Tips: Keeping Up

              

You get points for completing the assignments for this class: the more points you get, the higher your grade.  There's no way around skipping a lot of assignments.  It is wise, therefore, at the verky beginning - before you understand the point-grading system, that you try to do all the assignments in the first three weeks.  However, after that, there are shortcuts: (1) you can determine what grade you will get and then decide how maniy points (and which assignments) you can miss.  (2) You can learn to skim/read assignments faster.  (3) Learn to write fast for rough drafts: it not only saves you time but also may help your creative process.

                                            

1108 DATES & WEEKLY
ASSIGNMENTS, FALL 2009

                                                                   

This page gives you your week by week assignments in detail.  It is long but very detailed and, once you get to know it, fairly simply to read.  Come back to this page each week to find out what is due both in the current and the following week.  Assignments are always due for the week given.  They are due on Wed. of that week.  So, for example, in "Week 7" below, the assignments listed there are actually due  - and should be turned in - on Wed. of Week 7.

ENG 1108 ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed. or Th. (depending on whether class is held on M/W or T/Th)

     

Do Miscellaneous Eng 1108 Assignments and Study Notes:

  • Buy your Eng 1108 grammar handbook by Hacker and your first book of reading assignments (Night by Elie Wiesel) from the bookstore. 
                

  • Go on the Eng 1108 class bulletin board and sign up for it.  Also figure out how to do your first bulletin board class.  Do this by the end of this week.
        

  • Write Journal #1: a "Hello Richard" letter, 300+ w. (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1):  I would enjoy hearing 300+ words saying hi to me, telling me about your past experiences, good and bad, with writing, how they have affected you, how you feel about this class, what you would like to learn, who and what you are in general, how you feel about school, etc.  (As with all of your writings in this class, I never share them with other students or teachers without your permission.)  To find out how to format all "Journals," "Study Notes," and "Summaries," please see below, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."  This assignment is for credit.
               

  • Write Journal #2: a Summary of the 1108 Web Site (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1):  Write a 300+ words summary of the course Web site, with 9-10 subtitles (one for each major Web page shown in the colored boxes on the home page) and at least 30 words of summarizing of each of these 9-10 sections.  To find out how to format all "Journals," "Study Notes," and "Summaries," please see below, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."  This assignment is for credit.
            

  • Make several copies of the "1108 Course Packet" and bring at least one to class (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1):   To find out how to make these copies, click here or go back to the HOME page and look there or in the TEXTBOOKS & RESOURCES page for "Course Packet."  This assignment is for credit.
           

  • Complete and turn in your Eng 1108 "Information and Photo Sheet."  (If you missed getting one, ask me for it.)  Please return the whole sheet to me physically with your photo on it.  Wait until you have the photo--something I can keep, even if you have to copy it.  You can copy and enlarge a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else.  This assignment is for credit.
                

  • Read the Eng 1108 online textbook chapter for this week, chapter "E2,"--"How To Read in College"--and do Study Notes for it, 150+ w. (due Th. at the end of Wk. 1--unless otherwise noted, all assignments must be in on time) First, read Ch. E2 of the online textbook http://CollegeWriting.info.  Read the chapter, and then do the "Study Notes."  To do these required Study Notes, click near the top of the chapter's beginning on "Study Notes."  This will take you to a page that is exactly the same for all chapters.  This "Study Notes" page lists four types of Study Notes.  You may choose whichever type you wish to do.  When you write your Study Notes, please note in the upper-right corner of your paper which set you are doing: ("6 Responses," 6 Points," "6 Questions about Chapter," or "6 Questions about Samples")!  You must write 150+ words total for each set of Study Notes (not 150 words per question).  
              
    To find out how to format all "Journals," "Study Notes," and "Summaries," please see below, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."  This assignment is for credit.  If you have trouble finding the "Study Notes," simply click here to go to www.tc.umn.edu/~jewel001/CollegeWriting/studyquestions.htm.

Also:

  • Check out this 1108 Web site: take a few minutes to discover the main parts of it and how to move around in it.   
       

  • Fill out your email address on the sheet I pass around in class.  (You may just ask for the sheet if you missed it.)
           

  • On D2L for Eng 1108 due Wed. (for M/W classes) or Th. (for T/Th classes): Do your first online bulletin-board class.  The BB is on D2L, which means if you're signed up for the class, then you're signed up already for the BB.   We'll look at it during our very first week of classes, in the computer lab.  You can get to it either through D2L or by going to the home page of this web site and clicking on "BULLETIN BOARD."  (In this first week, simply get it done by midnight of the 2nd Thurs. night of Week 1.)
                 

