Academic Honesty Statement

*
The Department of English expects all students to adhere to the university’s Code of Student Conduct, especially as it pertains to plagiarism, cheating, multiple submissions, and academic honesty. Please refer to the Policy on Academic Honesty (Section 409 of the Faculty Handbook). Penalty for violation of this policy will result in a zero for the assignment, possible failure of the course, and, in some cases, suspension or expulsion. Georgia State University defines plagiarism as . . . “ . . . any paraphrasing or summarizing of the works of another person without acknowledgment, including the submitting of another student’s work as one’s own . . . [It] frequently involves a failure to acknowledge in the text . . . the quotation of paragraphs, sentences, or even phrases written by someone else.” At GSU, “the student is responsible for understanding the legitimate use of sources . . . and the consequences of violating this responsibility.” (For the university’s policies, see in the student catalog, “Academic Honesty,”http://www2.gsu.edu/~catalogs/2010-2011/undergraduate/1300/1380_academic_honesty.htm)

Where on the course website can you find an overview of what’s due and the readings for each unit?

You can find an overview of what’s due and the readings for each unit on the course website by hovering over the Calendar tab in the righthand corner and clicking on Weekly Overview.

What is the best way to see an overview of what’s due each week?

The best way to see an overview of what’s due each week is to subscribe to the Google calendar and have it available for you to see (detailed) in your personal calendar each week.

What is the attendance policy?

The attendance policy is that students earn points for coming to class and lose points for unexcused absences. Students in the M/W F2F section earn 20 points for coming to class, and lose 20 points for each absence. Students in the hybrid sections earn 40 points for coming to class, and lose 40 points for each absence. Arriving to class late will result in a deduction of 10-20 points (20-40 points for hybrid sections).

What are my office hours, and how do you make an appointment to see me outside of class?

Your office hours are Mondays/Wednesdays 9-11 am, and also by appointment, Skype, or Google Hangout. I make an appointment to see you outside of class by emailing you at rwharton3{at}gsu{dot}edu.

How do you earn participation credit? Provide a link to the instructions/guidelines for particiption.

I earn participation credit by study group organization and participation, individual office hour visit, group meetings with instructor, blog posts reflecting practice of course concepts, constructive commentary on blogs, extra submissions to image, sound, site description repositories, extra reading summaries, adding an “about me” page to your website, creating Facebook groups around topics, projects or readings, contributing to the glossary of terms, contributing markers to collaborative Google map, completing tutorials from Writer’s Help, and completing a Lynda.com tutorial on a relevant technology. I can also suggest something related to the course that may allow me to earn participation credit.

How many points can you earn by participating in or organizing a study group session?

The amount of points that can be earned by participating in or organizing a study group session is up to 25 points.

How can you be assured of earning an “A” in this course?

I can be assured of earning an “A” in this course if I complete all four of the major projects and earn at least 2,500 points.

What are the minimum requirements for earning a passing grade of “C”?

The minimum requirements for earning a passing grade of “C” are to complete all four of the major projects, earning at least the minimum number of points for each and miss no more than four class meetings (two for hybrid sections). This will earn me at least 1,475 points.

What do you do if you’re not sure how to document your participation in order to earn points?

If I’m not sure how to document my participation in order to earn points, I can stop by during office hours or ask how before or after class.
