Course Description
English 2322, British Literature: Anglo-Saxon through 18th Century, is a survey of English literature from Anglo-Saxon times through the 18th Century.
- (Credit Hours: 3, Classroom Contact Hours per week: 3, Laboratory Contact Hours per week: 0)
- Sophomore literature courses are a study of literature in the context of historical and cultural perspectives.
- Students who plan to transfer should check with their transferring institution for literature requirements in their degree plans.
Course Objectives / Rationale
The goals of sophomore literature courses are
- To provide a working knowledge of the characteristics of various literary genres.
- To develop analytical skills and critical thinking through reading, discussion, and written assignments.
- To broaden a student’s intercultural reading experience.
- To deepen a student’s awareness of the universal human concerns that are the basis for literary works.
- To stimulate a greater appreciation of language as an artistic medium and of the aesthetic principles that shape literary works.
- To understand literature as an expression of human values within an historical and social context.

-
This class includes required virtual live class meetings on the days and times listed. Students must be able to attend virtual class meetings in real-time. Students will need a computer, laptop, or tablet, reliable internet access, and a mic or camera.
- The student mistakes convenience for easiness—in other words, they think that since the class is more convenient to their schedule, then it must be easier, or is somehow "less" of a class.
- The student refuses to take an active role in his/her learning. In online work, you're more responsible for finding answers and learning actively, rather than just being passively told everything you need to know by the professor.
- A student refuses to "be his or her own boss" and/or does not practice effective time management. Procrastination is the online student’s greatest enemy. With limited time to complete assignments, students really need to be attentive and manage their time wisely.
- The student does not access, read, and understand course content posted in the Blackboard learning management system. Online students have a tendency to blow-off course documents. This is not a wise move, for much communication between professor and student is accomplished though posted documents and announcements.
- Quizzes - 16%
- Midterm Exam - 16%
- Analysis Essays (2) - 50%
- Final Exam - 18%
- Writing assignments, including analytical essays and tests, will constitute at least two-thirds of the student’s final grade. There will be at least three graded assignments (tests and essays), including at least two analytical papers. The two or more analytical papers in the course must total a minimum of 2000 words. Professors will provide specific written guidelines for each analytical paper.
- The instructor may count other types of class activities which might affect a student’s final grade. Activities might include quizzes, readings, dramatizations, journal writing, brief literary writing exercises, oral book readings, reports on authors, or other activities.
- The instructor will provide in writing at the beginning of the semester more specific information about the requirements and grading system of the course.
- Assessments: reading quizzes, midterm exam, essays (x2), & final exam (essay format).
- Grades will be posted in Blackboard.
- Professor Shanafelt will assign a letter grade to each Literary Analysis Essay and provide comments.
- Students will not receive comments on the Midterm Exam or Final Exam, only letter grades.
- MLA essay document format requirements can be found at the following link: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_general_format.html ** Essay document formatting affects the score a paper receives. Follow the guidelines carefully.
- Extra Credit: Students have the opportunity to receive three additional (extra credit) quiz grades of 100. See the Extra Credit Assignments this syllabus for full details.
- Grading Scale: A = 90-100, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69, F = Below 60
- Grading Key: (A+ = 98, A = 95, A- = 92, 90 = 90, etc.)
- Analysis Essay I – 25%
- Analysis Essay I – 25%
- Final Exam (Essay) – 18%
- All papers must be turned in (uploaded) to the Blackboard assignment page in PDF format.
- All papers must be typed and properly formatted using MLA document formatting.
- Irrespective of the reason, any paper turned in after the official deadline will be counted late.
- No papers will be accepted via email.
- Students are allowed three absences. All absences count.
- Doctors’ notes are not accepted. Students get three absences for all purposes.
- Two tardies (more than 5 minutes late) will equal 1/2 absence
- Absences do not affect the due dates of quizzes, tests, assignments, revisions, and essays. Students will not be given "extra time" to complete work they missed. Students must submit their work via Blackboard on or before the due date irrespective of absences.
- Course content will not be repeated; a student not in class for any reason is responsible for missed content.
- The student is responsible for communicating with their Professor Shanafelt during the closure and completing any assignments or other activities designated by their professor.
- Students who are absent on the day of a quiz, due date, or in-class activity will receive a zero for that quiz or assignment. There is no way to make up missed quizzes.
- Students must be visible on video and engaged during the entire class period to be counted present.