  • In the Eng 1108 Classroom: Classroom time is divided into three classes each week: two classes on campus and one class completely online.  If there is a night section, it is divided into the 1st half and the second half, with a third class completely online.  If I have two sections of this course, they are interchangeable--if you want to make up a class by coming to the same one in the other section, feel free to do so: simply show up, and when I take attendance, remind me to give you your own section's attendance sheet.  If you want to change permanently, I can do that for a couple of people, but ask me first!
                       

  • In Week 1 of Eng 1108, during the first class or two, I'll take you into the computer lab, where I will show you the different parts of the course materials on the Web, how to do the "Study Notes" assignment, and the class Bulletin Boards. 
            

  • Please do not work on your assignments during time spent in our class.  Class time is not a time for working on any homework assignments of any kind, for this course or another.  All assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.   

ADDITIONAL WEEK 1 INFORMATION:

HOW TO PRESENT THE WEEKLY PAPERS

            For each one, you may type or handwrite using dark ink.  On any one paper, if you write more than one page, please turn the sheet over and continue on the second page.  (However, write each type of paper on an entirely new sheet: e.g., "Study Questions" should be on one sheet, and a "Journal" should be on another, separate sheet.)   

            Also, whenever you turn these types of papers in, please write, in the upper-right corner of the first page, the following info so I can tell the difference between the assignments, the weeks, and your class and any other section or class I might have (and also so, if your paper is lost on campus, it will come back to me).  This may not sound like it's very important, but it makes a big difference for me.  It helps me a lot.  I look at 100-300 such papers per week.  I do appreciate your help with this:

Week 3
Study Questions [or Summary or Journal #3]
Set B: 6 Points

 

Do I read every last word of every sheet of your writings about your readings?  Your writings about your readings are like biology lab practices or sports practice: they are meant for you to practice writing on your own, to think more thoroughly about what you have read, and/or to better remember what you have read by writing about it.  Do I read every last word?  There isn't time for me to, given how many weekly papers I assign to all my students.  But that's okay; they're mainly for your practice anyway.  I do at least look at each paper to see if you've met the requirements and have done the reading.  And sometimes something grabs me and I read part or all of these weekly papers.  If you ever do want me to notice something in particular and comment on it, or if you want to ask a question, why don't you write me a note at the very top of the first page and circle it or mark it darkly so I'll definitely see it.  Your note might be something like "What do you think of my answer to number 2?" or "I have a question: how do I find out how to contact you?"  Then I can answer your question or check out something in your paper more carefully.

 Week 2: Responding to & Discussing the Readings  
  (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.)

                       

ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed. or Th. (depending on whether class is held on M/W or T/Th):  

     

1. 1108 Miscellaneous Assignments:

  • Read the first 1/4th of the required reading by Wiesel, pp. v-20.  Then write "Paper I (i)," a page by page, "Summary" of it, summarizing every 1-2 pages of it with a line (see directions below) for a total of 300+ words. 

  • Do bulletin board "Week 2": see below, "4."

  • Fill out your email address on the sheet I pass around in class, if you haven't alredy done so (just ask me for it).

  • Complete and turn in your "Information and Photo" sheet.  (If you missed getting one, ask me for it.)  Please return the whole sheet to me physically with your photo on it.  Give me a photo I can keep, even if you have to copy it.  You can copy and enlarge a driver's I.D. photo if you have nothing else.

  • Show me your printed copies--or at least one copy--of your "Course Packet" if you haven't already done so (see "Week 1 Assignments").

  • Hand in your summary of the 9-10 parts of the course Web site, if you haven't already done so (see "Week 1 Assignments").

2. 1108 Study Notes on Ch. C1, "The Way of Responding to Readings," 150+ w. (if you attend class Th., it is due in class; otherwise, it is due the next time you attend class): read Ch. C1 of http://CollegeWriting.info; then do Study Notes for it.  To find the Study Notes, click on "Study Notes" near the beginning of the chapter. (If you have trouble finding the "Study Notes," simply click here to go to www.tc.umn.edu/~jewel001/CollegeWriting/studyquestions.htm.)

