English 14 is a survey of American literature that begins with the Native American oral narrative and European exploration tales of the pre-Contact era, and extends to 1860, including Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. You will read prose and poetry that, at various turns, will be dense, humorous, frustrating, uplifting, historical, enlightening, sensual, horrifying, and without doubt, lengthy. Your writing assignments will be short but frequent (more on this below). As a survey course, the assigned readings cannot be anything near comprehensive; however, we will address the major themes, cultural issues, literary developments, and genres towards your understanding of the basic cultural, intellectual, and artistic trends of the period covered. One of the informal objectives of this course is to raise interest and curiosity about this era and its literature, with the hope that you may seek more of it on your own or in further coursework. Also, the course is half of a two part series, the second semester of which (English 15) covers literature through the contemporary period.

K. Douglass ENG 14 – F16 Student Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to 1) Identify distinctive features of American literature from contact period to civil war including major

writers, literary works, movements, trends, and genres. 2) Analyze and interpret features distinctive of the American tradition or that mark them as

characteristic of or unique in the period in which they were written. 3) Explain how this literature both reflects and shapes the intellectual and cultural history of the United

States during this period with an awareness of how differences of culture, gender, and other social markers may shape a writer’s interactions with this history.

4) Employ methods of critical literary analysis to read and interpret American literature. 5) Effectively communicate analytical arguments and comprehension of course content through

responses to, interpretations of, and arguments about American literature in essays, written exams, class discussion, and other methods of evaluation using appropriate citation form.

K. Douglass ENG 14 – F16 Class Participation: This grade will be the average of all in-class group activities and a grade assigned daily based on your participation in the class. You and I together are responsible for the success of your learning environment. This class will engage in a lot of cooperative and collaborative learning through discussion, writing projects, presentations, and other activities (there will be mini-lectures during which you will be expected to take notes for use in your Study Guides and exam preparation, but the rest of the time, you should be actively participating in class discussion). The most basic principle for your success is that you need to come to every class, on time, and participate in discussion every time we meet. Think critically about the readings before you arrive – take notes in the margin of your book, ask questions of the texts and bring those questions and ideas to class for discussion. Basically, showing up for class gets you a “D”. Every time you contribute thoughtfully to class discussion, you participation grade for the day goes up a letter grade. If part of class is spent writing or in group work, the “starting value” for that day is higher. Your first formal assignment (a diagnostic), all in-class writing, and any quizzes also contribute to this grade. In-class work and quizzes missed cannot be made up or excused except with a doctor’s notice or legal summons. ALL WRITING ASSIGNMENTS: You should not consult ANY sources other than what I have assigned in class to assist you in writing the papers, study guides, or discussion presentation. In all of the reading and writing for this class, the ideas you present – oral and written – should be exclusively and completely your own. You MAY NOT consult sparknotes, cliff notes, about.com, Wikipedia, or any other source to help you understand and interpret the literature you are reading. The job of asking and answering interpretive questions – or being stuck – is the work of this class. NO CONSULTATION OF OUTSIDE READINGS IS ALLOWED. The single and very narrow exception to this is any reading you feel you need to do to brush up on a historical event that is referenced in the works that you do not recall or have not learned about; however, the historical essays in the Heath can be very helpful in this regard. Also, you will always submit two copies, in two forms, for your papers. You will turn in a paper copy that I will grade (if you are absent the day something is due, you must email it as a formatted doc, docx, pdf, or rtf file). You will also submit an electronic copy to turnitin.com to prevent plagiarism. Book Club Paper: As noted in the course description, there are many texts of interest that this course cannot adequately cover in 16 weeks. This is the nature of a survey course. This paper gives you the chance to choose one full-length novel we won't be reading as a class and read it on your own. You will write a short paper in response to this reading. Your final recorded grade on this assignment will be 50% of the original grade and 50% of the revision.

