FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE LEARNING COMMUNITY COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to the First Year Experience Learning Community at PVCC. You are embarking on an adventure in learning! As a student in this cohort, you are enrolled in 6 credits. The theme of this FYE block is “Engaging in Communities: Global, Local and Learning.” This program is for the student who may be unsure of his/her major. This block is designed to help you define your career goals more clearly and give you the tools you need to achieve those goals. Your instructors have linked their respective courses in order to make more meaningful connections in the subject matter.
In addition to the course competencies, the FYE Learning Community has been designed to help you successfully achieve the following learning outcomes:
•Increase preparedness for future academic coursework•Build and maintain relationships with peers, faculty and staff•Develop personally • Transition to college life•Learn to navigate the college culture•Develop an understanding of the interconnectedness among academic disciplines•Engage in campus life•Identify connections between college coursework and future plans and goals•Develop feelings of belonging and connectedness to PVCC.
Attendance Policy
Only persons who are registered for a class at any of the Maricopa Community Colleges may attend that class. Attendance requirements are determined by the course instructor. Students who do not meet the attendance requirement, as determined by the course instructor, may be withdrawn.
Students who fail to attend the first scheduled class meeting, or to contact the instructor regarding absence before the first scheduled class meeting may at the option of the instructor be withdrawn.
At the beginning of each course, each faculty member will provide students with written attendance requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to consult with the instructor regarding official or unofficial absences. Absences begin to accumulate with the first scheduled class meeting.
Students bear the responsibility of notifying the Office of Admissions and Records when they discontinue studies in a course or at the college. Please refer to the Withdrawal Procedures.
Class attendance and participation are highly essential for student success in this class. Since there is an overall attendance grade that averages into the final grade, each class meeting is worth a specified number of points. Absences, tardies, and leaving class early reduce the number of points for this portion
3
of your grade, and the instructor reserves the right to withdraw any student who misses in excess of four (4) class meetings. Three tardies count the same point deduction as one absence.
If a student does not attend the full class period, the instructor will record this as an absence.
Withdrawal Policy:
The English Division recommended policy states that English Division instructors may withdraw students who accumulate unofficial absences in excess of the number of times a class meets per week.
See the PVCC schedule of classes for the refund/withdrawal policy. Should a student fail to keep in contact with the instructor or fail to officially withdraw, a final grade may be submitted at the end of the semester at whatever letter grade is valid.
Students bear the responsibility of notifying the Office of Admissions and Records when they discontinue studies in a course or at the college. Please refer to the Withdrawal Procedures.
Instructor Expectations:
Classroom Etiquette:
Cell phones and pagers must be turned off during class instruction, absolutely no calls or text messaging during class or consequences will result. Five (5) points will be deducted from your grade each time your cell phone is visible in the classroom. Please arrive on time and listen respectfully while the instructor or other class members are speaking. Taping of lectures is not allowed unless you receive special permission from the instructor. Food and drink are not permitted in the classroom.
For Your Protection:It is your responsibility to SAVE your essays and assignments on your hard drive, CD or “jump” drive. Keep these copies in a safe place until you have received your final grade.
The Writing Center:Please feel free to utilize the writing center and its tutors, who can assist you with grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, spelling, thesis statements, research papers, and other editing concerns. The tutors cannot write your paper; the point for using their services is to become a better writer. You need to schedule an appointment to work with a tutor in the center. The Writing Center is located in the Learning Support Center.
Students Rights and Responsibilities:Students are responsible to read and understand the District-wide Scholastic Standards found in the current Student Handbook. Pay particular attention to the technology section, 2.5.2 Student Disciplinary Code, Article III, Paragraph 15.
4
Student Disabilities:Students with disabilities who believe they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Disability Resource Center, KSC, 602.787.7171.
Official Absences -- MCCCD policy states that:Official absences are those that occur when students are involved in an official activity of the college, i.e., field trips, tournaments, athletic events, and present an official absence excuse form. Absences for such events shall not count against the number of absences allowed by an instructor or department. Students who must miss a class for an official reason must obtain an official absence verification card from the appropriate dean or associate dean and present it to the appropriate instructor(s) before the absence. Prior arrangements must be made with each instructor for make-up work. If prior arrangements have been made, the students will not be penalized.
IMPORTANT: Pursuant to Maricopa Community College District policy, an instructor may withdraw students who accumulate unofficial absences in excess of the number of times a class meets each week. The District defines an OFFICIAL absence to include ONLY the following:
1. Religious Holiday2. Required Court Appearances3. Required Military Leave
In the event of the death of an immediate family member, absences for periods of up to one week will not be counted against the number of absences allowed by an instructor or department. Students should contact instructor(s) as soon as possible to arrange for make-up work. Appropriate documentation will be required (for example, a copy of the obituary or funeral program). In specialized programs that require clinical rotations, this regulation may not apply.