- Essays - There will be a letter grade deduction for every calendar day an essay is late. If a student is absent on the day an essay is due, he/she still needs to upload the essay to Blackboard. If an essay is uploaded before the due date and time, there is no penalty. Otherwise, the essay is late.
- Assignments - Students who are absent on the day of a quiz or in-class activity will receive a zero for that quiz or activity. There is no way to make up missed quizzes. Students who do not take a Blackboard quiz before it is due will receive a zero for that quiz. No late quizzes will be accepted.Withdrawal Policy
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the rolls should they decide to withdraw from the class. Professor Shanafelt does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is recorded before the Final Withdrawal Date. The Final Withdrawal Date for this semester is 19 Nov 2020 (Th). The student is also strongly encouraged to keep any paperwork in case a problem arises.
- Census Date: The last day to drop or withdraw without a grade or "W": 9 Sep 2020 (Wed)
- Withdrawal Date: The last day to withdraw from the Fall 2020 semester with a "W": 19 Nov 2020 (Th)
- A grade of zero on four or more quizzes.
- Failure to take the Midterm Exam at the assigned date and time.
- A grade of zero on any essay
- Failure to submit any essay within five days of its due date
- Failure to submit the Final Exam before its due date.
- Prior to the end of the semester in which the "I" is to be awarded, the student must meet with the instructor to determine the assignments and exams that must be completed prior to the deadline date. This meeting can occur virtually or in person. The instructor should complete the Report of Incomplete Grade form.
- The faculty member will complete the form, including all requirements to complete the course and the due date, sign (by typing in name) and then email it to the student. The student will then complete his/her section, sign (by typing in name), and return the completed form to the faculty member to complete the agreement. A copy of the fully completed form can then be emailed by the faculty member to the student and the department chair for each grade of Incomplete that the faculty member submits at the end of the semester.
- The student must complete all remaining work by the date specified on the form above. This date is determined by the instructor in collaboration with the student, but it may not be later than the final withdrawal deadline in the subsequent long semester.
- Students will retain access to the course Blackboard page through the subsequent semester in order to submit work and complete the course. Students will be able to log on to Blackboard and have access to the course section materials, assignments, and grades from the course and semester in which the Incomplete was awarded.
- When the student completes the required work by the Incomplete deadline, the instructor will submit an electronic Grade Change Form to change the student’s performance grade from an "I" to the earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
- If an Incomplete is not resolved by the deadline, the grade automatically converts to an "F." Approval to carry an Incomplete for longer than the following semester or session deadline is not frequently granted."

Grading Rubric
Grading Rubric
A major portion of your grade is based on writing assignments. Consult the following rubric for grading details.
A
For a paper to receive an A, it must have a clearly defined main idea, which is thoughtfully and thoroughly developed with sufficient evidence and plenty of scholarly analysis. Logical development and clear, precise phrasing must be evident. Superior understanding of the subject matter must be apparent. The assignment’s length and source requirements must be satisfied. An A paper must be turned in on-time and as required (i.e. a PDF document submitted to the essay’s Blackboard assignment page). An A paper must adhere to the required MLA document format found on the Owl at Purdue website under the heading “MLA General Format.” An A paper must be almost completely free of errors in spelling and punctuation.
** An A paper must be almost completely free of format, grammar, and MLA documentation errors. **
Style - Sentences in an A essay should be correctly constructed with no major grammatical or mechanical errors (such as sentence fragments, run-on sentences, or lack of agreement between subjects and verbs). An A paper must be formatted with the required font type, font size, margin width, character spacing, line spacing, alignment, etc. as defined by the Owl at Purdue “MLA General Format” and the “Shanafelt Research & Writing Guide.”
Structure - An A paper should open with an imaginative title and an effective hook. The introductory paragraph should lead up to a strong thesis statement as its last sentence. Content paragraph structures should approximate the following pattern: TS, (EV-AN-AN), (EV-AN-AN), (EV-AN-AN). In other words, each paragraph should contain at least three articles of evidence with ample scholarly analysis supporting the topic sentence. The A paper closes with a thoughtful summation of what the essay has proven and often builds to a general reflection which connects its main idea to our world exposing some larger, important, and perhaps overlooked truth about life. Key: TS = topic sentence, EV = evidence, AN = analysis
Content - For a paper to receive an A, it must be on-topic. Its assertions, analysis, evidence, and main idea must directly respond to one of the prompts listed in the essay assignment or to an instructor-approved topic determined well in advance. Its arguments must be well supported with ample textual evidence and peer-reviewed source data. Each article of evidence must be developed and supported with scholarly analysis appropriate to the level of this college course. The argument an A paper makes should be convincing, interesting, and somewhat original. If the paper concludes with a general reflection, that reflection should be a direct result of the essay's rhetorical inertia without obvious breaks in logic (i.e. free from non sequiturs and broken links). An A essay must answer the question "How do the elements of literature create meaning in this piece?” not “What happens in this story?”
