I will support your writing of the essays tons and tons! If this happens but you don't do well, I will help you rebound from that. What is one behavior regarding the essays that is not supported?

What is not doing one or both of them. You might have said, plagiarizing or using AI. That's actually true too since it results in a 0 and no credit for "doing them." 
100

This is where you will find most of the class readings from now on.

What is the class packet? It's free, that's what!

100

I hope you'll want to be here every day! If something comes up, this is the greatest number of absences you can have and still have an A in Attendance.

4

100

Fire! Regular contibutions! We miss you when you're not here!

What is an A

100

Afterwork SWEs are due on this day

Later the same day as class!

200

This class supports you in almost every way! Name 3 behaviors that this class does NOT support

What are any of these dissociative behaviors:1) Device use (without special arrangement); 2) Talking while others are talking; 3) Being insulting of or uncivil to others; 4) Sleeping; 5) Ear buds; 6) Head down on desk
200

In addition to Language, Unit 2 is about this!

Information literacy! AKA Research

200
This is the number of absences beyond which a student cannot pass the class.

15, or half the semester

200

A bit hit or miss. Occasional contributions, not always based, but attentive, and overall a bright spot in class interactions. (The grade depends on frequency of this.)

What is B-range (fair)

200

This is how you turn in SWEs

On the class Canvas page!

300

This is where you find the Turnitin portals for outside-class writings (short writing exercises and essays)

What is the class Canvas page

300

For an absence to be excused (meaning it doesn't count as an absence), it needs one of these two things

Medical documentation or a university reason

300

“Present,” though I might not know the sound of your voice by the end of the semester. Zero light or dark emanates from the chair in which you sit.

What is a C

300
You must be formal in your SWEs

What is bullshit, Alex?

400

This is how you turn in short writing assignments and essays.

What is Turnitin!

400

This is the non-passing range of absences

9 and greater 

400

Not passing. This unfortunate grade results from some combination of inattentiveness, being distracted and distracting, and disruptive (which means I have to interrupt class to tell you throughout the semester to get off your phone even though you think you so sly, or to stop talking while others are talking cuz that ain’t nice)

D-range (sus!)

400

You can totally use AI to bust the SWEs out

Uh no. I mean, What is, uh no? That be cheating, y'all. Work that college students turn in must be original to them, not to another person or entity

500

These are the 5 graded (and lived!) elements of this class.

What are: 1) Showing up (attendance); 2) joining in (participation); 3) taking notes (notebooks); 4) writing short writing exercises; 5) writing two essays.

500

This happens every other Thursday.

What is an asynchronous class?

500

Students sometimes show up but come late, leave early, and dip mid-class. This is how that appears in Attendance

They are each partial absences that add up to full absences

500

This is for students who detract the learning environment. No one wants this: not you, not your fellow classmates, and not me! In fact, I’ll probably have to be addressing this in a disciplinary fashion during the semester.

Yeah, no. I mean, F.  No one can get to this, actually, because something else will have to happen first. Knowumsayne?

500

SWEs are graded based on how many are fully completed. (See the Rubric for that.) But this number are mandatory.
