Course Description: As stated in the 2019-2020 General Catalog, this course focuses on: A creative writing course designed to introduce students to the production of fiction and poetry. Essentially, this course is focused on the production of fictive works of literature and poetry. Our main goal in this course is to help the individual writers in our class craft stronger work that better expresses their ideas and visions by exposing them to a broad range of fictive and poetic writing techniques and exercises designed to expand the writers understanding of his or her craft. We will also strive to become critical and supportive readers of others work, and develop skills in reading literature from the perspective of craft (i.e. learning how writers read other writers). This course can be applied to The General Education Objective: Communication & Expression: 4. Fine Arts.

Gen. Ed. Objective: Demonstrate the ability to engage in the creative process as it applies to the subject.Participation in writing workshops. Method of Instruction: As this is an online course, WebCampus will serve as our classroom this semester. Each week on Monday at 12:00 a.m., I will open up a module for the current week that will provide you with information on all the assignments, readings, lectures and tasks you are expected to address prior to the following Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Each week, students can expect to watch the weeks lectures, complete freewriting/writing exercises, complete course projects, complete assigned readings, and complete writing workshop tasks. Course Assignments: To demonstrate achievement of goals and objectives, students will complete a variety of course assignments including: Writing Journal: Each student will keep a journal where the student will complete assigned writing exercises (and any unassigned ones they choose to include) that may be used to generate material for course projects. The student can rest comfortably knowing that the instructor will not read these writings in particular detail, as these exercises/freewrites are meant to serve the writer (as Neil Gaiman once said, the joy of a first draft is no one but you will ever read it). Writing Projects: Various projects in the semester will require students to submit fiction and poetry work to the course for workshop, revision and grading. Writing Workshop Responses: Each student will be asked to write short responses to the work of other students as well as contribute to classroom writing workshops. Final Portfolio: In lieu of a final, each student will submit at least three significantly revised course projects (at least one fiction piece and two poems) that demonstrates their development as a writer/their best work in the course. Grades: I grade on a point system in which each formal assignment is worth a set number of points. The point breakdown is as follows: Writing Journal: 300 Points Writing Workshops: 200 Points Writing Projects: 300 Points Final Portfolio: 200 Points Your final grade for the course is the sum total of your points translated to a letter grade by the following scale: A 1000-900 B 899-800 C 799-700 D 699-600 F 599 or Below If you ever have any questions or concerns about a grade youve received in my course, feel free to express your concern via e-mail or by setting-up an appointment with me to discuss it. I do ask that you wait 48 hours after receiving a grade before approaching me about a grade concern; take some time to cool off, consider my comments, and consider your thoughts on those comments so that we can discuss the matter in a productive mindset. Other Policies and Concerns: The Rule of Three and The Importance of Autonomy: In event you have any questions about the course, I am happy to answer them, but I do ask that, before asking a question, you make certain it isnt a question I have already answered elsewhere. For this reason, before you e-mail me a question, please make sure the information isnt: On the syllabus. On the assignment sheet for a given project. Discussed in detail in lecture. Its your responsibility to pay attention to course documents and materials, so make sure you have consulted them for things like due dates before contacting me. I am also a firm believer in the concept of autonomy, which means that part of the purpose of this course (and college, in general, I find) is to teach you how to find information on your own, make critical decisions regarding your own work without direct guidance and also work on your own without supervision. Its my job to provide you instruction, but not to do the work for you or answer questions you could answer for yourself with a little consideration and research. When youre legitimately stuck, let me know and Ill be happy to help, but make sure youve exhausted the resources available to you first. Late Work and Extensions: As a matter of professionalism and responsible behavior in general, you are expected to submit assignments on time and in the method described on the assignment sheet. If an assignment will be late, you should try to arrange for an extension in advance or let me know as soon as possible when I can expect the assignment. I make no promise to grade late assignments (any assignment