Documentation - An A paper must be almost completely free of MLA paper format and documentation errors, which includes the spacing and alignment of the "Works Cited" page. All sources must be appropriate, reliable, at least college-level, and scholarly in nature. An A paper’s peer-reviewed journal article sources must be cited from either JSTOR or Academic Search Complete and accessed though our college’s library.
* Marked Letter Grades: (A+ = 98, A= 95, A- = 92, 90 = 90)
B
In the B paper, the main idea must be developed with some real depth. Ordinarily, a B paper will be completely free of major grammatical errors, and it will show a superior level of thought and expression. The B paper must be relatively free of errors in spelling and punctuation. A small number format, grammar, and MLA documentation errors may be present. (A+ = 88, A= 85, A- = 82, 80 = 80)
C
The C paper is one that lacks brilliance but is, at least, logical in the way it develops its main idea. Its phrasing may not be high-level, but it must be reasonably clear and accurate. The C paper must be relatively free of major grammatical errors. It must also be relatively free of errors in spelling and punctuation. A significant number format, grammar, and MLA documentation errors may be present. (A+ = 78, A= 75, A- = 72, 70 = 70)
D
The D paper indicates below average work. Such a paper usually has no clearly stated main idea, contains inadequately developed paragraphs, abounds with grammatical and mechanical errors, and/or reveals a serious lack of understanding of the subject matter. A significant number of format and MLA documentation errors are likely present. (A+ = 68, A= 65, A- = 62, 60 = 60) x
F
The F paper reflects a complete lack of ability to state or develop a main idea in most instances. This paper may also reveal a total lack of comprehension, as well as major errors in grammar, sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, diction, paper format, and MLA documentation. (0%-60%)
** This rubric is intended to be general in nature. The scoring of each assignment may vary. **
Extra Credit
Extra Credit
Each of the following assignments is worth one quiz grade. Successful completion of the assignment will earn you a 100 in the grade book. You may complete all or none of the assignments as you please, but all extra credit must be completed before the due date. No exceptions!!
Due Date: Tuesday, 19 Nov 2020 @ 12:00 pm (NOON)
- Visit the museum of your choice virtually. Take a screenshot of you visiting the museum as proof. Show me something interesting in the screenshot (i.e. not the museum entryway). For example, here is a link to the the Sistine Chapel virtual tour at the Vatican: http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/collezioni/musei/cappella-sistina/tour-virtuale.html. Visit the following site for ideas regarding which museums offer virtual tours: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/a31784720/best-virtual-tours/
- Select a piece of art that has one or more people in it. Replicate that piece of art with you as the subject(s). You may use more than one person in your own “art,” but you will find that the more people you have, the harder it is to replicate the original. You will present the replication in the form of a PDF file which includes the original art and your recreation side-by-side. You may use computer imaging software such as Photoshop if you have the expertise to do so. Note: If you use a computer, you may NOT copy anything from the original art except perhaps the background; you may NOT copy anything about the people themselves in the piece of art. In addition, your entire head must be in the replication, with enough of your face visible that we can tell who it is! You may not use a computer to alter anything about your face or body! You must also turn in a color picture of the original piece of art (same size as replication).
- Write an original sonnet. Your sonnet must be fourteen lines long, must be written in iambic pentameter, and must be written to follow the traditional Shakespearian rhyme scheme: A-B-A-B C-D-C-D E-F-E-F G-G. You should include a rhetorical shift at the beginning of the couplet (last two lines). Your sonnet must make sense—no gibberish or arbitrary words used to fit the meter—but the subject matter of your sonnet is entirely open to your own imagination. Here are some more guidelines to help you on your way.
-
Wild Card - Attend a virtual literary event. The event must be literary in nature.
* Students may substitute this assignment for one of the three above. However, no student may receive credit for more than three extra credit assignments.
How to Submit:
- Submit your PDF or JPG files via Blackboard before Tuesday, 19 Nov 2020 @ 12:00 pm (NOON)
- In the Blackboard Extra Credit assignment folder, click on the title of the appropriate extra credit assignment and submit PDF or JPG files which prove completion.
- Only PDF or JPG files will be accepted.
- No emailed documents will be accepted.
