Welcome to English 98

This webpage will be where I post in class activities and important information. If you miss class, check here in addition to contacting me.


Syllabus Treasure Hunt

Instead of me boringly reading you the syllabus, you will read the syllabus yourself to find the important information needed for you to succeed in this class. Remember, a syllabus is a contract between you and me, and thus you should know what you are agreeing to abide by in this course.

I will allow you some time today to read through the syllabus and try to find as many answers as possible to the following questions. The student or students with the most correct answers at the end of the time allotted will receive a symbolic chest full of extra credit. Happy hunting!

1. How much is an assignment worth if it is late?

2. What project carries the largest grade?

3-5. Name three things that will cause you to lose your participation points:

6. What textbook do you need for this class?

7-8. What is the instructor’s name and email address?

9-12. What four units is the class divided into?

13. What smaller writing assignment exists within an LE unit?

14. Define the following abbreviation:
LE: _____________________

15-16. Name two places outside of this classroom where you can get additional help for course material.

17. How will I grade your writing in this class prior to the Portfolio?

18. How many essays will you revise for the portfolio?

19. How is plagiarism dealt with in this class?

20. What homework is due next class?
