• Attendance and participation in whole-class discussion (outcome 3; 10%): Every three absences without an official (Student Affairs) excuse drops the course grade a letter grade.
  
• Quizzes (outcomes 1,2, and 4; 5%): eight out of ten, no make-ups
• Small Group Work (outcomes 1-4; 5%): eight out of ten, no make-ups
• Writing Response (outcome 4; 5%)
  
• Journal (outcomes 1-4; 15%): Missing journal deadlines results in partial credit.
  
• Formal academic writing: Missing draft deadlines results in zero for draft credit. Credit for final drafts requires participation in writing response meetings, evidence of significant and thoughtful revision, a self-evaluation, a blue tutor form, ethical integration of source material and correct APA citation including in-text citations and a references page, proofreading as assigned, and copies of any pages cited outside course materials. Revision beyond the final draft is permitted and may be required. All revisions must be accompanied by the graded draft. Revision grades, if higher, will replace initial grades, but revision does not guarantee a higher grade.
• SOC 204 Test #1 (outcomes 1, 2, 4, and 5; 15%): WR 121 rubric
  
• I-Search (outcomes 1, 2, and 4-6; 20%): assignment, I-Search rubric, Resume rubric
  
• SOC 204 Test #2 (outcomes 1, 2, and 4-6; 20%)
• Self-evaluations required for each assignment should discuss how you got the idea for the paper, how the drafting went, how you used feedback to revise, and what are you most proud and most concerned about this draft in light of the rubric.
  
• Final examination (all outcomes; 5%): Attendance at the final examination is an institutional requirement; rescheduling requires the dean's permission.
• Extra credit options:
  
• participate daily in whole-class discussions
• produce outstanding journal writing
  
• attend campus events and submit reflection in journal 1) summarizing the event and 2) analyzing it in light of SOC 204 concepts
  
• meet with a writing tutor more than the required three times
  

• Hacker Writer's Reference
  
• SOC 204 texts: Ferguson, Schwalbe, Wakatsuki-Houston and Houston
• Composition book
  
• Paper copies of any cited secondary material and extra copies of drafts 

• Keep copies of all your work until you receive your official course grade.
  
• Those who cannot treat others respectfully will be asked to leave. Repeated problems will result in disciplinary action.
  
• Statement on Academic Misconduct: Eastern Oregon University places a high value upon the integrity of its student scholars. Any student found guilty of an act of academic misconduct (including, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, or theft of an examination or supplies) may be subject to having his or her grade reduced in the course in question, being placed on program or suspended from the university, or being expelled from the university--or a combination of these.

• Collaboration means sharing work equally. Doing someone else's work or allowing someone to do yours is cheating. 
• Use MLA citation format: cite all summarized, paraphrased, and quoted information; quote special concepts and more than three words from the original; paraphrasing requires changing wording and sentence structure; your work should significantly exceed the quantity of citations and build new ideas upon them. 
• No work from another course may be used for credit in this one without prior permission from both instructors.

• If you have a documented disability or suspect that you have a learning problem and need accommodations, please contact the Disability Services Program in Loso Hall 234. Telephone: 962-3081.
