are available, on- line. You should study them, thoroughly, before
coming to class. These will be further discussed in class.

Reading summaries
Your course
grade is based on written summaries of the readings. Each summary should
indicate the thesis of the reading and details about the major points
covered therein. Outlines are NOT acceptable. Generally, summaries should
run no longer than 5 pages per chapter read (typed/word processed, 1 inch
margins and top & bottom, double spaced, 12 point font).
Extra Credit
You may
earn up to 50 points (5 @ 10 points each) extra credit by completing a
reading summary of passages listed in the supplementary reading list at
the end of this document. Each summary must treat a separate topic/person/theory/reading.
Term Paper
10 page term
paper. First draft worth 1/2 of the total due no later than 7 days before
final paper is turned in. Papers must be documented (MLA or APA) and must
depend more on printed than web-based sources. Paper topics [select one]:
(1) Make scholarly argument against Hikins' claim that post-modernism no
longer dominates 21st century thinking/life; (2) Propose a 7th canon of
rhetoric; (3) Make scholarly argument against one of Hikins' three dimensions
of 21st century rhetoric (p. 98-100); (4) Propose the inclusion of a rhetorician
not included in our course by reviewing their concept of rhetoric.
Special Procedures
- I
will answer
questions, via phone or email about course content ANYTIME between the
hours of 8am-9pm [CT] though our dinner time is usually between 5-7,
during which I would prefer to be left alone. I will answer your electronic
mail a.s.a.p.
- Our textbooks
provide extensive bibliographic resources. Use them.
- Familiarize
yourself with the Index to Journals in Comunication Studies Through
1995, edited by Ronald J. Matlon and Sylvia P. Ortiz. It is a standard
bibliographic source for research in communication studies.
- Familiarize
yourself with using COMSERVE and its COMINDEX, available on CD ROM.That
service provides bibliographic sources for materials since 1990 and
for journals not indexed in Matlon & Ortiz.
- Always
locate and study printed sources prior to resorting to web materials.
- Students
with certified learning disabilities: Make arrangements with me, immediately.
- Plagiarism
will not be tolerated. Do not borrow from, or share materials with,
others. Do your own work. Cite sources fully and accurately.
Otherwise, failure and referral to university authorities loom.
- Re-write
your summaries and papers whenever possible. Avoid turning in early
drafts. Your work should be the result of extensive writing, re-writing,
checking, and re-checking.
- Copy
and back-up your computer work every 10 minutes or so. Do NOT depend
on one storage location/modality. "My computer ate it" will
NOT suffice for excuse.
