INTERESTED STUDENTS!
1)
The class will be mostly learning
“who what when where” as listed below in the WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD LEARN.
There’s a lot of terms but 1) all terms will be explained in class and in the
Study Guide; 2) If we do not cover it in class, you will not be tested over it;
3) most, if not all, terms will appear in the powerpoint
presentations that I have created.
2)
Only
required attendance is for exams (that’s the R component). I will be in class
every scheduled meeting.

II. Course
Policies: All course policies are subject to change to accord with university
policies.
1. Make‑up
work: Quizzes are in Blackboard. You can make up one missed major exam. The
make‑up tests will be given after the final exam.
2. You can
provide suggestions or questions to me throughout the semester in person,
during conferences, or by posting comments (anonymous allowed) through
Blackboard/Class Forum.
3. Be aware
of current university policies on drops and changes-of-grade. Be particularly
aware that you are responsible for having the course dropped by the appropriate
date.
4.
Post-Course Policy: The material taught in this course is covered by a kind of
informal "warranty." If you pass this course with a "C" or
better, please feel to ask me any questions---throughout your academic
career---on any material covered in this course---especially material whose
lack of understanding interferes with your doing well in other classes.
5.
University policies concerning cheating/plagiarism will be enforced. These
penalties are severe, and you should be aware of them:
CODE
OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
v The first confirmed violation of
academic dishonesty (as defined in HOP section 5.5.2) by an undergraduate
student will result in the following action:
Ø The
recommended penalty will be an F for the course and completion of an
educational program on academic integrity.
If the matter is taken to a hearing officer, the academic penalty
imposed will consider any recommendation of the faculty member involved.
Ø The
student will be informed that a second violation may result in suspension or
expulsion.
Ø A
copy of the sanction letter will be forwarded to the student’s academic chair.
v The second confirmed violation of
academic integrity by an undergraduate student (or first by a graduate student)
will result in the following action:
Ø The
recommended penalty will be an F for the course and suspension or
expulsion. If the matter is taken to a
hearing officer, the academic penalty imposed will take into consideration any
recommendation of the faculty member involved.
Ø If
expelled, the student’s transcript will contain the notation, “Expelled for
Academic Misconduct,” along with the applicable date.
Ø A
copy of the sanction letter will be sent to appropriate academic officials.
Also be
aware of “the Bronc [Vaquero?] Honor Code: As members of a community dedicated
to honesty, integrity, and mutual respect in all interactions and relationships
the students, faculty and administration of our university pledge to abide by
the principles in The Bronc Honor Code.”
6. Students with disabilities are
encouraged to contact the Disability Services office for a confidential
discussion of their individual needs for academic accommodation. It is the
policy of the University of Texas-Pan American [RGV] to provide flexible and
individualized accommodation to students with documented disabilities that may
affect their ability to fully participate in course activities or to meet
course requirements. To receive accommodation services, students must be
registered with the Disability Services office.
7. Email me. If you must call (not a
good idea), see me and I’ll give you a number.
8. If you
email me, either with questions or material, expect an answer within 48 hrs.,
except on weekends. If I don’t respond, I didn’t receive it.
9. Often the
class, at the beginning of the semester, changes to a different classroom.
Since it takes time officially to process this change, the change might not
appear on the Assist system. If you can’t find the classroom (students almost
always have), contact me (or the department).
10. Test procedures: 1. Put cell phones completely away during exams; a
visible cell phone means an automatic 50 on the exam. 2) Unless you have a
disability or medical reason (or other very good reason), remain within the
classroom during testing.
III Texts:
A.
Recommended (not required): The Norton
Anthology of English Literature: Volume 2. IMPORTANT: Be sure to get the
right anthology; there are several versions of The Norton Anthology with a similar name. But you can use earlier
editions (I do), which are much cheaper and usually can be found easily over
the internet. Also, all of the works are on the internet or in the library.
B. Course study guide: this guide
includes the notes that I use to deliver class lectures. It is available on my
internet site.
C.
Blackboard/Learn
1). You do
not have to use this free Internet/
2). Some of
its course-enhancements are extra credit quizzes, extra credit essay
assignments, an electronic forum, and an up-to-date calendar, and a listing of
your grades (optional).
IV. Course Requirements: Your grade
will be determined as follows:
A) Quizzes: 10%
B) An essay: 10%
C) 4 major tests, including
comprehensive final: 20% each
D) Blackboard Extra Credit
Assignments
E) Extra Credit Report: up to 10pts
added to a test grade.
A). Quizzes: I will give 4
quizzes that will consist of 5 short answer questions. I will drop the lowest
grade. Grading: 0 incorrect: 100; 1 incorrect: 90; 2 incorrect: 75; 3
incorrect: 55; 4 incorrect: 20; 5 incorrect: 0. All Blackboard/Extra Credit
work is due three weeks before the last class day (excluding the day of the
final exam).
B). Essay: One 700
word essay
i. The essay will be written out‑of‑class during the semester.
ii.
The essay does not have to be typed.
iii.
You must use at least three secondary/critical sources for each paper.
iv.
The essay must be grammatical. A paper that will not pass freshman English will
not be given above a D. In any case, 5 pts. will be deducted for each major
error.
v.
See Essay Assignment link for further details.
C). Major Exams
i.Exams
1-3 will consist of 40 to 80 short answer/true-false/multiple
choice/identification/matching questions, with one or two discussion questions.
The final comprehensive exam will be 100 questions.
ii. The material that you will be
tested over is listed below as COURSE GOALS (and also listed in the study
guide).
D).
Blackboard: All work due two weeks before the last class day (excluding the day
of the final exam). There is a 40 point total limit
for all extra credit:
i.
Extra Credit Quizzes: The computer gives you the answer when it grades the
quiz, so take the quiz, get the answer, take the quiz again, and make a 100.
This will replace an in-class quiz grade. If you missed the in-class quiz, I’ll
take the average of the two attempts (rather than the second attempt).
ii. Advanced
Study Questions are difficult, often covering material that is not covered in
class or that occurs in assigned readings (but comes from non-assigned readings
in the textbook). The computer will not give you the answer for most of these
questions. One-half point for each question. Print them (the questions-answers)
or give me a hand-written copy of the answers.
ii. Advanced
essay assignments: These assignments are more difficult than the regular essay
assignments. You can earn anywhere from 1 to 5 points, depending on the quality
of the essay. The requirements for this essay are the same as for the required
essays.

