What the heck is Editing and Desktop Publishing?<\/p>\n

Editing and Desktop Publishing meshes two intricately related disciplines and will prepare you for a work world where writers, editors, and designers are increasingly expected to be the same person.

      readings<\/strong>
      \nYou need to have read the assigned readings before coming to class. The schedule for readings can be accessed on the course schedule. The course schedule also provides links to additional readings for the day besides readings from your textbooks. Bring the book to class if we are reading from it.<\/p>\n

      attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Since we will be working collaboratively on many assignments, and since learning is a communal effort, your regular attendance is vital. If you miss more than six classes, you will receive an \u201cF\u201d for the course. And since some things come up unexpectedly, please remember you have six absences to account for these unexpected happenings.<\/p>\n

      late work<\/strong>
      \nHere is the deal: late work is not accepted. HOWEVER, you can turn in one task or homework or whatever one week late. Just let me know beforehand. And, if it\u2019s a partner project, only one of you needs to use the extension. **Quizzes can be made up if you have an excused absence on the day of the quiz.**<\/p>\n

      technology<\/strong>
      \nThe computers, the laptops, cell phones and iPads are allowed for taking notes and class discussion related searches. They are not for random surfing, texting, skyping, or tweeting no matter how uninterested you might be. So if you aren\u2019t using digital tech. for class, it\u2019ll result in an absence. iPhone X EXCEPTION \u2013 if an iPhone X rings or bleeps an incoming text does during class, you are exempt from the above rule for two occurrences as long as you allow us to use your iPhone X emoji thingy for five minutes.<\/p>\n

      email and professionalism<\/strong>
      \nThis is a course designed to prepare you for the professional world. Therefore, all correspondence with your professor should be done with professionalism in mind. \u201cProfessionalism\u201d means beginning and ending each email with some sort of greeting (such as \u201cHi, Professor.\u201d) and valediction (such as \u201cBest Wishes, Sally.\u201d). Also, if you send an attachment please provide information as to what you\u2019ve attached and what I\u2019m supposed to do with it. As such, any email sent with no text in the body and an attachment will not be read or responded to. ***I will probably not be as formal as you will be. Thanks, Daniel Schafer for this part.<\/em><\/p>\n

      academic honesty<\/strong>
      \nPlagiarism is not tolerated in any form. You will fail the course if you commit plagiarism knowingly or unknowingly. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another\u2019s words or ideas. In short, it\u2019s the theft of someone else\u2019s intellectual property and a serious violation of college policy and academic ethics. The easy availability of materials on the Internet makes it tempting to use other people\u2019s work (or incorporate it into your own) without asking permission or citing sources. However, you are responsible to give credit where credit is due. Please come to my office if you have any questions about citing sources.<\/p>\n

      As a member of the McDaniel College community, you are expected to abide by the Honor Code on all of your assignments.The McDaniel Honor Code encourages academic integrity among individuals and fosters accountability within the community as a whole. What does this mean? It means: a) the work you submit must be your own, and, b) if others are damaging the values of the community, you have a responsibility to speak up about it.<\/p>\n

      \nC- = 70-72%
      \nD+ = 68-69%
      \nD = \u00a0 60-67%
