I would do this by listening attentively having put my own emotions and biases aside with the main goal of empathizing with their grievances.

GRADING POLICY

Assignment Pts Total Pts
Writing Projects 9 @ 20 pts 180 pts
Discussion Brds 2 @ 20pts 40 pts
Quizzes 10 @ 5pts 50 pts
Final Exam 1 @ 30 pts 30 pts
300 pts

WRITTEN PROJECTS (9 @ 20 pts = 180 pts)

These projects give the student the opportunity to apply course content to practical situations that will occur in their professional career.  These projects are also an opportunity to demonstrate and improve your upper-division writing skills.  The content quality of the project will count for 10 points and your writing skills will count for 10 points for each Written Project.  The writing aspect is half the grade, therefore please utilize resources we have available through the writing lab tutors to help maximize your grade.

You are to have at least two separate reference sources for each written project that are in addition to any reference to the course text or the instructor’s PowerPoints unless specifically stated otherwise in the assignment description.

For two of your Written Projects (WP#1 and WP #3) you will edit and re-submit the paper for an improved grade after it has been initially graded and feedback has been given.  This is a key part of the concept of the Upper-Division Writing Course.  You are expected to learn from the feedback and improve your writing in the next assignments.

  • The resubmission must occur within one week of the feedback you are given.
  • Please note that the grade for your first submission will count
  • Revision submission will also count for your revised paper grade.

If you miss the due date for a Written Project, you may submit it up to three days after the deadline with a late penalty via Canvas, but there will be a deduction of one letter grade as a late penalty. Therefore, you should plan to complete your written project a day or two in advance of the due date, just in case you are ill or have some other difficulty when the due date occurs.

 

Writing Competency

The instructor will evaluate the efforts of each student not only for the content presented but also for spelling, grammar, punctuation, neatness, and organization of thought.  Significant reductions in grade will occur for poor writing (see rubric).

Format Expectations for Written Assignments

These guidelines are to assist a student in preparing papers and assignments for submission in this course.  Papers and assignments that do not meet these expectations will be subject to a reduction in the grade.

These will apply to all assignments unless otherwise notified.

  • Spacing:  single or double spacing
  • Margins: Standard 1 inch margins
  • Title: Include your name, class title & title of the assignment, instructor’s name, and date at the top of the page.  These are single spaces on the title page.

DISCUSSION BOARDS (2 @ 20 Pts = 40 pts)

The Discussion Board is an opportunity for you to interact with your classmates.  It is an important part of our course and ideally, it will allow you to learn from each other and challenge one another to expand our borders. Discussion Boards are two parts, both requiring a minimum of four paragraphs each section.

 

Part A – Submission – Student will upload their input, answering questions, and completing the first part of the assignment.  Utilize at least two resources outside of the text or lectures to solidify your points, cite your work within your project and then list it at the end.  Submissions formats and requirements will vary, but all will have a minimum of four (4) paragraphs unless otherwise specified. Generally, most discussion boards will be no more than two pages.

*Submissions are due by Thursday @ 11:59 pm to give students time for Responses, which are due by Sundays at 11:59 pm, except for DB1.

* The requirement of at least two (2) references/resources outside of the text to support your information in your submission, unless otherwise stated.    Those who do not choose to use and list your references will automatically score a less. 

Part B – Response – Students are required to respond to two other student’s submissions, which is half the points of Discussion Boards. Be positive and give additional information on the subject matter, and/or recommend resources to check out.  Responses require two paragraphs per studentResponse to another student is due by 12-noon Sunday (EST)

Final Exam (30 points)

A comprehensive online open book Final Exam that will cover all material from the course and text.  This is a timed exam within Canvas, not a proctored exam.  Due to the timeframe you have to complete this exam, you will need to be familiar with the material, otherwise, you will run out of time.  This exam is to be done on individual bases.

COURSE POLICIES

COMMUNICATIONS/NETIQUETTE

For Discussions:

  • Please use polite, respectful behavior when posting your responses to prompts in the Discussion Boards.
  • Be mindful of how you express your emotions and humor, and be sensitive to cultural and ability differences of your online peers.
  • Keep postings to the point, and make sure your comments are relevant to the topic of discussion.
  • Avoid messages such as, “Wow,” “Way to go,” or “Ditto” and aim for comments that validate other members’ ideas through careful explanation of why.
  • When replying, give a short description in the subject line of what you are replying to, and use correct punctuation and spelling throughout your post.

For Email Communication:

  • For email, please respond to your instructor’s and peers’ messages within a 24-hour period.
  • Use a brief description in the subject line that outlines the topic of discussion.
  • Avoid using slang or profane words.
  • Use your instructor’s correct title he or she prefers for communication.
  • Avoid using emoticons, such as smiley faces, and maintain a professional demeanor.
  • Sign your email messages using your full name.
  • AVOID USING ALL CAPS. This makes the message visually difficult to read and is perceived by the reader as “shouting.”
  • Use correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation, just as you would for any communication.
  • Ask yourself whether you would be comfortable if someone other than the intended receiver were to read your message. Remember, email is not a completely secure form of communication.
  • Refrain from “flaming,” which is expressing a strongly held opinion without tact or regard for others. Don’t assume that recipients will know the intent of the message (e.g., “just kidding”). It reads differently when it’s in print (electronic or not).
  • Report any inappropriate communication considered to be of a serious nature to your instructor, as it may be a violation of University policy.
  • Treat others with respect by making messages clear and succinct.

POLICY FOR HOMEWORK & LATE ASSIGNMENTS

There will be weekly assignments to complete.  All course work for each week will be under your Modular tab.  All assignments will remain open 3 days after an assignment deadline.  Any work submitted during that time will receive one letter grade lower than you would originally score.  If an excused absence than no penalty will be deducted.

FSU PANAMA CITY PROACTIVE APPROACH FOR STUDENT SUCCESS AND CAMPUS SAFETY

We at FSU Panama City are committed to student success, safety, and well-being. Our campus believes in proactively providing resources for students to be successful and engaged at FSU Panama City, while also keeping student and campus safety a top priority. Part of our proactive approach for student success includes providing access to tutoring, advising, and other resources as early as possible when any issues arise. Additionally, our campus has safety procedures for all classrooms (and for the campus as a whole), and all students, faculty, and staff should make themselves aware of their surroundings and safeguards.

If you see something, say something. This is an important guideline for both academics and safety. Reporting incidents or observations is important to proactively assist students and others on campus. This may include: faculty contacting advisors or tutors after seeing a marked change in a student’s academic performance or class attendance, or a student reporting to FSU PC Police something alarming that another student said on social media, or staff reporting disturbances they saw in someone’s behavior (which can be done anonymously online via the Behavior of Concern Form). The main goal of proactive assistance is to provide the best FSU PC experience as possible for everyone and encourage all to be successful.

The PC Proactive Approach involves several departments and initiatives on campus (available for both undergraduate and graduate students). Please review these resources below:
