COLLEGE POLICY.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT

participate in class, I will deduct points from your class work grade (see last item in list above).

3. 3
Procedures
1. Students are expected to engage in all levels of the writing process: prewriting, drafting,
revising, editing, and proofreading. Students will receive ample time to work on their
writing and will receive feedback from both the instructor and their peers.
2. Essays 1 & 2 may be revised once after the initial grade has been recorded. In most
cases, editing and proofreading alone will not count as a revision. Revision is more
substantial, sometimes requiring the addition of text, deletion of text, and reorganization
of text. If a student chooses to revise an essay, the revision must be submitted within
one week of the day it is returned to him or her. The original grade will be averaged in
with the second grade; however, there is no guarantee that the revision will receive a
higher grade.
3. Students receive a grade and feedback on each assignment before the next assignment is
due so that students can learn from the comments. Students are reminded that they can
come visit me in my office hours to discuss their writing at any time during the semester.
Portfolios
Students will be required to submit portfolios of their work in order to receive passing
grades in the course. Keep all of your work. Do not throw anything you write away.
You will need to assess all of your work for possible inclusion in the portfolio. To be
eligible to submit portfolios, students must demonstrate competency in grammar and usage
through an editing exercise and must be passing the course with a D or better.
Composition I: Portfolio Checklist
Assessment sheet (student, instructor, and reader’s name; oral component met).
Table of contents.
A self-assessment of your writing regarding this semester; this may be formatted as a
letter to the reader of the portfolio (also called: cover or reflective letter).
Diagnostic essay (not graded; clean copy).
Two essays written and revised outside of class with all drafts; attach an unmarked clean
copy on top of the drafts. This must include one argument or analysis essay with
MLA documentation and Works Cited page.
Midterm exam or second-timed writing (not graded; clean copy).
Common final exam (not graded; clean copy).
Portfolios will be graded as passing if they are deemed a level 4 on the placement and
proficiency scale. Portfolios that do not contain the required work will not be graded.
Students who do not fulfill the portfolio requirement will receive a grade of R (Repeat) for
the course, which does not affect the student’s Grade Point Average or financial aid. The
4. 4
student must repeat the course and successfully complete all assignments before a grade will
be determined.
Statement on Academic Integrity
“Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty in their academic work.
Cheating, forgery, and plagiarism are serious offences, and students found guilty of any form of
academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary action” (Faculty Handbook 33).
Plagiarism is the unacknowledged (intentionally or unintentionally) use of summary, paraphrase,
direct quotation, language, statistics, or ideas from other sources, including Internet sources.
You must cite according to the Modern Language Association (MLA) format found in Writing:
A Manual for the Digital Age, Brief Second Edition. If you plagiarize all or part of a writing
assignment, you will be reported to the Department of English Chair and/or the Academic Dean.
Statement on Americans with Disabilities Act
“Students with disabilities are entitled to the right to accommodation under Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Ace and ADA of 1990. ADA students are responsible for self-identifying to the
Disability Resource Center, who will inform me of your needs of accommodation related to the
structure of the course” (Faculty Handbook 30).