K. Douglass ENG 14 – F16 Short papers (1200 word minimum): These are slightly longer than study guides and are traditional single-focused papers with an analytical thesis that should be clearly stated at the end of the opening paragraph. Study Guides: The study guides will be short writing assignments that ask you to think and write critically in response to specific questions about the reading. In the study guides, you will practice literary analysis, close reading of texts, and tease out important themes or issues central (or nearly central) to the work itself. These guides have two basic functions: 1.) To assist and guide you in your practice of analysis and interpretation of the literature we will discuss; and 2.) As the name suggests, to work as a guide that you can refer to for further study in preparation for your two major exams in this course. Note that you are only required to turn in three of the four Study Guides. Use this freedom to pace yourself, to time your writing with your Book Club Paper or other courses, OR (and this is what I recommend!) do all four and the lowest grade will be dropped. Mid-Term and Final Exams: More information on the content of these exams will be provided later. But, both will be taken in class with blue books. Probably they will both include some combination of short answer reading identification questions and essay question(s). There are no opportunities for make-up exams for the mid-term or final barring some verifiable emergency. Discussion Presentation: Everyone will sign up to do a discussion presentation on a single work (or for longer works, portion of the work). In this five-minute presentation, you will present an argument, some interpretive viewpoint (like a thesis) that you will use text evidence to support. You should provide a handout to everyone that will help us follow your argument. Your presentation should end with a discussion question that pushes the class to consider further the ideas you have presented, or that encourages us to take your ideas in a new direction. A few rules: You cannot present any biography of the author unless it is relevant to your analysis, and do not feel like you have to answer every aspect of every idea with your presentation. Pick one relatively narrow idea, and analyze and present it in detail. A Word on the Reading Assignments: The reading is typically heavier than your reading load for your composition classes was. Depending on what sort of reading you are more comfortable with (poetry, religious sermon, historical or philosophical essay, travel writing, novel (sentimental, epistolary, historical, etc.), short story, gothic or detective fiction) different portions of the semester's reading will be easier or harder than other sections. When you are frustrated or challenged by the reading, take those frustrations to your reading journal, or your email inbox (in emails to me or other classmates) and then bring them to class. Often you won't be alone, and your confusions can be the start of productive and insightful discussions.

K. Douglass ENG 14 – F16 How your grades are determined: A rubric is a description of certain skills that you are expected to master, and your grade is determined by proficiency in those skills. They may be knowledge based skills (how well you retain, interpret, analyze what you have learned about literature) or literacy skills (how well you communicate and defend your ideas clearly, thoughtfully, originally, with organization, thesis if required, etc.) Your assignments will be graded using rubrics. You should familiarize yourself with these expectations, and the basic grading scale (A, B, C, D, F on 100% system). I will provide you with a grade rubric for each assignment. A Note on Success in This Course: Obviously class attendance, keeping up with all assignments and seeking instructor assistance when you are having trouble are all basic keys toward success. But further, as much as possible, try to inhabit this literature. By that, I mean that you should approach it as an adventure, an exploration; you are not always going to find easily what you seek, but often you will. As with any journey, seek guidance when you are feeling lost. A Few Notes on Citizenry in this Course: Though the pre-requisite for this class is eligibility for 1A, depending on your comfort level with reading and writing, some students who have not taken English 1A and 1B may have difficulty; this class has an advisory level of ENG 1B and begins with the premise that you can analyze and think critically about college level texts (this means offering analysis and argument, NOT plot summary) and that you can develop that analysis in your writing and through class discussion. All students, but especially those who have not taken English 1A & 1B, or who may have struggled to pass those courses, may want to enroll in one of the English courses that offer access to the WRC (ILA 800 or ENG 885). If this interests you, please see me for information. This also gives you access to me when I am in the WRC (Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30-12:30).

