1. EngL1501W Section 06: Literature of Public Life
Spring 2010
WF 10:10 am–12:05 pm

Instructor: Sheena K. Fallon
Office Hours: WF 12:10-1:10pm

Email: fall0081@umn.edu
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Is Writing Activism?
In order to explore the intersection between literature and public life, we will examine the writer’s impulse
in the context of the activist’s impulse – that is, whether writing a book is a type of activism. As part of this
interrogation, we will write creatively and critically, connecting these texts to the larger discussion of the texts’
themes in American culture and public life.
This course offers a Service Learning track. This option involves volunteering at a community
organization for a minimum of 25 hours. Service Learning is a practice and a belief that our work in the classroom
can and should be applied to actual community issues, that your community volunteering can and should promote
engagement with scholarship and learning, and that our fundamental responsibility as college-educated citizens is to
prepare ourselves for lives of active citizenship. Service Learning is a way to directly connect your liberal arts
education to the “real world.” More information on service-learning opportunities will be available during the
second class meeting.
This is a writing intensive course. Assignments #1 and #3 will have a peer-review component.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1) To learn how to discuss and analyze contemporary nonfiction literature and its role in public life through
the writing process.
2) To think critically about public life and write clear, compelling arguments that reflect this critical thinking.
3) To interrogate our own positions as citizens and participants in American culture and society.
4) To prepare ourselves for our own active participation in American culture and society.

MOODLE
There is a moodle site for this course available at moodle.umn.edu. All assignments, PowerPoints, and handouts
(including this syllabus) will be available on the moodle site. I will not print out assignments or handouts unless
they are requested in class or via email. Please let me know immediately if you have trouble accessing this site.
3. ATTENDANCE POLICY
You are allowed TWO unexcused absences without penalty. Official excused absences include illness verified
by a doctor's note and family emergency or death. Excused absences do not include vacations, transportation
problems, or employment. In case of an excused absence, you must notify me of your excuse as soon as possible. It
is your responsibility to provide a doctor’s note or other proof when you return to class – I will not ask you for it.
Do not come to class if you are sick, even if you are not planning to go to the doctor.
If you miss 3 or more class meetings with unexcused absences, your final grade will be lowered 5% (50 pts) for each
unexcused absence above 2. If a student misses 6 classes (the equivalent of three weeks), he or she may fail the
course. Arriving 15 or more minutes late to class 3 times will be marked as an absence.
If you are absent for any reason, you are responsible for all material covered in class. Ask a fellow student what you
missed, or come visit me in office hours. I will not reply to “what happened in class?” emails.
LATE POLICY
All assignments must be submitted during class on the stated date. Assignments will only be accepted in person as
hard copies during class time or office hours unless other arrangements are made beforehand. I will not accept
assignments via email. Without an approved excuse—such as serious illness or family emergency—late
assignments will be penalized 5% for each day late and will receive no comments or feedback. The weekend counts
as one day. Difficulties should be brought to my attention before the paper’s due date via email.
EMAIL
I will do my best to return emails within 48 hours. Please address your email (no “hey” or missing salutations) and
sign it with your first and last name. This is not a text message, so please use standard written English with proper
capitalization. Do not email me the night before an assignment is due expecting an answer.
OFFICE HOURS
Office hours are immediately after class. If you cannot attend during this time, please email me to make an
appointment. I am happy to read drafts of work if it is emailed to me 12 hours beforehand.
PLAGIARISM
According to the University, plagiarism occurs when written work 1) fails to cite quotations and borrowed ideas
from outside sources, including the World Wide Web and other student work, 2) fails to enclose borrowed language
in quotation marks, and 3) fails to put summaries and paraphrases in the writer's own words. Please do not try to
pass off someone else’s work as your own – instead, speak to me about difficulties completing an assignment. All
instances of plagiarism will be treated with severity and result in zero credit for the assignment.
DISIBILITY SERVICES
The University of Minnesota is committed to providing all students equal access to learning opportunities. Disability
Services is the campus office that works with students who have disabilities to provide and/or arrange reasonable
accommodations. Students registered with Disability Services, who have a letter requesting accommodations, are
encouraged to contact the instructor early in the semester. Students who have, or think they may have, a disability
(e.g. psychiatric, attentional, learning, vision, hearing, physical, or systemic), are invited to contact Disability
Services for a confidential discussion at 612-626-1333 (V/TTY) or ds@umn.edu. Additional information is
available at the DS website http://ds.umn.edu.
