ENGL 825 "1xbet sports betting and Literary History"
The weekly message board will run from Saturday to Friday, to encourage you to post right after as well as before our weekly class discussions, but I encourage you to contribute 1xbet sports betting ideas throughout the week and to check the board for others’ postings. 1xbet sports betting postings do not need to be long, but they do need to be substantive: they must be long enough to convey clearly the problem you are taking up and 1xbet sports betting point of view, connecting 1xbet sports betting comment to others' comments whenever possible. I will offer models of successful comments early in the semester.
1xbet sports betting Writing: During the semester, you will be doing different kinds of critical writing: not only informal postings to the message board, but also more formal response papers and an essay review, all of which will lead towards 1xbet sports betting final paper: a 12-15-page essay which contributes to the current critical conversation about Rowling's series.
Response papers, 1xbet sports betting essay review, and 1xbet sports betting final paper should follow the general rules of composition and be typed or word-processed with standard double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and either 11- or 12-point typeface. Title pages and cover sheets are unnecessary. Pages should be numbered, stapled together, spell-checked, and use the appropriate MLA citation format. These papers are due by the date and time on the syllabus; late papers will be penalized one grade (i.e.: A to B) for each day late. (Note: The University's Honor Code obliges you to cite the source of any idea that is not 1xbet sports betting own. Otherwise, you have plagiarized. If you do plagiarize, you will fail this course.)
Response papers are designed to ready you for class discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in 1xbet sports betting final paper. In 1xbet sports betting response paper, you should not repeat previous class discussions or provide a mere summary of the reading. Instead, 1xbet sports betting response should begin to analyze the primary and secondary reading assigned for that class session, selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. During the semester, you will write four response papers (2 pp in length) in response to our readings. Everyone will write a response paper for our first set of readings on school stories; for the remaining three response papers, you may choose which three novels or reading assignments you would like to discuss, being sure to choose one that is not a novel in Rowling’s series and two that are. Response papers are due at the start of class on the day we begin our discussion of the reading. Responses will be graded on a 1-5 scale: 5=A, 4=B, 3=C, 2=D, 1=F. I do not accept late response papers.
We'll discuss the essay review (4-5 pp.) and the final 1xbet sports betting (12-15 pp.) in the weeks ahead.
A note on sources: a "Works Cited" list or page should accompany any assignment that cites books and other outside sources, and you should use the MLA method for documenting sources. When you turn in a paper, you pledge that the work is 1xbet sports betting own and that you have faithfully abided by the guidelines for documenting sources. The University's Honor Code obliges you to cite the source of any idea that is not 1xbet sports betting own. If you quote, paraphrase, or use another's ideas, you must give credit to the person whose ideas you are using. Otherwise, you have plagiarized. If you have any questions, please ask. If you do plagiarize, you will fail this course.
1xbet sports betting and video resources: Along with some required online reading and viewing, I will refer 1xbet sports betting to additional resources available online or on video to complement our readings and discussions. Links within the online "Schedule of Classes" will take 1xbet sports betting to related online resources. I will add and update these resources as the semester progresses; if 1xbet sports betting locate a site or page which 1xbet sports betting find valuable, please let me know, and I'll consider adding it to the existing links.
1xbet sports betting : I highly recommend email as a way of touching base with me about 1xbet sports betting work for the class -- a kind of virtual office hours. You can send me queries about reading or writing assignments, 1xbet sports betting thesis statement for an essay, or anything else that could be handled with a quick exchange of messages. I check my email throughout the day, but please remember that I am not perpetually online.
Conferences: I want you to succeed in this course, and I am happy to meet with you about 1xbet sports betting work and 1xbet sports betting progress. I encourage you to see me before exams or papers are due, or if you have questions about material we discuss in class. Please feel free to stop by during office hours (M, W 9:00-10:00 a.m.), or contact me by phone or email to arrange a more convenient time to meet.
Note: If 1xbet sports betting have any condition such as a physical or learning disability that will make it difficult for 1xbet sports betting to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me in the first two days of the course. Any student with a disability who needs a classroom accommodation, access to technology, assistance during an emergency evacuation, or other assistance in this course should contact the Student Access Center (formerly Disability Support Services) and/or me. The SAC serves students with a wide range of disabilities including, but not limited to, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, depression, and anxiety.
Academic Honesty: Kansas State University has an Honor System based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance that, in academic matters, one&1xbet sports betting ;s work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system website can be reached <http://www.1xbet sports betting edu/honor/. A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." If you have any questions about 1xbet sports betting work in relation to the Honor System, please ask.
Expectations for 1xbet sports betting Conduct: All student activities in the University, including this course, are governed by the Student Judicial Conduct Code as outlined in the Student Governing Association By Laws, Article VI, Section 3, number 2. Students who engage in behavior that disrupts the learning environment may be asked to leave the 1xbet sports betting .
Grading: The response papers (20%), the multi-media project (10%), the essay review (10%), and class participation (20%) will count for just over half of 1xbet sports betting grade. The final writing project – a 12-15-page essay and accompanying abstract (40%) – completes the requirements.
Note: All assigned reading 1xbet sports betting be completed by the date listed.
