for you, what are the most important course learning outcomes?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-21 22:42:43 UTC

i believe the most vital learning outcome from this course is the writing process. as writers, it is important to know the lengthy process of what it takes to even write a paper- let alone provide feedback on your peers writing projects.

from your outline to your final draft, the writing process is about breaking down a big project to even little ones. allowing your essays to flow smoothly in a way that makes sense to your topic (angle).

which assignments or aspects of the course are you most curious about?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-21 23:13:35 UTC

i'm most curious about writing project #2: proposal and annotated bibliography. i've heard of bibliographies in the past throughout elementary and middle school, but never knew what a proposal and annotated bibliography was.

what is my policy for artificial intelligence (AI) use?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-21 23:44:25 UTC

artificial intelligence is allowed to be used only with permission from professor emily in advanced. if permission is granted, students must credit advanced automated tools appropiately. failing to meet these following requirements will result in the student being asked to conference with professor emily and negotiate a revision plan. however, if ai is used without permission than the assignment will not be graded!

summarize my "trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and antiracist classroom policy" in your own words. why do you think I have a policy like this?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-21 23:47:25 UTC

students are not required to disclose trauma in this course, but can do so in writing if they feel comfortable. the course content may trigger emotions related to trauma, so self-care is encouraged. students should be open to feedback and criticism from others, but should avoid sharing works they are not ready to subject to public scrutiny or that are offensive. any work deemed racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., will require a revision plan, and if not revised, may receive a zero grade. it is important to hold oneself and others accountable for problematic works in a trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and antiracist space. professor hoover includes this policy to ensure the safety of oneself and others that might find various topics triggering. this allows to keep a positive classroom environment and safe space.

which campus resource(s) is/are most important to you?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-21 23:59:20 UTC

i think the most important campus resource to me is the wellness center. i feel as college students, we don't always express our feelings when it comes to the ups and downs throughout or life and more specifically the academic school year. college is not always easy, but it's crucial to know who's here to help you during difficult times. an example, scheduling an appointment for counseling can help you express and understand your feelings even more. by doing this you're allowing these counselors to help you be the best version of yourself.

what is my late work policy? how many extensions are students allowed?

xbbyzz_ — 2025-01-22 00:09:39 UTC

students have 48 hours after the initial deadline to submit late work. no late work will be accepted after that time, missing work will earn a zero, unless you've made prior arrangements with professor emily.

students are allowed as many extensions as they want, but you must contact professor emily 24 hours in advanced before said assignment is due.
