Prerequisites: ENGL 1101: English Composition I To enroll in English 1101, students must have either exempted English 1101 or passed it with a “D” or better. To graduate, however, students must have earned a grade of “C” in English 1101 and have a combined average grade of “C” in English 1101 and 1102. Students therefore are strongly advised not to enroll in English 1102 until they have received a “C” in English 1101.

I am committed to facilitating an environment where students feel they belong and are valued. You are an important part of creating a welcoming, affirming environment, which means you should regard one another with respect and care, but also hold us accountable if you are experiencing discrimination, harassment, or other forms of exclusion. The policies and offices listed on the next page are important supports, but I am also willing to be an open ear if you have concerns or great ideas on how to make this course more inclusive and accessible.

Religious Observances - If religious observances interfere with class sessions, please discuss these concerns with me in order to plan ahead. I will continue to make every reasonable effort to help students avoid negative academic consequences when their religious obligations conflict with academic requirements.&nbsp; Preferred Name and Pronoun. If you do not identify with the name that is listed with the registrar's office, please notify me so that I may appropriately amend my records. In addition, if you prefer to go by a different pronoun, please inform me. Sexual Misconduct - I am responsible for creating a safe learning environment for students, and that includes a mandatory reporting responsibility if you share information regarding sexual misconduct/harassment, relationship violence, or information about a crime that may have occurred on campus with the University. In such cases, I will need to report information to the UGA Equal Opportunity Office (<a href="mailto:ugaeoo@uga.edu">ugaeoo@uga.edu</a> or 706-542-7912). Students who wish to speak to someone confidentially can contact the ASPIRE Clinic at 706-542-4486. Additionally, you can speak to a confidential and free advocate through Relationship &amp; Sexual Violence Prevention&nbsp;(RSVP) — at 706‑542‑SAFE&nbsp;(706-542-7233)

Because Connection is one of this course's core values, students will be put into groups during the second week of the semester. These groups will sit together, participate in small group activites together, and provide substantial feedback on each other's drafts. I encourage group members to get each other's contact information. You are all valuable resources for one another. We'll check in at mid-terms to see how all the groups are doing and if anyone needs to switch.

This is our 'ideal world' schedule. As in, if we lived in an ideal world this is all the things I'd like us to accomplish. However, we don't live an ideal world, so this schedule is subject to change.

Because writing skills develop slowly over time and because in-class activities are crucial to the discussion-based format of the class and its community-building mission, students’ regular attendance is important in First-year Writing. It should be emphasized that when students miss class, regardless of whether the absence is excused or not, it is the responsibility of the student to keep up with the course. Instructors are neither required nor expected to re-teach material covered in class to students who were absent. Students who contract a serious illness will only have those absences excused if the instructor receives notification of the illness from UGA’s office of Student Care and Outreach at the time of the illness. It is the responsibility of the student to have SCO send a message to their instructor verifying the serious nature of the illness. Beyond what is described above, the only other excused absences are those listed under UGA policy 4.06, jury duty, military service, and religious observances. Upon a student’s seventh un-excused absence (for classes that meet MWF) or upon the fifth absence (for MW and TTH classes), students will begin to incur grade penalties. Students incur no grade penalties for un-excused absences 1-6 (for classes that meet MWF) or un-excused absences 1-4 (for MW and TTH classes). For each unexcused absence in excess of six (for MWF classes) or in excess of four (for MW and TTH classes), three points will be deducted from the student’s final grade in the course.

Hey All, Welcome to ENGL 1102 or First Year Writing (although I know many of you aren't first year students). FYW is a class designed to teach fundemental principles of writing no matter the discipline. My teaching philosphy is based in three values: Care -- In this class, I want you to feel like you can be your authentic self and that you feel safe to take risks with your writing and your learning. I believe that care comes in many forms including caring for our own physical, mental, and emotional well being as well as supporting all members of our classroom community. Connection -- Writing is always a social act. I believe that part of learning to write is also learning to connect with others. In this class, we'll work to understand each other's goals and give feedback in support of those goals. Creativity -- I find that the most meaningful projects are the ones where students feel free to express themselves and what matters to them in their writing. I encourage you to take creative risks with each project. -Jensen

Academic Honesty Policy UGA Student Honor Code: “I will be academically honest in all of my academic work and will not tolerate academic dishonesty of others.” A Culture of Honesty, the University’s policy and procedures for handling cases of suspected dishonesty, can be found at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.uga.edu/ovpi">www.uga.edu/ovpi</a>. To make sure you're getting the most out of this class, I expect that each project is to be written by you and is original to this class. To give credit where it's due, all images used in Project 3 should be cited with an MLA works cited page. Consult me for information on how to do in-text citations.

Class Environment I aim to create an environment where you feel safer to take risks, share your challenges and victories, and express your ideas throughout the writing and learning processes we will be using this semester. When we are all in attendance and participating in the classroom, we are allies. The perceived risks of participating in and contributing to class will reward you and the classroom community.

You can submit your work any time during a due week from Sunday to Sunday. Submission Formats As per FYW policy, all journal and major project submissions must done on ELC using ELW. Late Policy There's a lot of flexibility with due weeks, but I also understand sometimes you need more time to complete your work. In these cases, communication is key. Send me an email before the missed deadline, and you and I will decide upon a reasonable extension based on your circumstances.