 

        Please remember that if you are handwriting a paper of any kind and it is longer than one page, simply turn the sheet over and do the rest on the back of that same sheet.  (However, write other papers, such as Study Notes and a Summary, on entirely separate sheets of paper.)  Also, do not write homework during class time.  Class time is not a time for working on other assignments of any kind, for this class or another.   All homework assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.   
                 

        Please note in the upper-right corner of your Study Notes which set you are doing: ("6 Responses," 6 Points," "6 Questions about Chapter," or "6 Questions about Samples")!  You must write 150+ words.  To read how to present all "Journals" and "Study Notes," please see above, "How To Present the Weekly Papers."

                  

3. 1108 Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1 paper: "Paper I (i)," a page by page "Summary" of the assigned reading (Wiesel), summarizing every 1-2 pages of it with a sentence or two for a total of 300+ words.  Use complete sentences, do only 1-2 pages at a time, and write a total of 300+ words for the entire summary.  For each 1-2 pages you summarize, either summarize it in a sentence or two, or write down the most important 1-2 ideas in those 1-2 pages: for example, 

pp. 1-2  Here the author describes xxxxxx.  He gives as reasons xx and xx.
pp. 2-4  He says that xxxxx.

p. 5       He summarizes xxxxx. 

You must be detailed and specific so anyone reading your summary will know that you read the assignment and also will be able to tell from your sentences exactly what is in each page.  You also must write in complete sentences.  The purpose of practicing this kind of summary is to prepare you for future academic classes or jobs in which you may have to accurately, carefully, and in detail describe people, events, or writings you have seen.  We'll only do a very few of these this semester, so be patient--there will be many other kinds of writing to practice later.

      

4. Choose a 2nd Eng 1108 book to read from the approved reading list in "Textbooks & Resources."  At the end of Week 5, you will have to switch away from the Wiesel book and to another book of your choice from the approved reading list in "Textbooks & Resources."  You must choose your book only from the list in "Textbooks & Resources.   And you must get this book on your own.  Here are ways to get it:

1. IHCC Bookstore: I have asked the IHCC bookstore to have a few copies (like five copies of some, two of others) of some of the books.  But these may be sold out quickly.

2. Other Bookstores: Call a regular bookstore to get the book, but you better call 2-3 wks. ahead of time in case the bookstore has to order it from a distance.  A few of the books are hard to find.

3. Buy on Web Weeks Ahead of Time: Buy the book 2-3 weeks ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com

4. Buy on Web Late for a Higher Price: Buy the book 1 week ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com and pay a bunch extra for 2-3 day shipping.

5. Borrow "Reserve" Copy 3 Hrs./Time from IHCC Library: Use the IHCC Library copy that is on "Reserve" for just three hrs. at a time--you'll have to read it in or near the library.  But don't wait until a day or two ahead of time, as someone else might have it checked out when you need it.

6. Find Copy at Any Library with Longer Borrowing Time: See if you can find a copy to check out from a library's regular holdings.  The IHCC library might have its own copy to check out for longer, and other libraries might, too.  Do this as soon as possible--weeks in advance, and then renew it as needed--because other people will be trying to get it, too.

5. 1108 Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w. in 2+ messages: Check the Bulletin Board or the "Eng 1114 Assignment Dates" above to see if we have BBs this week.  If so, do two 200+ word messages (a total of 400+ w.) by Wednesday midnight. 

    

6. In the 1108 Classroom: (Note: Each semester, this Monday or the next one usually is a holiday from school.  Check the list of weeks at the top of this page and column.)  (a) What's due next? Questions?  (b) Discussion of reading.  (c) How to do the four drafts this semester. 

  

Please let me remind you of two things about "Study Notes," "Summaries," and "Journals."  (a) First, if one of them is longer than one page, simply turn the sheet over and do the rest on the back of that same sheet (if you are handwriting it).  (b) Second, please remember to turn each one in with the proper identifying information on each one in the upper-right corner (Why?  See "Additional Week 1 Information," above), as follows:

        

Name (First & Last)
Course and

Choose a 2nd book to read from the approved reading list in "Textbooks & Resources."  At the end of Week 5, you will have to switch away from the Wiesel book and to another book of your choice from the approved reading list in "Textbooks & Resources."  You must choose your book only from the list in "Textbooks & Resources.   And you must get this book on your own.  Here are ways to get it:

3. Buy on Web Weeks Ahead of Time: Buy the book 2-3 weeks ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com

3. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1 paper: "Paper II (ii)," another page by page "Summary" of the assigned reading (Wiesel), summarizing every 1-2 pages of it with a sentence or two for a total of 300+ words.  Use complete sentences, do only 1-2 pages at a time, and write a total of 300+ words for the entire summary.  For each 1-2 pages you summarize, either summarize it in a sentence or two, or write down the most important 1-2 ideas in those 1-2 pages: for example, 

pp. 1-2  Here Wiesel describes xxxxxx.  He gives as reasons xx and xx.
pp. 2-4  He says that xxxxx.

p. 5       He summarizes xxxxx. 