Religious Holidays -- MCCCD policy states that:Students shall have the right to observe major religious holidays without penalty or reprisal by any administrator, faculty member or employee of the Maricopa Community Colleges. Absences for such holidays shall not count against the number of absences allowed by an instructor or department. At least one week before the holiday, students shall submit to their instructor(s) a written statement that includes both the date of the holiday and the reason why class attendance is impossible. Prior arrangements must be made with each instructor for make-up work. If prior arrangements have been made, the student will not be penalized.

Instructor’s Class Description:
9
This fundamental course is required of all college degrees nationwide. It should be taken in the first semester since it provides a foundation for all further college work requiring skills in the development of ideas and the writing of essays. The emphasis is on writing as a process and the ways in which word processing via the computer lab can make that process easier and more creative. Students will work in the computer lab on word processing, editing, and storing, retrieving, and printing documents. The goal is to produce a series of "finished" essay types as prescribed by the District Exit Competencies. A "finished" essay is one that has been carried through all the stages of the writing process, with the assistance of the computer lab, to a final version, proofread and revised for maximum effect on an audience, including the elimination of such distractions as spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors.
While some review material is covered, this course assumes students possess basic skills in English, including the ability to:
1. use correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling,2. use basic writing strategies that show an understanding
of sentence structure, clear expression of ideas, andstandard English usage.
Students are responsible to read and understand the Districtwide Scholastic Standards found in the current Student Handbook. Pay particular attention to the technology section in Article III, Paragraph 15.
(Note: To enroll in English 102, students must receive a “C” or better in English 101.)
Assignments and Grading Policy:
Assignments: (Students are responsible for submitting hard copies/printed copies ofall assignments; the instructor will not print emailed assignments.)
Four Essays: 750+ words each = 400 points
Rough Drafts/Peer Editing 35 points
In-Class Writing Assignments/ 130 points (approx.)Pop Quizzes
Attendance 15 points
Final Exam 100 points
680 points (approx.)
Grading Scale:
10
90 – 100 = A80 - 89 = B70 - 79 = C60 - 69 = D
70% = Minimum of 4 essays (typed)
30% = Other assignments and class requirements, such as additional essays and other writing assignments, participation, attendance, and the final exam.
Extra Credit Policy: Students may earn extra credit points by attending one (1) PVCC Counseling workshop/event and writing a reflective paragraph.
Late Work Policy
For any of the four formal essays, one (1) will be accepted as late work. Note: Final essays are due at the beginning of class when the instructor calls for them the first 5 minutes of class on the date specified on the “Basic Course Outline and Assignments” sheet in this syllabus. This will be accepted with the understanding that there will be a ten (10) percent penalty of the assignment's total point value. This is basically one grade level below the final assignment grade. Any late work that is accepted must be submitted within the first class meeting after the original due date. After the one late paper has been submitted, any subsequent late papers will not be accepted, and a “0” will result for the assignment.
The limit of one homework assignment may be made up for late credit with a 10% penalty. Any make-up work of short writing assignments beyond the given limit will not be accepted for a grade.
Note: All assignments which are submitted as "late" work must be given to the instructor within the first class meeting following the original due date. The general rule is that late work is submitted with at least a 10 percent grade penalty.
Late work is defined as an assignment being submitted after the due date identified on the course outline/matrix. One late assignment is permitted in each course.
I WILL NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK DURING THE FINAL WEEK OF CLASS.
THE WRITING PROCESS:
11
The Rough Draft
Prewriting is essential to the learning and improving of the students' skills. Thus a rough draft for all formal essays must be submitted to the instructor. This assignment has a twofold purpose: it will help to insure that the student gives the process approach to writing an opportunity to work for him or her, and it allows the student to better discover and develop his or her ideas without the undue pressure of writing a "final" draft on the first attempt.
Rules for the Rough Draft
1. Although a rough draft will be accepted in handwrittenform, it is suggested that this draft be done on theword processor. If this draft is handwritten, I willonly accept writing done on one side of the paper.(Note: It is the student’s responsibility to print a hard copy ofthe draft. The instructor will not print an emailed draft.)
2. This is an assignment that will be given a grade only for its timely submission, completeness, and peer editing participation.The instructor will not grade the rough draft or make comments on it. However, these rough drafts will be discussed in class.
3. The student must have a complete essay (at least 5 full paragraphs, 750+ words) to peer edit during the class period in order to receive the ten (10) points.
4. A late rough draft will receive no points.
5. If a complete rough draft (750 words minimum, five paragraph) is not submitted on the assigned date during the class period, then the final essay will receive a grade that is ten (10) percent lower than its merited grade.
6. The final essay must be on the same subject as therough draft, and the rough draft must be stapled to the final essayor a zero (0) will result.
Final Essay
Final essays are due at the beginning of class when the instructor calls for them the first 5 minutes of class on the date specified on the “Basic Course Outline and Assignments” sheet in this syllabus. (It is the student’s responsibility to provide a hardcopy/ printed copy of the essay; the instructor will not print an emailed copy of the essay.) Any student appearing late on that date and after the instructor has collected the essays will receive a 10% penalty for a late essay. All final essays will be typed in MLA format or they will not be accepted, which means a zero (0) will result.
