The material covered in the exam includes both textbook reading material and lecture information as well as test bank and instructor designed questions. To succeed, students are expected to demonstrate a depth of understanding of the subject matter and analysis and interpretation of course topics.

Additionally, if the student has seen and answered every test question then no makeup will be given under any circumstances. Each exam is worth 200 points for a total of 400 points of the course total.

Day of the Dead Figure Project: This project centers on the Mexican Day of the Dead. There will be an essay and presentation for this project both aligned with this theme. See below for specific instructions:

Paper: Students will write a documented essay discussing how the Day of the Dead is a part of Mexican cultural heritage and discussing the similarities and differences between Day of the Dead and one other nation’s practices for honoring the dead. This paper should consider traditional Mexican Day of the Dead events (e.g., altars, festivities, personal tokens, etc.). This portion of the project is worth 100 pts.

Presentation: Students will be randomly grouped by the professor and will be able to choose an activist figure from the provided Blackboard list to construct a Day of the Dead altar and present it to the class. The essay will work for research into the Day of the Dead event and surrounding cultural customs but each student will be responsible for a section of the new research covering this assigned figure. Instruction sheets with role and grade breakdown will be provided. This portion of the project is worth 100 pts.

Paper 2: Film Analysis Essay: This is a linked assignment and you will turn in the same copy that you submit to Professor Gibson in ENC 1101. To complete this paper the student will first chose a film and second construct an academic analysis of the film’s significance. The student will compose a reflection essay that includes specifics of the movie, the student’s response/critique (academic NOT personal), and a discussion of how the film demonstrates the cultural themes explored in the first week of classes. This assignment will be worth 300 points total for both courses. For ENC 1101, the assignment will be worth 200 points and will cover composition concerns listed in the ENC 1101 prompt and assignment description. For HUM 1020, the assignment will be worth 100 pts and this class will be grading for Humanities content concerns listed in the prompt and this essay description.

Case-Based Modules (Medieval & Modern): To complete this assignment, the student will utilize a mixture of online handouts (introductory question sheet and case study information) and in class activities (pre and post module surveys, class discussion, and timed writing response). These modules are located under the “Case-based Modules” content folder in Blackboard. Each online module will contain a question sheet (to be completed before the listed class period), a primary source image, and an accompanying article on the primary visual. All module content will be turned in physically, in class on the listed due date. These assignments will add up to a total of 30 points per module for a total of 60 points possible for all modules. Specific grade breakdown per section of the module is located on Blackboard.

Class Journal: To complete this assignment, the student will respond to a collection of timed prompts throughout the semester. Throughout the journal topic days noted in the attached course schedule, students will receive class time to answer different reflection questions, totaling 6 questions in all. This journal will be worked on weekly as assigned in class and turned in once, collectively on the assigned deadline (also available in the course schedule below). Failure to physically turn the journal in on or before the due date will result in an automatic zero on the assignment unless the student has documentation of a severe medical or family emergency occurring on the assigned due date. This journal is worth 50 points of the course total.

ENC 1101 and HUM 1020: Makeup Policy - Think Value Act and CommunicateAbsence from class is not an excuse for incompletion of the homework assignments or essays. If you are absent, you are responsible for turning in your work ahead of time and getting the missed information from a fellow student. Do not email me asking “Did I miss anything important?”, the answer will be “Always”, or “Can you tell me what I missed?”, the answer will be “look at the syllabus”. The week-to-week syllabus is a reliable initial source but classes are a living and breathing organism and changes may be made.

Final Papers: All final Papers will be submitted to Safe Assign by their due dates and in Class. Both parts are crucial for being graded and your essay is not submitted until I have both. Any papers not turned in by the due dates will receive a zero, no excuse.

1 Final Paper Late Pass: You are allowed 1 Late Paper Pass, which will give you an extra week to turn in your paper at a -10%. This means that whether the paper is 1 day late or 1 week late, will receive 10% marked off of their final grade. If you received a 96% on the paper and it was turned in a day late you’ll receive an 86 % on your paper. Any papers more than 1 week late will receive a zero. Note that a Zero on a paper may result in not passing the class. Also note that prompt turn-ins = prompt feedback from me. It is in your best benefit to turn papers in during class the day they are due in order to receive full credit.