You must be detailed and specific so anyone reading your summary will know that you read the assignment and also will be able to tell from your sentences exactly what is in each page.  You also must write in complete sentences.  The purpose of practicing this kind of summary is to prepare you for future academic classes or jobs in which you may have to accurately, carefully, and in detail describe people, events, or writings you have seen.  We'll only do a very few of these this semester, so be patient--there will be many other kinds of writing to practice later.  Also, do not write homework during class time.  Class time is not a time for working on other assignments of any kind, for this class or another.   All homework assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.  

                  

4. Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w. in 2+ messages: Check the Bulletin Board or the "Eng 1114 Assignment Dates" above to see if we have BBs this week.  If so, do two 200+ word messages (a total of 400+ w.) by Wednesday midnight. 

                

5. In the Classroom: (Note: Each semester, this Monday or the next one usually is a holiday from school.  Check the list of weeks at the top of this page and column.)   What's due next?

4. Buy on Web Late for a Higher Price: Buy the book 1 week ahead of time from a place like www.amazon.com and pay a bunch extra for 2-3 day shipping.

5. Borrow "Reserve" Copy 3 Hrs./Time from IHCC Library: Use the IHCC Library copy that is on "Reserve" for just three hrs. at a time--you'll have to read it in or near the library.  But don't wait until a day or two ahead of time, as someone else might have it checked out when you need it.

6. Find Copy at Any Library with Longer Borrowing Time: See if you can find a copy to check out from a library's regular holdings.  The IHCC library might have its own copy to check out for longer, and other libraries might, too.  Do this as soon as possible--weeks in advance, and then renew it as needed--because other people will be trying to get it, too.

3. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1-A "Analysis" paper:.  To write it, follow the directions in your "Course Packet" for the "Draft 1-A and B Analysis Paper."  You may write a very, very rough-draft paper--just follow the directions for it.  Attach the same sheet of directions to the top of your rough draft paper when you turn it in.  (Please note also that if you don't have time to type it or make it long enough, or you are missing the directions page, turn it in anyway with at least 300+ words of very rough draft handwriting, and it will be on time.  However, do not write it during class time.  Class time is not a time for working on other assignments of any kind, for this class or another.   All assignments due on a specific day for this class must be turned in at the beginning of the class to get credit for them.   

                           

4. Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w. in 2+ messages: Check the Bulletin Board or the "Eng 1114 Assignment Dates" above to see if we have BBs this week.  If so, do two 200+ word messages (a total of 400+ w.) by Wednesday midnight. 

                

5. In the Classroom: What's due next? Questions?  Questions about how to do the Draft 1's in general?  What questions do you have about analysis papers?  What did the reading do to/for you?  Film?  Misc.: e.g., circle sentencing, other activities.  

        

6. All late Wk. 1-5 papers/make up absolutely due Wk. 7! The deadline for acceptance of any late homework and make up is Week 7.  None will be accepted later!

 Week 6: Dialogic Writing, continued  
  (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.) 

                       

ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed. or Th. (depending on whether class is held on M/W or T/Th)

     

1. Study Notes on Ch. B3, "Dialogic or Dialectic Papers," 150+ w.: Read the chapter in http://CollegeWriting.info and write 150+ w. of Study Notes about the chapter.  Please note that in a chapter of this type--that introduces a specific type of paper--you only need to read 3 of the sections: "Introduction," "Basics," and "Samples"; the "Advanced" section is optional.  Then write 150+ w. of Study Notes about the chapter.  If you already know how to write this type of paper, then try reading the "Advanced" section in place of "Basics," but still also read the "Intro" and "Samples."   

        

2. All late Wk. 1-5 papers/make up absolutely due Wk. 7! The deadline for acceptance of any late homework and make up is Week 7.  None will be accepted later!

4. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1-C "Dialogic Paper":  To write it, follow the directions in your "Course Packet" for the "Draft 1 C & D Dialogic Paper."  

