essay 2- Annotated Bibliography (the research and analysis of the research for final exam-argument-based essay)

Final Exam Final Exam (Research-based Argumentative Essay)

The final exam for this course is a common assignment. A rough draft and a final draft are required. All parts of the final are required. Final exams are due December 4th, 11:55 P.M. and may not be turned in late. There will be a short Reflection Paper to complete the course.

Your instructor reserves the right to ask another English faculty member to evaluate your final exam. 

Make-up Policies (late work and extra credit)

·       All work must be submitted on time. I will not grade late work. The only exception allowed is in extreme hardship (funeral, family catastrophe, hospitalization) for either the 1st or 2nd paper. In the case of a documented emergency. Please email both your teacher and Ms. Austin with a verifiable reason. Extensions will be handled case by case and based on student equity. Because of the short turnaround with the final paper and final grades, extension requests will not be granted except in EXTREME emergencies and may earn a course grade of “Incomplete”. Late papers cannot be graded after the allotted “slide” window. If a final draft is not submitted, an earlier draft will be graded in its place. The amount of class time devoted to the final paper would make an extension absurd except is dire situations.

Assignments for Class Activities are not accepted late as they are used in class immediately after due. Missing work will receive a grade of zero and may not be made up. Most homework assignments are used to hone skills and prepare for papers or class discussions. No work can be accepted after the start of a class session that is using that homework assignment for class activities. In case of illness, I can excuse the assignment.

There is no extra credit offered in this class. As long as you keep up with your assigned work, and with the support time built into the course, there is no need to supplement your course work. Most of your Class Activities are a formative assessment tools to monitor your progress and learning needs. That 40% positively impacts your course average if you simply try. No extra credit is needed if you are doing what you need to for this course. 

Cell Phones:

Due to the new state law, cell phones will be collected at the start of the class block and remain stored unless used for a class activity. However, many students like to use music while working on assignments. On lab days, phones may be used IF students are using headphones and stick to using a playlist only. Once the playlist is set, I do not expect students to be using their phones. The focus MUST be on ENG 111 work. If this becomes a problem, a distraction, work isn’t completed on time or with quality, this usage privilege may be revoked.

Belonging

You belong here, as do your classmates. You belong here if you have had great teachers and positive experiences of schooling. You belong here if schools and society have marginalized you and your community. You belong here if you are Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Secular Humanist, Pagan, follow some other belief system, or adhere to no organized belief system at all. You belong here if you are still figuring out what and who you are. You belong here if you are documented, DACA, or undocumented. You belong here if you are a person of color, or white, or perceived to be white, or if you are of mixed racial/ethnic heritage, or if you are perceived to be other identities that you aren’t. You belong here if you have an exceptionality or disability, if you have intellectual, cognitive, or emotional disabilities or if you are neurotypical. You belong here if you identify as gender nonconforming or LGBTQIA+, or if you’re still learning what some of those letters mean. You belong here no matter what language you grew up speaking. You belong here regardless of your political affiliation, or if you don’t have one. You belong here if your parent or guardian has a higher education or if you were the first one in your family to graduate from high school. Whatever your body type, appearance, talents, abilities, identities, histories, or backgrounds, you belong here if you are here to learn and to be humane, inclusive, respectful, rigorous, and just toward the others who are also here to learn (adapted from Dr. Brenda Allen, Professor Emerita of Communication and retired Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion and Professor of Communication at the University of Colorado Denver.).]
