Course Statement:
My goal in this course is to help all students achieve a high level of confidence in their writing and
multimedia presentation abilities. I hope to consistently challenge those who are comfortable with
their writing skills and provide encouragement to those who see their writing as incomplete or
underdeveloped. Despite my position as instructor, I also hope to learn from my students. After all,
we are all at Purdue University to learn in an inviting and academic setting.
Required Texts & Materials
In this course, we will use the following textbook and materials. Your 10600 textbook is:
The Norton Field Guide to Writing, 3rd edition by Richard
Bullock,
Norton, 2013 (ISBN 978-0393919561).
You must also have the following materials for class:
Grade Breakdown

Unit 1: Memoir
Unit 2: Analysis of a Discourse Community
Unit 3: Research Paper

Total Points for the Course
90-100 (A)You did what the assignment asked at a high quality level, and your work shows
originality and creativity. Work in this range shows all the qualities listed below for a B; but it also
demonstrates that you took extra steps to be original or creative in developing content, solving a
problem, offering insight, or developing a verbal or visual style.
80-89 (B)You did what the assignment asked of you at a high quality level. Work in this range may
need some revision, be complete in content, organized well, and show special attention to style
and/or visual design. A paper that receives a grade of B may have one major problem or many
minor problems that need revision.
70-79 (C)You did what the assignment asked of you. Work in this range tends to need some
revision, but it is complete in content and the organization is logical. The style, verbal and visual, is
straightforward but unremarkable. A project that receives a grade of C may be good in some areas,
but has problems in other areas. A grade of C is average.
60-69 (D)You did what the assignment asked at a low level of quality. Work in this range tends to
need significant revision. The content is often incomplete and the organization is hard to discern.
Verbal and visual style is often non-existent or chaotic.
Below 60 (F) An F paper is usually one in which the student has not followed the assignment.
You may also earn an F if you plagiarize some of all of your material. Otherwise, an F paper is one
that shows below minimum effort or standards. If you give an assignment an honest try, I doubt you
would receive an F.
Assignments and Format Guidelines
Your work must be presentable. If you hand in sloppy or poorly proofread documents, they will be
returned to you for correction. You need to use 11- or 12-point in a readable serif font, and your
papers must be double-spaced unless I instruct you otherwise. We will default to MLA style in this
class, unless you request special dispensation, and I expect your papers to be formatted accordingly.
Work you hand in to me should have the following in the top left corner of the first page:
[Your name]
Mr. Queen
English 10600-740-58494
[The current date (or date assignment is due for longer works)]
In the header of every subsequent page, you must put your last name (only) and the page number.
Examples will be provided prior to the memoir assignment.
Unless otherwise announced, your assignment will be due on the date indicated on the
syllabus schedule as a HARD COPY IN CLASS. You are also responsible for stapling your
own papers. I will deduct points if I receive an un-stapled final product.
E-mail Etiquette
Please be aware that your emails to me should reflect your status as a high school graduate and
college student. Despite the ability to email your instructors from your phone, please take care to
properly spell, punctuate, and mind the standard conventions of a professional email. Take the time
to compose an informative subject for your email, include a pleasant salutation, and make sure to
include your name at the end of the email. Please also be aware that I will send frequent e-mails
to the course list.
If you miss more than four classes, your final letter grade will be lowered. This means
if you have 5 absences, the highest grade you may obtain is "B." If you have 6 absences, the
highest grade you may obtain is "C," and if you have 7 absences, the highest grade you may
obtain is "D." If you have 8 or more absences, the highest grade you may obtain is "F."
I will not excuse absences for personal crises. Therefore, save your absences in case you
really need them. I will excuse absences for illness only if you have the appropriate
documentation (a signed doctor's excuse). However, if you miss too many classes, you will
not have received the required instruction to pass this course. If you miss 8 classes (for
whatever reason), you should consider dropping the class if you are still able to do so;
otherwise you should be aware that you will need to retake 10600 in another semester.