12
Rewrite Policy
A student may rewrite Essay 1 for a higher grade. The rewrite must be submitted, with the original essay and evaluation form, no later than one week from its return. A rewrite may mean a major revision of purpose, ideas, thesis statement, paragraph structure, and supporting details. A rewrite does not simply refer to the editing of sentence structure, spelling, grammatical errors, and usage problems. However, these secondary concerns should be corrected in any rewrite.
General Rewrite Rules
1. No rewrites are accepted more than seven (7) daysafter the original paper is returned. NO LATE REWRITES!
2. A maximum of five (5) revision points for Essay 1 may be
added to your grade depending upon the corrections made.
3. Late papers lose the rewrite privilege.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious offense. It is the unacknowledged use of another’s words, ideas, or information. Some common examples of plagiarism are summarizing or paraphrasing source material without documentation, quoting without citations, copying all or parts of another writer’s paper, having another person write the paper, or purchasing another writer’s paper.
To avoid plagiarism, students must give a source credit for any ideas or information they have used in an essay, whether they have paraphrased, summarized, or quoted from the source. If quotation marks are not used for quoted material, it is also considered plagiarism. If the source material has been taken directly (verbatim) from an article, quotation marks must appear around the material and be cited or it is considered plagiarism and a zero “0” will result on the essay!
A student who plagiarizes is subject to disciplinary probation and suspension (see page 218 of the PVCC Catalog.) The first occurrence of plagiarism may result in a zero for that assignment. A second occurrence may result in a grade of “F” for the course.
Plagiarism on any English essay will result in a “0” and can result in failing English 101. (See attached handout on “Cheating.” Refer to appropriate syllabus for individual plagiarism policies.)
Note: Students will be notified by the instructor of any changes in course requirements or policies.

What is this course about?
Course Purpose: This course is designed to help you create greater success in college and in life. In the coming weeks, you will learn many proven strategies for creating greater academic, professional, and personal success. We will use guided journal writings to explore these strategies, and as a bonus, you will learn to express yourself more effectively in writing. You may never again have an opportunity quite like this one to discover how to create a rich, personally fulfilling
20
life. I urge you make the most of this extraordinary opportunity! If you do, you will dramatically change the outcome of your life – for the better!
Course Objectives: In this course you will learn how to…1. Take charge of your life. You will learn how to take greater personal responsibility, gaining
more control over the outcomes and experiences that you create both in college and in life. 2. Increase self-motivation. You will learn to create greater inner motivation by, among other
things, discovering your own personally meaningful goals and dreams. 3. Improve personal self-management. You will learn numerous strategies for taking control of
your time and energy, allowing you to move more effectively and efficiently toward the accomplishment of your goals and dreams.
4. Develop interdependence. You will learn how to develop mutually supportive relationships with people who will help you achieve your goals and dreams as you assist them to achieve theirs.
5. Increase self-awareness. You will learn how to understand and revise your self-defeating patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion as well as your unconscious limiting beliefs.
6. Master effective study skills. You will learn how to raise your grades in college by improving essential study skills like reading, note taking, memorizing, studying, and test taking.
Method: By reading On Course (our textbook), you’ll learn empowering strategies that have helped others create great success. By keeping a guided journal, you’ll discover how to apply these success strategies to achieve your own goals and dreams. By participating in class activities and focused conversations, and by completing a course project, you will further improve your ability to stay on course to your success. Once you make these new strategies your own through application, you’ll have the ability to dramatically improve the outcome of your life – academically, professionally, and personally.
What are the ground rules?
Attendance:Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. You are expected to arrive on time. Late arrivals or early departures will result in loss of attendance points. If you know in advance that you will be arriving late, leaving early, or missing any part of a session entirely, you will be expected to notify the instructor as soon as possible by email, by phone, or in person. 3 absences requires meeting with instructor. Three late arrivals equals one absence.
Late Work Policy: Late work is automatically 10% off.
Classroom Etiquette:Portable electronic devices must be turned off during class instruction as they
are very disruptive to the learning process. Please arrive on time, leave when class is dismissed, and listen respectfully when someone else is speaking. Students whose behavior interferes with the learning process will be asked to leave class.
For Your Protection:It is your responsibility to SAVE your journals, essays, and assignments on your hard drive or
other storage device. Keep these copies in a safe place until you have received your final grade.
21
Success Journals: Your success journal provides an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings as you experiment with the success strategies presented in On Course. By carefully examining each strategy in your journal, you will discover which ones will assist you to create a rich, personally fulfilling life. Although I will be collecting your journals and looking through them, write your journal for yourself, not for me.
The numbered journal entries in the On Course textbook will typically be written outside of class. These entries will be written in class. At various times you may have an opportunity to do a book-based activity with your classmates. THEREFORE, PLEASE BRING YOUR TEXTBOOK TO EVERY CLASS.
Journal Evaluations: Journals are due as stated in Canvas. The entry is complete (all steps in the directions have been responded to), and the entry is written with high standards (an obvious attempt has been made to dive deep). It is preferred that journals be completed in canvas. However, handwritten journals will also be accepted. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation will NOT be factors in awarding points in this journal.
