EEOC Statement: LSC-Montgomery is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and employment. The

college does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, gender, religion, disability, age, veteran

The Lone Star College System Academic Integrity Policy:

The Lone Star College System upholds the core values of learning: honesty, respect, fairness, and accountability. The

system promotes the importance of personal and academic honesty. The system embraces the belief that all learners—

students, faculty, staff, and administrators—will act with integrity and honesty and must produce their own work and give

appropriate credit to the work of others. Fabrication of sources, cheating, or unauthorized collaboration is not permitted on

any work submitted within the system.

The consequences for academic dishonesty are determined by the professor, or the professor and academic dean, or the

professor and chief student services officer and can include but are not limited to:

1. Having additional class requirements imposed,

2. Receiving a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment,

3. Receiving a grade of "F" for the course,

4. Being withdrawn from the course or program,

5. Being expelled from the college system. (LSCS Catalog 2014-2015, 81.)

Campus Carry Syllabus Statement (This is for Lone Star only):

The Texas Legislature enacted campus carry by passing Senate Bill 11, effective at LSC on August 1, 2017. Senate Bill 11,

known as the “Campus Carry” law, amends Texas law to allow license holders to carry concealed handguns on college

campuses. To carry a concealed handgun on LSC campuses, an individual must have a valid License to Carry issued by the

Texas Department of Public Safety.

LSC has established rules and regulations regarding enforcement of Campus Carry. Lone Star College prohibits concealed

carry in some areas of LSC campuses. For more information about Campus Carry, visit the LSC Campus Carry website at

http://www.lonestar.edu/campuscarry.

Grade Assessment:

The LSCS Catalog 2014-2015 states on page 71 that “Course outcomes are provided in the faculty member’s course

syllabus to students at the beginning of each course. The evaluation of student course progress and the final grade are

based on the degree of mastery of course outcomes.”

Grade analysis for ENGL 1301 courses for Fall 2017 for LSC-Montgomery:

A Excellent Performance 90 – 100

B Good Performance 80 – 89

C Acceptable Performance 70 – 79

D 60 – 69

F 0 – 59

Evaluations:

Class evaluations will be available for students to complete through their student portals online for several weeks after mid-

semester. The evaluation is part multiple choice and part comment. Instructors will not see these evaluations until after

they turn in grades at the end of the semester.

Counseling Services:

Change, stress, and personal growth are all elements of the college experience. Counselors are available to meet with

students to help identify, discuss, and address concerns that may be interfering with students’ educational goals. Students

often seek help for a variety of concerns including - but not limited to - stress, anxiety, depression, crisis, self-esteem, time-

management, and career exploration: www.lonestar.edu/counseling-services. The Lone Star College-Montgomery

counseling team serves the entire campus. For assistance, please seek any of the counselors listed below:

Turnitin.com:

Turnitin.com supports faculty in their quest to uphold academic integrity, and student coursework may be submitted to the

scrutiny of the Turnitin software. Please, note that these submissions of assignments to Turnitin do not constitute an

accusation or suspicion of plagiarism on the student’s part.

Tutoring at The Write Place and the Language Lab:

The Write Place and the language lab can help you with studying practices as well as specific learning issues you may

encounter in specific subjects. Also, you are able to receive one-on-one help with any part of the reading and writing

processes from trained and friendly tutors. You can visit The Write Place on the first floor of the G building, room 103 or

contact this lab at 936- 273-7055 or at http://www.lonestar.edu/write-place.htm. Nathan Zingleman is the coordinator for

The Write Place.

Computer Access:

Students have access to computers with educational software in the library (F building), in the Extended Learning Center

(ELC) on the second floor of Building C, and in The Write Place and hallways in G building. This campus is a wireless

campus, meaning that if you have wireless technology on your computer, you can access the internet anywhere on campus.

In the library and ELC, you can print documents paying 10 cents per page by using a card you can buy or by using your

Lone Star Identification card.

Library:

Students may access books, journals, videos, and other materials from any Lone Star College library. A LSCS student ID

serves as a library card. Students may request materials from other libraries and pick them up at the Montgomery Campus

library on the first floor of Building F. Also, students may work online through the library’s databases to access academic

research.

Willis High School library is an amazing resource not often utilized. The databases that we subscribed to are better and

more reliable than google. I will introduce you to them later this semester. Please use the WHS library; however, the LS

library and Montgomery County libraries are great resources, as well.