ENC 1101 Paper Drafts: All drafts will be submitted in blackboard through discussion board posts by their due date (The next class). Any late discussion board posts will result in -10% for every day late.Note: Paper drafts are not required for HUM 1020.

ENC 1101 Entrance Tickets/Edpuzzles: Cannot be made up. You must complete all homework by the class it is due.

ENC 1101 Conferences: Conferences will be scheduled in class ahead of time and cannot be made up. No-Shows will receive a zero.

ENC 1101 Workshops: Cannot be made up. You must be present to receive credit for workshops. There will be 6 workshops, and I will take your top 5 workshop grades, allowing you to miss one workshop.

ENC 1101 Final Presentation and Paper 5: As Paper 5 & your Final Presentation are during finals week, the final exam date is the last day to turn these items in. Late essays will not be accepted after that date.

HUM 1020 Day of the Dead Project Presentations: This is a physical assignment and you should have your art piece and presentation prepared for your assigned day. Once the presentations have been scheduled there will be no date changes or “switching” days permitted. The only way to makeup this presentation is with documentation of a severe medical or family emergency occurring on the day of the presentation. Failure to attend on the presentation date will otherwise result in an automatic zero on the assignment.

Final Paper Formatting- Think Value Act and CommunicateAll final drafts of papers will be:

● typed, ● MLA format & heading, ● 1 inch margins, ● Black ink, ● 12 pt font, ● Times New Roman, ● Double Spaced

● Submitted to Safe Assign and in Hard Copy

● No additional spacing (e.g. between paragraphs, indents from the margin, or between lines)

● Appropriate length (i.e. down to the last line of the assigned page - not including headings, works cited, or images)

*Improper formatting will result in docked points from paper.*

Attendance, Participation, and Withdrawal Policies:1. Attendance, Participation, and Class Conduct- ActAttendance: Coming to all classes is very important. Regular, on-time attendance is required of all students at Valencia College; therefore, students who are not able to attend class or arrive on time may be penalized on their final grade. Additionally, students must engage in the course to be considered present in the course. Participation matters! Any student exhibiting behavior qualified as “Unacceptable Attendance” may forfeit their attendance for the class period and may be marked absent.1. Students get 3 free absences- no excuse needed, no penalty to grade

2. An excessive absence notification will be filed for students who have missed Four (4) classes. 3. Each absence after the first three will result in 1 point being taken from their final grade. This means that if you are absent 5 times and have an 82% in the class, your final grade is now a 80%. DO NOT BE EXCESSIVELY ABSENT or your grade will suffer.4. Any student with perfect attendance at the end of the semester will receive 2 points on their final grade.

Acceptable Attendance Unacceptable Attendance● Come to class ● Participate by being active

members of the classroom. ● Come prepared (Complete

reading and writing assignments on time.)

● Come with questions ● Come with individual and

insightful thoughts on material ● Respect your classmates● Be awake and energized. ● Complete in class groupwork● Speak up!

● Use too many absences● Fall behind in assignments● Use disruptive language or behavior.

o Disruptive language (spoken and written): ▪ violent and/or belligerent and/or insulting remarks▪ sexist, racist, homophobic remarks and anti-ethnic

slurs▪ Bigotry▪ Disparaging commentary.

o Disruptive Behavior: ▪ Texting in class▪ Answering phones in class▪ Computer use (other than note taking)▪ whispering or talking when another member of the

class is speaking Absences: Students who have difficulty attending class because of conflicts with their jobs or personal lives must resolve those conflicts. You signed up for this class at this specific time and day; this should be your priority over all other commitments. There is no such thing as an excused absence. I will not accept doctors’ notes. If you have Military Duty, Jury Duty, or extreme circumstances like these, we will discuss these on a case by case basis.

Tardiness: Students who come to class late or leave early 15 minutes or more this will count as a tardy. 2 tardies equal an absence. If you know you will be late or need to leave early, please ask me and sit near the door so you can leave without disrupting the course.

No-Show Procedure: Any student who does not attend class by the drop deadline, prior to the start of the no-show reporting period for the part of term for this course will be withdrawn by the instructor as a no-show.  This will count as an attempt in the class, and students will be liable for tuition.  If your plans have changed and you will not be attending this class, please withdraw yourself through your Atlas account during the drop period for this part of term.

Withdrawal: We do not withdraw students due to grade concerns or a missed student withdrawal deadline. All students should make note of the Valencia College student withdrawal deadline and remove themselves prior to this date if they are dissatisfied with their course progress. There will be NO ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS from this course due to inactivity and if you

miss multiple class days and/or accrue multiple missing assignments you will remain in the course, receive a letter grade, and be responsible academically and financially.

Note: Per Valencia Policy 4-07 (Academic Progress, Course Attendance and Grades, and Withdrawals), a student who withdrawals from the class before the established deadline for a particular term will receive a grade of “W.” A student is not permitted to withdraw after the withdrawal deadline. Any student who withdraws from a class during a third or subsequent attempt in the same course will be assigned a grade of “F.”

Note 2: Successful course completion can factor into financial aid. Therefore, students on financial aid should consult an advisor or counselor before withdrawing from a course as there may be financial implications to the student which he or she must know about to make an informed decision before withdrawing from a course. Students with some scholarships who withdraw or are withdrawn from a class must pay the college for the cost of the class. Other scholarship sponsors may also require repayment.

2. Academic Dishonesty- Think Value Act and Communicate ● All forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited at Valencia College. Academic dishonesty

includes, but is not limited to, acts or attempted acts of plagiarism, cheating, furnishing false information, forgery, alteration or misuse of documents, misconduct during a testing situation, facilitating academic dishonesty, and misuse of identification with intent to defraud or deceive.

● All work submitted by students is expected to be the result of the students' individual thoughts, research, and self-expression. Whenever a student uses ideas, wording, or organization from another source, the source shall be appropriately acknowledged.

● I understand that citation mistakes do happen. So… cite, document, cite, and document! Use MLA formatting guidelines and you will ALWAYS be in compliance! And, all work submitted in this course must be original; not recycled from high school, other colleges or universities; or written by someone other than you. If it is a case of improper citation/quotation you will be asked to rewrite, and your grade will be penalized.

● In cases of blatant dishonesty, failure to adhere to this policy will result in a “0” on the assignment and possibly an “F” in the course.

Essay Plagiarism: One of the largest, growing forms of academic dishonesty is plagiarism. Part of this is because of the varied ways to plagiarize and the lack of knowledge on what constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s words, ideas, pictures, design, and/or intellectual property without the correct documentation and punctuation. Examples of acts of plagiarism include all of the following: copying a source’s words and including sections verbatim without the use of quotation marks, reusing work you or another student has previously submitted for another course (turning in the same essay  for two different courses is considered self-plagiarism and will result in a zero for the paper), purchasing someone else’s words and presenting them as your own original work, not including consistent in text parenthetical or footnote citations with accurate page numbers or URLs, Not including an accurate external works cited page with publishing information for printed sources, and

falsifying citations.

Therefore, all work submitted for credit in this class must be the product of the individual student’s own original thoughts supported and informed by appropriately documented and credited sources. 

You may legitimately wonder how anyone would ever detect all these varieties of plagiarism; this is one of the purposes of the SafeAssign plagiarism scan. Valencia College subscribes to SafeAssign. This Blackboard   feature allows students to upload their essays so that software can compare these essays to every available electronic resource in the world, looking for parts that match up with previously published sources. All written assignments must be submitted for plagiarism analysis at SafeAssign. Caveat: Before you upload your document, confirm that you have attached the right file. A discrepancy will raise a red flag and prevent me from grading the piece on time.

