ENGL 695 "Hamilton in Context"
The weekly online discussion 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 discussion 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 semesterr.
To post to the 1xbet sports betting discussion, follow these directions:
1. Go to my homepage at http://www.ksu.edu/english/westmank/ and click on our course (ENGL 695), and then “Online Discussion” to login to Canvas and go directly to the “Discussions.” (1xbet sports betting may also login to the K-State Online course page for ENGL 695, click on “Discussions.”)
2. 1xbet sports betting should see all the messages posted to date and the newest threads ones first.
3. To post, choose to “reply,” so you can engage directly in the conversation and 1xbet sports betting message can “thread” beneath the one you’re responding to.
You will have a choice of three topics for Paper #1, and you will have a choice of many topics for Paper #2; I will distribute detailed assignment sheets for each paper. Both papers 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, and spell-checked. 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.)
You will also write four response papers (2 pages in length) in response to our readings or viewings. Response papers are designed to prepare you for class discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in 1xbet sports betting longer papers. In 1xbet sports betting response paper, you should not repeat previous class discussions or provide a mere summary of our assigned texts. Instead, 1xbet sports betting response should begin to analyze the text or texts assigned for that class session, responding to the assigned prompt or selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. I recommend that you select a word, phrase, or short quotation to initiate 1xbet sports betting response. (See the sample response distributed on the first day of class as an example.)
Everyone 1xbet sports betting write a response paper for our first reading assignment from Chernow’s biography (Alexander Hamilton 1-309), for 1776, and for our 1xbet sports betting of Hamilton on stage; for the fourth response paper, 1xbet sports betting may choose from the remaining assigned texts on the syllabus. Response papers are due at the start of class on the day we begin our discussion of the texts. 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.
