Take
a few days to read over the online content. Your main goal
is to familiarize yourself with my class, course policies,
and website. Please generate some questions for me if you
have them: ask them in class, or, if you are shy, email me,
davink@hawaii.edu or
talk to me during office hours. I want to really make sure
that you feel welcome in my class, and want to discuss the
class with you if you feel confused, apprehensive, or forsee
any difficulties with English 272G.
1. Read "Syllabus"

question, or greeting on my myth blog, http://mrkmyth.blogspot.com/
Use your 5 letter/number codename. I want you to become comfortable

just want to make things easier on me/have nothing to hide,
just use your real name.

Skim through my Grammar
Helper and Grammar
Sampler. Identify the types of errors you typically make
on a sheet of paper. For every major essay, identify the 3-4
errors that YOU ALWAYS seem to be making. Try to find out the
rule for the mistake, then correct the sentence. Try to revise
and write the correct sentence using my feedback as a guide.
This is the only tried and true method for self-improvement—learning
from your mistakes. You can earn extra-credit for this procedure. |

Please do not bombard me with late work /
revisions (in other words, don't revise all 4 of your major
essays then give all of them to me to grade on this day. You
should be revising your essays and turning them a week after
you receive back my grades and comments.
(the end of the semester can be quite stressful,
so I want to allow more flexibility for you to conference
with me on ALL LATE WORK/REVISIONS, and your Literary Analysis) |

Please
use the Schedule of Classes to keep track of important deadlines
and obligations, and look at the list of big dates at the bottom
of the page as well.
(Please pay careful attention to add/drop/withdrawal
dates and holidays). Please remember that it is entirely
your responsibility to handle your registration status in
this course. If you wish to add this class, you must get the appropriate
Registration form so as to add into this section. If you must withdraw
due to unforseen circumstances, you must get the applicable form
at the Kekaulike
Information Center (Ilima 101/2) to firmly declare your withdrawal
status. Since I cannot withdraw ANY students from my class, please
note that after the LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM FULL SEMESTER CLASSES,
if you are no longer attending this class after
this date, your grade will more than likely resolve as an "F."
Text References:
General Deadlines:
This is K.C.C.'s discussion about plagiarism:
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to submitting any document,
to satisfy an academic
requirement, that has been copied in whole or part
from another individual’s work without
identifying that individual; neglecting to identify as a
quotation a documented idea that has not
been assimilated into the student’s language and style, or
paraphrasing a passage so closely that
the reader is mislead as to the source; submitting the same written
or oral material in more than
one course without obtaining authorization from the instructors
involved; or in the dry-lab
setting, which includes (a) obtaining and using experimental data
from other students without the
express consent of the instructor, (b) utilizing experimental data
and laboratory write-ups from
other sections of the course or from previous terms during which
the course was conducted, and
(c) fabricating data to fit the expected results, (d) dictation
papers to or copying from others.
Course policy is as follows: for the first infraction, you get
an "F" and no revision for the paper; the second incidence
results in an "F" grade for the course.
NOTE: FROM NOW UNTIL
THE END OF THE SEMESTER, every essay that employs some form of documentation
(uses quotes) must be submitted with the following items:
A. PRINTED COPY OF RESOURCE with QUOTE (highlighted);
B. A
WORKS CITED ENTRY: you do not need to make another page for
this, but make sure that formatting is CORRECT. For confirmation
of correct WORKS CITED FORM, see Bullock, 233-270.
1. REMEMBER, your WORKS CITED NEEDS TO BE ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED,
by AUTHOR.
2. BE CAREFUL ABOUT FORMATTING. Remember
to indent the other lines after the first one.
3. MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING HOW
TO CITE INTERNET SOURCES, especially, EBSCO HOST ones. Here is a
sample:
(NAME, "TITLE," SOURCE, PUBLISHING DATE, ACCESS DATE, WEB HOST,
WEB ADDRESS)

to Be A Musician?"