Course Requirements and Policies: Late Papers and Study Guides: Your papers are due on the day listed on the syllabus. They should be submitted in class. Anyone who needs to take an extra couple hours to finish up a paper can enjoy the “grace period” of the hours after class – papers are absolutely due by midnight of the day on the syllabus via email as a formatted attachment (doc, docx, pdf, rtf only). Students can take extensions without comment, but every 24 hours that a paper is late, 10% will be deducted from the final earned grade. The 24 hours starts and stops at midnight each day. So if a paper is due on a Monday and the student submits it via email to my inbox after midnight on Tuesday, there is a 10% deduction; this applies whether the extension was intended, or because of a forgotten submission, because the first version was in the wrong file format, because of an email or technological error or any other reason. There will be no exceptions to this barring verifiable emergencies.


Attendance: Attendance is mandatory and multiple absences will affect your grade as you will not be here to earn class participation points. The English Department policy on attendance cautions that students should not miss more than two class sessions. In my class, you can miss three times without it affecting your class participation grade except for any missed assignments. Tardiness will be dealt with in the same way as absences; any work missed cannot be made up and will lower your participation grade. If your absences are multiple and consecutive and indicate that you may have disappeared from class, I may drop you. If you ever have any questions about your attendance or enrollment status, just contact me. Academic Honesty/Plagiarism: Plagiarism, academic dishonesty, and cheating are all taken very seriously in this course. To plagiarize means to represent someone else's work as your own - intentionally or accidentally. If you plagiarize any paper, study guide or exam in this course, you will likely fail this class. There are no second chances in this matter -- all ideas, phrases, quotes, or work represented as your own when it is not will result in a failing grade. You may not use any supplementary study “aids” to help you with your analysis such as Cliff’s Notes or Spark Notes or any other materials, print or online. Consulting such summaries of other people’s ideas will be treated as academic dishonesty. Please be very clear about this. Students who plagiarize will receive a zero for the assignment with no opportunity to make it up, and have their offense submitted to the Dean of Students for appropriate action.

Paper Format Requirements: All papers or study guides must meet the following format: 1) Times or Times New Roman 12 point font, 2) one inch margins all the way around, 3) MLA format for page layout and any source reference. If you are not sure about how to format any of these requirements, see me before an assignment is due or the computer or Writing Center lab assistants can help you. Email/Web Participation: You need to use and check your email regularly for this class. In addition to my office hours I will communicate with you over email about your writing, reading assignments, questions, etc. All paper and study guide assignments will be posted on the course website once they have been assigned in class so that you always have access to your assignments. Also, in the event of an emergency or routine absence a student may email assignments due. I also use twitter to share class related or college success related items. You can follow me @ProfKDouglass if you want to (I won’t follow you back to preserve your student-life freedom J) but you don’t have to. My twitter feed is connected to and visible on the course website, so you can also just check their periodically for tweets of interest.

DRC Statement: If you have a physical or learning disability that may deter your learning in this course, please share your DRC paperwork with me so that I may make whatever accommodations I can to help you excel in this course. You may also visit Disabled Resource Center or call 222-8060. If you are struggling and do not know why, the DRC may be able to provide you with resources to help you succeed. Other Campus Programs: I am involved in both the Honors and the LGBT Allies Programs, and can answer information regarding both of these. If you have any questions about any campus clubs or programs, please ask! If I don’t know, I will try to direct you to someone who can. Other Miscellaneous policies: v TURN OFF OR MUTE ALL CELL PHONES & OTHER BEEPING PARAPHERNALIA BEFORE

ENTERING CLASS. Students who are texting in class will be called out and/or it will simply quietly be noted and deducted from your class participation grade. If you have a child or dependent adult you have to be available for, your phone may be out in vibrate mode – please note this in your student information email; otherwise, it should not be visible. Class should be a scholarly time away from distraction, so we can all inhabit our own personal “Walden”-like space as we explore and consider American Literature. Otherwise, see Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”

v If you must drop this course, it is your responsibility to officially drop the class. v Instructor may make changes to syllabus as long as they're shared with the class. v DON’T DISAPPEAR! If you have concerns about anything – your written work, class

activities, absences, plagiarism, or anything else related to class, please come to my office hours, call me, or email me – never assume anything until you’ve heard it for sure from me.