submitted after its due date will, at least, receive fewer points) and I especially make no promise to grade them in a timely manner; by default, late assignments go to the bottom of my (often large) grading pile. Any assignment submitted more than a week after the due date will receive an automatic zero, unless arrangements have been made with the instructor to submit the assignment for credit. Academic Honesty: As this course is designed to prepare students to write independently in their future courses as well as in their careers, it is of the utmost importance that the work you submit for this course is your own, and that you adhere to the academic policies set out in the GBC Student Conduct Policy found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.gbcnv.edu/rights_responsibilities/conduct.html" http://www.gbcnv.edu/rights_responsibilities/conduct.html. Cheating, plagiarism and passing off anothers work/writing as your own will be treated as a violation of academic honesty standards, and the consequences may include loss of credit on an assignment, and, in cases of repeated offenses, loss of credit for the course. Cases of academic dishonesty will be handled with respect to the circumstances surrounding them, the degree of infraction, etc. etc. In general, keep in mind that this course is focused on your writing and your development, and I need to see your work to help you improve and learn. Accommodations for Students with Disabilities: Ĵý is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to qualified students with disabilities in accordance with state and federal laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A qualified student must furnish current verification of disability. The Disability Services Office, located in Leonard Student Life Center, will assist qualified students with disabilities in securing the appropriate and reasonable accommodations, auxiliary aids, and services. For more information or further assistance, please call 775.753.2271. Academic Success Centers: GBCs Academic Success Center is a wonderful resource for any and all students in this course. The ASC offers live tutoring, as well as tutoring via E-mail and Skype free of charge for all students attending GBC. They can help you with specific writing concerns, generating ideas, organizing your writing, documentation and developing effective strategies for editing your writing. That said, they will not proofread your essays for you: view your work with a tutor as a chance to get an informed viewpoint on your writing and to develop your own skill as a critical reader of your work. Also, whenever you work with a tutor, make sure you provide them with any needed supporting documents such as the assignment sheet for the project, as these will help them better understand your writing task. I urge all of you to utilize the ASC, as even the most seasoned writers rely on effective readers to improve their work. Learn more about the ASC at  HYPERLINK "http://www.gbcnv.edu/asc/" http://www.gbcnv.edu/asc/. Campus Security: GBC is committed to the safety of our students and has a duty to promote awareness and prevention programs for violence on campus under the Jeanne Clery Act as well as the Campus SaVE (Sexual Violence Elimination Act) and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), which are amendments to Clery. Acts of violence include, but are not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Acts of violence can occur on the physical campus or centers of GBC in addition to field placement sites, clinical practice settings, and other places where college or class activities occur.As well, the online environment at GBC is considered a GBC site.If you experience any incidence where your safety has been threatened or violated, or if you feel threatened or harassed, immediately report this to me, any center director, faculty, or staff member, or directly to the Director of Environmental Health, Safety & Security HYPERLINK "tel:%28775.753.2115" \t "_blank" (775.753.2115) or the Vice President for Student Services HYPERLINK "tel:%28775.753.2282" \t "_blank" (775.753.2282). Inclusivity Statement: Im of the mind that everyone deserves a learning environment that is welcoming and comfortable, and, for this reason, I strive to create educational communities in which everyone feels that they are a valued and respected contributor. In keeping with this policy, it is my responsibility to ensure that you are receiving the instruction and assistance you need, so, if you find yourself struggling with a particular assignment or the course in general, please let me know. I will do everything in my power to assist you and help you participate fully in the course. In addition, it is the responsibility of students in this course to behave respectfully toward one another in your interactions. Behaviors that disrupt the learning of, offends, or causes discomfort to other students will not be tolerated in this course. Respect is the foundation of any community, and this one is no different. This is especially true in this course. Sharing ones writing can be difficult for a writer, and any cruel or disparaging comments will not be tolerated.     J. Webster/ENG 205/Fall 2020/pg.