VI. Student Learning Outcomes and
Instructional Goals for Sophomore English Courses
A. State/Institutional Goals: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board
(THECB) Exemplary Objectives for Humanities and Performing Arts:
1. To demonstrate awareness of the scope and
variety of works in the arts and humanities.
2. To understand those works as expressions of individual
and human values within an historical and social context.
3.
To respond critically to works in the
arts and humanities.
4. To engage in the creative process or
interpretive performance and comprehend the physical and intellectual demands
required of the author or visual or performing artist.
5. To articulate an informed personal reaction to
works in the arts and humanities.
6.
To develop an appreciation for the
aesthetic principles that guide or govern the humanities and arts.
7.
To demonstrate knowledge of the influence
of literature, philosophy, and/or the arts on intercultural experiences.
B.
Departmental Goals: Student Learning
Outcomes for English (SLO’s)
SLO
1—Students will be able to interpret and analyze a text using different
approaches from literary, rhetorical and/or linguistic theories.
SLO
2—Students in certification tracks will demonstrate knowledge and skills in the
areas of writing, literature, reading, oral communication, media literacy, and
English language arts pedagogy.
SLO 3—Recent graduates who majored
in English will demonstrate satisfaction with the programs in the English
Department.
SLO 4---Students will be able to use
discipline-appropriate technology applications (such as library databases,
computer applications, Internet research, non-print media, multi-media
applications, desktop publishing, WebCT, course-based electronic communication,
etc.) in preparation and presentation of course projects.
C. English Department Goals for
Sophomore English:
In sophomore
literature courses, students will
1.
amplify reading, writing, and critical thinking skills
developed in English 1301 and 1302.
(THECB 3; SLO 1,2,3,4)
2.
understand and appreciate great writers and great works in
imaginative literature in a variety of literary genres and literary
periods. (THECB 1; SLO 1, 2, 3, 4)
3.
understand the basic principles of literary language and analysis (THECB 4, 6;
SLO 1, 2, 3, 4)
4.
understand that literary study may be directed by a variety
of analytical approaches, including but not limited to historical,
psychological, biographical, social, and feminist approaches; (THECB 2, 5, 7; SLO 1, 3, 4)
5.
understand the influence of literature on intercultural
understanding and on appreciation of the individual’s culture (THECB 7; SLO 1,

sense of a culture that serves as the basis for many American institutions.
(THECB 1, 2, 5, 7; SLO 1, 3, 4)
2. To introduce students to a wide
variety of authors and works, the knowledge of which will aid the student in
becoming "culturally literate." Cultural literacy--and the lack of
it--can impact the student politically, personally, socially, and economically.
(CB 1, 2, 5, 7; SLO 1, 3, 4)
3. To

about their own culture by seeing it in relation to the authors, works, and
history examined in this class. (THECB 1, 2, 5, 7; SLO 1, 3, 4)
6. Prepare students to analyze
in-depth works of literature. (THECB 3, 4; SLO 1, 2, 3, 4)
