In the complex & changing world of the twenty-first century, a liberal arts education is more relevant than ever.\u00a0 Whether your final destination is the corporate boardroom, a military jet, a pharmacy, a newspaper, a law firm, or any of the myriad of possibilities, employers value the agile mind fostered by the liberal arts.\u00a0 Your personal development of analytical thinking through a sustained contemplation of these texts will prove personally & professionally rewarding.<\/p>\n Learning Objectives<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Course Expectations & Policies:<\/strong><\/p>\n As an important part of Butler’s core curriculum, students of the First Year Seminar closely examine significant works that make an enduring contribution to our understanding of the human condition.\u00a0 The aim of this course is to have students think critically & write provocatively about the subject matter at hand as well as be able to relate it to larger issues & contexts.\u00a0 With that thought in mind, students must carefully prepare the readings before class to participate in discussions of the texts.\u00a0 More than (3) unexcused absences will result in the loss of a letter grade.\u00a0 Students who show up to class unprepared will not be given credit for that day\u2019s attendance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Special needs:<\/strong><\/p>\n It is the policy and practice of Butler University to make reasonable accommodations for students with properly documented disabilities. Written notification from Student Disability Services is required.\u00a0 If you are eligible to receive an accommodation and would like to request it for this course, please discuss it with me and allow one week advance notice.\u00a0 Otherwise, it is not guaranteed that the accommodation can be received on a timely basis.\u00a0 Students who have questions about Student Disability Services or who have, or think they may have, a disability (psychiatric, attentional, learning, vision, hearing, physical, medical, etc.) are invited to contact Student Disability Services for a confidential discussion in Jordan Hall 136 or by phone at extension 9308.<\/p>\n Plagiarism<\/strong>: One important task of CC 101\u00a0is for you to master integrating source material correctly & ethically into your own writing.\u00a0 You will have the opportunity to practice summarizing, paraphrasing, directly quoting sources & then integrating the material into your own essays.\u00a0 The research essay is especially assigned so that you will have occasion to generate an original thesis, support it with your own reasoning in addition to secondary sources.\u00a0 The task will be for you to differentiate your original ideas from these sources.\u00a0 Recording source material as though it is your original idea constitutes plagiarism\u2014whether intentional or not. All first-year seminar students\u00a0are\u00a0asked to take the “Plagiarism Tutorial” on the Library’s website as well as to complete the “Plagiarism Quiz” available on Blackboard.\u00a0\u00a0An essay plagiarized in part or in full will receive an F.\u00a0 Plagiarized work also places a student in jeopardy of failing the course.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Repeated incidents of Academic Dishonesty results in a student\u2019s suspension from the University.<\/strong>\u00a0 Students should also refer to\u00a0the\u00a0Butler University Student H&book<\/em>\u00a0(available online @\u00a0www.butler.edu<\/a>\u00a0Student Life tab) for a full discussion of student rights & responsibilities regarding \u201cAcademic Integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n Course Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n Please have the assignment prepared on the date listed.<\/p>\n Week One<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Two<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Week Three<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Four<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Five<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Six<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Week Seven<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Eight<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Nine<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Week Ten<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Eleven<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Twelve<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Thirteen<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Fourteen<\/strong><\/p>\n !!!!!!<\/strong>Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!<\/p>\n Week Fifteen<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Week Sixteen<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The Call of the Wild CC 101P Dr. Angela\u00a0 … Continue reading \n