In addition, I expect you to let me know before class via e-mail when you are going to be
absent. I often schedule specific group activities, and I need to know how many students will
be participating. Your absence can alter effective group activities. There are repercussions if
you don't show up at a job without letting anyone know, so think of this class as preparing
yourself for life after college.
If you are a member of PMO, a member of the Purdue Marching Band, a Purdue athlete, or
a member of another group that officially represents Purdue University and you anticipate
time conflicts between your university-sanctioned event and this class, please see me. Career
Fairs are not excused under any circumstances.
Tardy Policy
If you are going to be more than twenty minutes late to class, please know that it will be marked as
an absence. Unless you have an excuse that falls in with the above exceptions on absences (events,
doctors visit, etc.), arriving at 11:50 or later means youre absent. Youve already missed more than a
third of the class, and it would be aggravating (and unnecessary) for the rest of the class to wait
while someone catches you up. These tardy-absences function in the same way as regular absences,
and four of these will result in the dropping of your grade by one letter.
Campus Emergencies
We will spend some time during the first week of class discussing what to do in case of an
immediate campus emergency. The website on Emergency Preparedness is at
www.purdue.edu/ehps/emergency_preparedness/. In the event of a major campus emergency,
course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be
necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances beyond my control. Here are
ways to get information about changes in this course.
1) Check the course website.
2) Check your e-mail.
3) E-mail me at queenc@purdue.edu
You are expected to read your @purdue.edu e-mail on a frequent basis. Not only will you receive
important information from the university via e-mail, you will also receive a great number of
reminders and updates from me.
If you still have questions about what is and is not plagiarism, do not hesitate to ask me in class, in
my office, during conferences, or via e-mail.
Resources
Besides seeing me during your conference time or in my office, you have other resources at Purdue
to help you with your writing and writing assignments. The Writing Lab in Heavilon Hall, Room
226, offers FREE tutorials to students by appointment or on a drop-in basis. For more information
or to make an appointment, call 494-3723. You may also access the Online Writing Lab (OWL) at
http://owl.english.purdue.edu.
Dont forget the Purdue Libraries (notice that library is plural). For one of our projects, you will
get out of your computer chair and physically go to at least one of these libraries, but you also need
to know the libraries website. Its www.lib.purdue.edu.
In Hicks Undergraduate Library, you can check out equipment, use the computers, learn new
software, or reserve space to work collaboratively on a multimedia project. For more information,
go to https://www.lib.purdue.edu/services/equipment. Start at the iDesk on the main floor of the
Hicks Undergraduate Library.
Class Schedule
This schedule is subject to change. You will be notified on the course website of changes made to
the policies or syllabus.
If the schedule reads Norton followed by page numbers, you need to bring your textbook to class
that day. We will be going over material in the textbook, and you will lose Professional Ethos points
if you do not have your textbook on hand.
The words in the box indicate what will occur THAT DAY, and if the box contains the letters HW
this indicates that the existence and expected completion of homework for the NEXT CLASS
PERIOD. Homework can and will be assigned on conference days; yes, you must read, respond, or
print even if we do not meet that day for conferencing.
If I have you write a draft overnight or over the weekend BRING IT TO THE NEXT CLASS.
A note on keeping drafts and conferences:
When you come to conferences, bring all of your writing materials with you that you have
composed so far in the project. We may only conference the latest draft, but it is important
that you have all materials with you.
I will collect either the 1st or 2nd draft of each composition project, so check the syllabus to
see which one I ask for. I will indicate on the schedule what day you must bring two copies
of the draft. For example, on the Memoir project, I included on February 8th instructions to
print two copies of our 2nd draft. I will comment on one, and you will continue working on
the other with your classmates. If you dont bring two copies, I cannot make comments on
your draft (hint: my comments will only help your grade).
I cannot stress this enough: you will need to hand in hard copies of everything prewriting, drafts, final project, and reflection to receive full credit on these composition
projects. If you think I need it for a grade, dont throw it away. If you dont think I need it,
dont throw it away either. Better safe than sorry.
