Assignments may be added to the calendars during class, so if you miss a day, be sure to contact a peer to make sure you haven t missed anything important. A general overview of units is found at the end of this syllabus. GRADING The maximum cumulative grade is 100.

Speech 101: Elements of Speech Professor Gary Enns 2 HOME-/IN-CLASS WORK Homework and in-class work may include assignments such as chapter reading responses, answers to study questions, researching, online assignments, reading quizzes, responses to speeches, and more. For full credit, complete these assignments with thoroughness and submit them by the deadline specified by your instructor. Assignments even one minute late will be considered late and will receive a C if adequately completed. Assignment responses more than one week late will not be considered for points. PEER CRITIQUES On speech days, you are responsible for turning in critiques of speeches given by your peers. This will require gauging the effectiveness of a speech on several levels. You must witness a speech and turn in your form in class in order to receive credit. Critiques cannot be made up. SPEECHES You will give several speeches throughout the semester. Dress nicely, project your voice, engage the audience, and maintain composure. Your performance will be evaluated on numerous factors according to a standardized rubric. (See the general grading rubric in this syllabus for a general idea of grade factors.) On speech day and before class, be sure to upload the digital copy of your speech outline to Turnitin using the instructions below. Arrive at least ten minutes early to turn in a stapled hard copy of your speech to your instructor. If you miss your speech date, you have up to one week to turn in your outline and make up your speech outside of class for a grade no higher than a C. Late speeches will not receive comments. Here are the instructions for digital submission of your speech outlines: 1. Go to www.turnitin.com 2. If it is your first time ever using this service, click Create Account and follow the directions. 3. Once you've created a profile, log in and enroll in our course using the class name, class ID, and enrollment password found at the top of the first page of this syllabus. 4. Find the "Paper" assignment you need. Open it and UPLOAD YOUR DOCUMENT. DO NOT COPY/PASTE: Browse for your document on your computer and then upload it as an RTF or Word document. Follow through to conclude with a digital receipt. The digital receipt is simply a receipt of the text and will not show your formatting. To see your formatted document, browse through your turnitin submissions and open the essay document. FINAL EXAMINATION The final is a cumulative exam designed to test your understanding of the materials covered in the class. Show up on time for the exam and complete the exam in class to be eligible for credit. The final exam is not eligible for make-up and must be taken on the exam date and time for credit. UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFO Be sure to use your school email for school correspondence. If you rely on a personal email address, be sure your school email is forwarding to your personal address correctly. Be consistent in order to avoid

Speech 101: Elements of Speech Professor Gary Enns 3 email confusion and communication delays. If any of your contact information changes, inform your professor of the change, and update your school records through https://inside.cerrocoso.edu/. MISSED MATERIAL I am always happy to go over material that you have questions about or do not understand; however, if you miss or plan on missing a class, be sure to call a fellow classmate to see what you missed. Better yet, ask him or her to collect copies of any materials for you, share any notes taken in class, and inform you about any upcoming assignments so that you don t miss anything important. Avoid asking your professor to revisit/re-teach the class period you have missed. DROPPING Drop dates for this semester are found at http://www.cerrocoso.edu/specificdates/specificdates.htm. Following is a description of the drop procedures and dates: A. BEFORE THE 10% DATE: It is the student s responsibility to withdraw from the course prior to the 10% date in order to qualify for a refund. It is also the student s responsibility to apply to receive the refund. B. BEFORE THE 20% DATE: It is the student s responsibility to withdraw from the course prior to the 30% date in order to avoid a W on transcripts. C. BEFORE THE 60% DATE: It is the student s responsibility to withdraw from the course prior to the 60% date to receive a W and not receive a substandard grade on transcripts. Drop dates for this semester are posted under Essential Documents on the course homepage. Simply ceasing to attend a class does not constitute withdrawal. If you are missing many of the classes and assignments for health and/or other reasons, I urge you to drop during the time frame specified. I cannot tailor-make assignments, lessons, and make-up work for students missing class as this would neither be fair nor equitable for those consistently attending and turning in work. While it is the final responsibility of the student to drop a class that she/he is no longer attending, instructors may at their discretion drop students without consultation with the student when unexcused absences number the equivalent of two weeks or exceed 10% of the total hours of class sessions, up to the 10th week of the semester or the 60% date of the enrolled course. No student may be dropped from any class after the 10th week or the 60% date; after this time, students will be assigned the appropriate letter grade. While it is the responsibility of instructors to communicate attendance policies and to apply them equally to all students, it is the responsibility of students to know the policy in each of their classes and to be aware of their current attendance status. Students who have been absent from a class should notify the instructor of the reason for the absence. Absence in no way relieves students of responsibility for work missed. Excessive absence may result in the student being dropped from the course. If particular circumstances warrant and can be justified academically, faculty members may drop students after less than two weeks of absences. DISABLED STUDENT PROGRAM SERVICES Special services are available for students with disabilities. If you have a disability which may require classroom or test accommodations, please contact Disabled Student Program Services (DSPS) via the

Speech 101: Elements of Speech Professor Gary Enns 4 Special Services website (http://www.cerrocoso.edu/specialservices). You can also visit the Special Services office of your campus or contact the central office at 760-384-6250. You will need to provide written documentation of your disability. If you think you have a disability but currently have no documentation, DSPS may be able to help you. All information will be kept confidential. LEARNING ASSISTANCE CENTER The Learning Assistance Center provides a variety of support services for students enrolled in academic and vocational courses (www.cerrocoso.edu/lac). If you would like to receive tutoring, ask your professor for a referral and then fill out the tutoring request form found on the LAC website or in your campus LAC. If you don t hear from someone soon after your submission, I recommend contacting the LAC office on your campus to inquire about your request. You can also contact the supervisor by calling (760) 384-6161 or by visiting the LAC website. COURSE MATERIALS AND CRITICAL THINKING/DIVERSITY In this course, students may encounter material that challenges their viewpoints and/or beliefs. The communications department feels strongly that a student's ability to examine carefully and write seriously on ideas that he or she may not agree with is a crucially important critical thinking and interpersonal skill in our diversified community. For this reason, alternative materials will not be assigned. If a student feels that he or she simply cannot study the works assigned, then the student should consider dropping the class. PLAGIARISM Plagiarism: The action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc., and passing it off as one's own; literary theft (Oxford English Dictionary). Students are expected to submit their own original work written and performed specifically for this course. All sources quoted, paraphrased, summarized, or otherwise borrowed from, must be given proper credit through the use of quotation marks, parenthetical intext citations, and Works Cited pages. See a recent edition of an MLA handbook for specifics on documentation. Plagiarism constitutes a breach of academic conduct for which the college imposes severe penalties. It is easy for an instructor to spot plagiarism, especially with the services of turnitin.com. If a paper, quiz, exam, journal entry, or forum post contains plagiarism of any kind or turns out to be associated in any way with an online "research assistance firm," the piece in question will receive an automatic zero and cannot be made up. Depending on the severity of the case, further disciplinary action may be taken. Flagrant cases of plagiarism will be reported to the vice president of student learning.
