Book: The TAs will be sending you an e-book of templates. We will be working with them from week four on, and they are an excellent resource for you in the future. I am sure you will find it helpful. I also recommend that you have a good English-English dictionary as well as a good grammar. I find www.merriam-webster.com helpful. Policies: - As this is an on-line class, completing the assigned work on time is mandatory for success. This is excellent preparation for "the real world". Therefore, if you fall behind for any reason, contact me immediately. We can work things out, but not after the fact.
- Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of another person without acknowledging your source. Please respect your sources, your audience and yourself and don't fall into this trap (I am a stickler for this). If I catch a student cheating or committing plagiarism, you will fail the course and may be subject to dismissal or further discipline. This includes copying other's homework.
Tips for success: - In the past, I've noticed that students have tried to do the homework without looking at the materials I've posted (PPT, video, readings) in order to "save time". Not a good idea and truly false economy. These materials are part of your "class time" so taking the class without watching them is like not taking the class at all.
- Give yourself plenty of time each week for the materials. The course is a two-credit course, so it's expected you spend two hours of "class time" and at least two hours (up to four hours) of "homework" time for every credit hour in class per week. Since this is summer, weeks are doubled. If you need more than twelve hours a week for the class per week, please let me know. I need to track these things.
- Relax and enjoy the experience. Improving writing is hard, especially in a foreign language. But you will learn more relaxed than nervous and stressed! I don't bite!
- Participate! The more you join in on the discussions, the more you'll feel like a part of the class. And this means filling out the "ice breaker" the first week!
If you have any, ANY, ANY QUESTIONS please feel free to ask-e-mail me, chat with me, ask Stephanie or Paul. Don't be afraid! |