                           

5. Draft 2's: Your first Draft 2 is due, now, as immediately as possible.  Write your Draft 2's as quickly as you can from your Draft 1's.  You can choose only one Draft 1 A/B to change into a Draft 2; one Draft 1 C/D, and one Draft 1 E/F, for a total of only three Draft 2's.  Each of these Draft 2's will be the same paper as the Draft 1 you choose; however, it will be longer and will have a bibliography with several sources added to it, along with quotations in the paper that come from those sources.  Draft 2 still is only a rough draft, but it does need sources added to help support what you say in your paper.  To find out just what to do, read the Course Packet's "Cover Sheet 2--Details" and come to class regularly.  Helpful tip: You don't have to have all your Draft 1 papers done, yet, to write a Draft 2.  In fact, you don't need to have both A and B (or both C & D, or both E & F) of Draft 1 papers done to choose between them: you can just go ahead and use the first of the two papers to create your Draft 2, if you want.

No regular class.  Instead, on Wednesday, attend Student Success Day in person or online to get credit for class attendance.  (Fill out a form I will give you, and write 150+ w. on the back of it about at least one 1-hr. SS Day session you attended.  You may get as much extra credit as you want by attending sessions, as long as you write about each one, and as long as no other teacher is giving you credit for the sessions you attend for this class.)   If you would like to make a presentation at this event, alone or with others, I will be glad to give you triple extra credit for the time you spend preparing and giving it and help you prepare it.  Ask me about it.

  (See "Assignment Dates," above, for dates.)  

                       

ASSIGNMENTS due by Wed. or Th. (depending on whether class is held on M/W or T/Th)

            

1. Study Notes on Ch. B2, "Thesis Papers," 150+ w.: Read the chapter in http://CollegeWriting.info and write 150+ w. of Study Notes about the chapter.  Please note that in a chapter of this type--that introduces a specific type of paper--you only need to read 3 of the sections: "Introduction," "Basics," and "Samples"; the "Advanced" section is optional.  Then write 150+ w. of Study Notes about the chapter.  If you already know how to write this type of paper, then try reading the "Advanced" section in place of "Basics," but still also read the "Intro" and "Samples."   

               

2. Read "Part III" of a 2nd book you've chosen from the list in "Textbooks & Resources."  You must choose your book only from the list in "Textbooks & Resources.  (What pages should you read?  The assignment is different for each book.  To see the page numbers for the book you have chosen, go to the description of your book in "Textbooks & Resources.").  If you don't like the book you chose last week, you may switch to one of the others on the approved list.  After reading your assignment from your chosen book, write a thesis paper about it (see directions below).

                     

3. Draft 1 Paper: Write a Draft 1-E "Thesis Paper":  To write it, follow the directions in your "Course Packet" for the "Draft 1 E & F Thesis Paper."  

                           

4. Draft 2's: Your second Draft 2 is due, nowHelpful tip: You don't have to have all your Draft 1 papers done, yet, to write a Draft 2.  In fact, you don't need to have both A and B (or both C & D, or both E & F) of Draft 1 papers done to choose between them: you can just go ahead and use the first of the two papers to create your Draft 2, if you want.

               

5. Draft 3's: Your first Draft 3 also is due.  Please turn it in as quickly as possible.  Your Draft 3's should be developed from your Draft 2's: your 1st Draft 2 should become your 1st Draft 3, your 2nd Draft 2 should become your 2nd Draft 3, and your 3rd Draft 2 should become your 3rd Draft 3.  To do a Draft 3, look for the "Draft 3" directions and cover sheet in the Course Packet.  Writing the Draft 3's involves three main activities: better organizing, paragraphing, and typing.  You'll also need to add 1 additional source.  Look on the page after the "Draft 3 Cover Sheet" to find more details especially about how to type your papers.  Helpful tip: You don't have to have all your Draft 1 and Draft 2 papers done, yet, to write a Draft 3.  Just use one of them that is done and work on it to get the next draft finished.  Remember: Draft 2's and worth more X's than Draft 1's; Draft 3's are worth even more X's, and Draft 4's are worth the most X's.  So, if you get behind in doing some of the beginning drafts, just do enough to help you move on quickly to Draft 2's-4's.  You can come back later to complete the early drafts that will never become more than Draft 1's.  

           

6. Bulletin Board due Wed., 400+ w. in 2+ messages: Check the Bulletin Board or the "Eng 1114 Assignment Dates" above to see if we have BBs this week.  If so, do two 200+ word messages (a total of 400+ w.) by Wednesday midnight.