Veterans Services: To get information about Veterans’ Services, visit the Veterans’ Services office in C Building, office C221-B or call the

office at 936-273-7242.

Transfer and Career Services:

These two services are part of the TRAC Center (Transfer, Recruitment, and Careers), which is located in Building C in

room 227 E. Contact the Center at 936-271-6218 or www.LoneStar.edu/trac/.

Changes to Assignment Schedule and Course Policies:

The instructor reserves the right to update the course policies, assignments, and schedule at any time. Changes may be

made throughout the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to keep up with changes as they are announced.

Course Concerns:

Discuss any course questions or concerns you have with your instructor as they arise. The instructor’s contact information

is listed on the first page of the syllabus.

Course assignments:

The evaluation of a student’s course progress and final grade is based upon the degree of mastery and of course outcomes.

Grades:

Because this is a composition course, much of the course grade is determined by the performance on a number of written

pieces. At the same time, this is a course that draws reading, comprehension, and discussion, as well as vocabulary. In

addition to essays using various rhetorical techniques, the completion of a research paper will be required. Each student

will be required to participate in a workshop of ideas regarding the proposals. Workshops will also be employed for the

revision and editing processes for papers that will be submitted. Being able to work in a group or partner setting is

imperative. Each student will be required to maintain a portfolio of their work.

Assignment % of Final Grade for MP

Tests/Projects/Major Papers 60 %

Daily/Quizzes 40 %

Assignment % of Final Grade for Semester

MP 1 45%

MP 2 45%

Final Exam 10%

Grading Scale:

The evaluation of a student’s course progress and final grade is based upon the degree of mastery and of course outcomes.

The grade breakdown for this class follows the grading scale for Willis High School. The grade breakdown for this class is

as follows:

WHS grade scale LSC-Montgomery grade scale

Essay Grading Criteria:

Each essay will be evaluated in regard to the strength of the thesis, the organization of the essay, the development and

support of the argument, and grammar/writing style. Additional details will be provided during class.

Final Exam Information: Dual Credit students will not be allowed to exempt their final exam.

Late Work Policy:

Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day it is due - NOT later at the end of the period. It is 10 percent off if

sent after class on the same day.

Daily work No daily work will be accepted late unless student is absent

Major grades 1 day late -25 points will be deducted from the grade the assignment receives

2 days late -50 points will be deducted from the grade the assignment receives

Due to the nature of some major assignments (essays, writing workshops, etc.), some major assignments will not be

accepted late. The teacher will notify the students in advance when assignments will not follow the traditional late

work policy. This will apply to essays written outside of class (for the rough draft – especially – which is a major grade

and cannot be late).

Make-up Work Policy:

For students who were ABSENT, for whatever reason, it is THEIR responsibility to get the assignments they missed from a

classmate, from my website, or from me at the END of the school day. Major assignments such as essays written outside of

class and projects that are due must be emailed or dropped off at the front office if student is absent. Please check website

regularly as handouts will be posted there for student access. No excuses.

Daily work: It is the student’s responsibility to collect and complete all work missed due to an absence. The

student has one day for every day missed.

Tests and vocabulary quizzes must be taken on test/quiz day – even if the student is absent the day prior. If a

student is absent on the day of the test/quiz, it is the student’s responsibility to make-up the test/quiz no later

than two weeks after the day of the test/quiz. The grade for a missed test or quiz will be entered as a zero,

regardless of the type of absence, until the student makes up the missed quiz. Please note that the student cannot

wait until the end of the marking period to make up a test or quiz. This is imperative. Do not wait.

MLA Format – Quick Guide:

Essays and papers written in this class will adhere to the conventions of MLA formatting. Please remember the following:

Times New Roman – 12 point font – do not bold any line

Double spaced – 2.0

Margin all around the page is 1 inch

Number all pages – except the first page – in top right corner. You must include last name before page number.

Ex: Henderson 2 (This will be the only time you use the header function.)

All documents shall begin with your name in the top left (not in header – will be first line of page); then

instructor’s name on second line; class name on third line; due date on fourth line.

On the fifth line, you should have a title centered on page. The title should be appropriate, relevant, and original.

Do not bold title; Do not change font; Do not underline title.

The first five lines will only be on the first page. I am hesitant to use the term “header” because you do not use the

header function.

Third person point of view is often the best to use in a formal essay; however, at times, you may find it necessary

to use first person, such as in a personal narrative. Please avoid the use of second person – “you.”