Please note that plagiarism in this course is taken very seriously! Plagiarism is morally indefensible. Any assignment showing signs of plagiarism such as: deliberate cut-and-paste of online or print sources, the recycling of essays from previous classes, essays written on behalf of the student by family members or friends, or the result of inattention and incompetence in citation will be graded zero. A second offense will result in an appointment with the dean of the Arts and Humanities Department. Also, for severe or reoccurring cases of plagiarism, further action such as overall course failure or furnishing written notification may be taken. Procedures for these penalties are outlined above in the general academic dishonesty section.

3. College Expected Student Conduct: Think Act ValueValencia Community College is dedicated not only to the advancement of knowledge and learning but is concerned with the development of responsible personal and social conduct.By enrolling at Valencia Community College, a student assumes the responsibility for becoming familiar with and abiding by the general rules of conduct. The primary responsibility for managing the classroom environment rests with the faculty. Students who engage in any prohibited or unlawful acts that result in disruption of a class may be directed by the faculty to leave the class. Violation of any classroom or Valencia’s rules may lead to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion from Valencia. Disciplinary action could include being withdrawn from class, disciplinary warning, probation, suspension, expulsion, or other appropriate and authorized actions. You will find the Student Code of Conduct in the current Valencia Student Handbook.

4. Helpful Resources: Think, Act, Communicate ● Computer Labs (available on all campuses): If you are having technical problems at home,

you have a variety of on-campus options for computer use. Check your local campus for times and places.

● Libraries (available on all campuses): To access online databases, a required resource, you will need a valid Valencia ID and PIN. You have full Internet access and email opportunities from college computers located in the libraries.

● Tutoring Services (available on all campuses): Arrange a tutor if you believe that you will benefit from one-on-one help.

● Writing Centers: Arrange a consultation with the staff, who will address your writing concerns.

● Office hours: feel free to drop by my office at the above times to discuss your concerns, your papers, your progress, or just get any help or advice I might have about being a student!

Class Technology PolicyTechnology Clause: Think and ActWe live in the 21st century and I require the use of computers outside of class. You have access to the Valencia library computers and printers, so print things ahead of time and use the Library as a backup. Since I do not accept the excuse “My Dog Ate my Homework”; I also won’t accept “My computer broke”, “My printer was out of ink”, “My hard drive crashed”. Think ahead.

Growing technology is a fact and a boost to the classroom environment. Laptops and smart phones are great new educational tools that can be extremely helpful in certain learning activities. However, technology can also become a negative force in the classroom that detracts from learning and exhibits disrespect to the professor and fellow students. Therefore, using technology such as cell phones and computers in class for non-class related activities is considered “inappropriate technology use” and will be subject to the penalties listed below:

First offense: The student will be notified in class to stop use of the technology and will have a face to face discussion with the teacher after class or during office hours.

Second offense: The student will be notified in class to stop use of the technology and they will lose all attendance points for the day

Third offense: The student will be notified in class to stop use of the technology and they will lose all attendance points for the day and will have to conference with both professors regarding their attendance.

** Any subsequent attempts will result in class removal and forfeit of all possible course attendance points.

Computer/Equipment Use Policy: ActFor use outside the classroom on campus: Use of computers in the Business, IT, and Public Service classrooms at Valencia Community College is restricted to those activities designated by the instructor to enhance the class materials. Any other use is strictly forbidden. Inappropriate use includes, but is not limited to:- Use of computer to send E-mail or access Internet sites not specifically assigned in class.- Use of computer for job, internship, homework or other activities not assigned in class.- Modifying any hardware or software system configuration or setting.- Activities not in accordance with the Valencia Student Code of Conduct

- Use of computers in the departmental open lab is limited to those activities involved with preparing homework or coursework in this department and is subject to the same restriction as listed above.

Computer use is remotely monitored; any student using computers inappropriately may be subject to dismissal from class or banishment from the lab. Subsequent offense may be sent to the campus administration for further disciplinary action.

Additional InformationSafety & SecurityWe want to reassure you that our security officers are here around the clock to ensure the safety and security of the campus community. It’s important to remain alert and aware of your surroundings, especially during the early morning or evening hours.
