I was there. DW grades are based on in-class work, not attendance. So if your grade sheet shows an M for missing, and we made a mistake, then you can show us your graded work for that day. I e-mailed my assignment. Assignments are due in class, often with stapled grade sheets. So dont ever e-mail homework. Deadlines are met in class in person, not on e-mail.

COURSE OVERVIEW: VALUE CHECK This course aspires to be valuable to you in three important ways: it can help you improve your writing, it can help you to pursue your dream job and it can help you to feel the power of being in the know. It is designed to get journalism majors off to a great start. It also serves education majors studying to become schoolteachers, agriculture students interested in communications careers and seniors looking for an interesting elective. Welcome, everyone! ONE WORD SAYS IT ALL You will quickly realize that you have entered a different world: The professors teaching style is different, especially when it comes to exams. Journalists writing style is different, everything from story structure to punctuation. The way journalists think, make news decisions, decide how to act in difficult situationstheyre all different. Journalism is one of the few occupations mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, and the First Amendment makes America ...

WHERE WE MEET ... HOME BASE

... ONLY FOR SMALL GROUPS SECTION 001/PRINT: CB 122

Classroom Building, Room 122

You can always come here for class: Its home base. SECTION 002/MAGAZINE: CB 207 After Exam No. 1 on certain Fridays marked SECTION 003/BROADCAST: CB 203 small groups on the syllabus schedule, we will SECTION 004/SPORTS: POT Room 09 use the rooms listed by section topic on the right. SECTION 005/MULTIMEDIA: LCLI 302

Q&A WITH THE PROF Im in the wrong section! Im in 001 Print and I want to be a sportswriter. May I switch to 004? No, dont worry. Why? Because it doesnt matter: When we have small group sessions, you can go listen to the sports speaker, no problem. If you want to do your Dream Job news article on sports, go for it, no problem. The 001 or 004 or whatever section number is just an administrative tool. Know your number, put it on all your assignments and exams, and youll be fine. I really want an A in the coursewhats your advice? Thats easy:

Never miss class Details matter!

Youll see detailed instructions in the syllabus and the homework guidelines: Sweat those details! Also, dont procrastinate and dont miss deadlines. GRADING: QUICK SKETCH Your final grade for the course will be determined by how many points you miss out of a possible 1,000. Here is the scale we will use for points: A, 1,000-900 B, 899-800 C, 799-700 D, 699-600 E, 599-0

Your final grade is based on points, not percentages. Until the end, when we can total all points, we will use a shorthand to calculate your grade: total points missed. A 100 exam score means zero points missed, a 95 means 5 points missed and so on. You can lose 100 points and still get an A as a final grade. But . . . LOSE 101 POINTS AND LOSE YOUR A You can lose points by missing class (20 points each), by doing incomplete Daily Workout assignments (20 points each), by missing exam questions (usually 2 points each), by not following homework guidelines, by missing deadlines for homework assignments (half credit) or by not completing homework assignments (one missing HW lowers your final grade by a letter grade: A to B, B to C, whatever).

You will take five exams (500 points), each worth 100 points, and you will do four major homework assignments (500 points) of varying complexity and points. One homework assignment is in four parts with four deadlines. The other three assignments can be completed in any order you wish. See the grade sheet and course schedule for deadlines. Here are the four major HW assignments, which are fully explained in a separate document: A Guide to Homework Success.
Opinion/In-the-Know Journals and Commentaries (100 points) Opinion/Blog With Illustrated Entries (150 points) News/Dream Job Article (150 points) News/Week-in-Review Newscast (100 points)

ATTENDANCE Absolutely mandatory. Excused absences require documentation. REQUIRED 1. Inside Reporting: A Practical Guide to the Craft of Journalism, Tim Harrower, McGraw-Hill, New York. Used first or second editions OK. (Third Edition, 2013). 2. Writing Baby, Editing Dog & You: A Friendly Place to Begin Improving Your Writing, Buck Ryan, Maestro Consulting, Lexington, Ky., 2008. PLEASE NOTE: Profits from the sale of Writing Baby this semester will go toward paying off a $10,000 donation to the Bill Billiter journalism scholarship fund for a top-notch high school student who has decided to major in journalism at UK. 3. A 1- or 1 -inch three-ring binder.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY You are expected to adhere to the university's policy on academic integrity. Fabrication, plagiarism, cheating and other violations of the code will not be tolerated in this course. When you are using other peoples ideas to make a point, you must give the source credit through proper attribution. Merely cutting and pasting Web site information into your assignment without attribution is wrong and a resulting charge of plagiarism can mean an E for your final grade. When the professor requests that you work quietly on a Daily Workout assignment, talking with a classmate and writing the same ideas for an answer is cheating. Other times, the professor may ask you to work together in a team, such as during a First Amendment decision-making session. That is not cheating. Please ask if you have any questions about what constitutes cheating, plagiarism or other violations. DW Fraud Alert: Dont even think about submitting a DW for another classmate. You both run the risk of flunking. For details on plagiarism, see Part II of Student Rights and Responsibilities (6.3.1; online at http://www.uky.edu/StudentAffairs/Code/part2.html). GRADING: THE NITTY-GRITTY Always know where you stand grade-wise by updating your grade sheet after every exam and after receiving graded assignments. Always pick up your graded work, log your scores and keep a file.

Q&A ON EXAMS What if I miss an exam? If you miss an exam due to an emergency, you must take the exam the following class period. So if the exam was on Monday, you must take the exam during Wednesdays class, when you will bring a doctors excuse or other documentation. After that, unless there are special circumstances, its too late and youll receive a zero. Q&A ON LATE OR MISSING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS What if my assignment is late? Assignments are due during class. If you miss a deadline, you will lose half credit. If late work is not turned in the following class session, the assignment drops to zero points. For example, if an assignment worth 100 points is due on a Wednesday but is turned in on Friday of the same week, the maximum number of points possible is 50. If that late assignment is turned in Monday, it will be worth zero points. What if I dont complete a HW assignment? If you do not complete one of the four major HW assignments, your final grade will be lowered by at least one letter grade (for example, A>B). If you do not complete two HW assignments, then two letter grades (A>C) and so on. Q&A ON DWs Grades are based on work, not attendance, right? Daily Workouts are assignments done or due inclass. You do not receive points for attendance. You will usually begin class sessions with a Daily Workout assignment, and when requested you must drop off your DW in class or youll lose points. What if I miss class? If you miss class without an excused absence or if your DW is wrong or incomplete, you will lose up to 20 points. What if I come to class but do not pick up my graded work? If you do not pick up your graded DWs, you will lose points as being missing (minus 20 points). What is the proper format for a DW? Mark your section number (001, 002, 003, 004 or 005) in the upper-left corner above the DW number and your name over the date in the upper-right corner. Like so: 001 DW#3 Buck McIntosh 8-27-12

How can I keep from losing DW points? First, come to class! Second, be sure you understand the question(s) and answer all parts (a, b and c, for example) and be sure to use the proper header format. Third, dont leave a class without submitting your assignment. It will be marked as missing!

Q&A ON FRIDAY SMALL GROUP SECTIONS

How do the Friday sections work exactly? On most Fridays well meet in joint session (first few weeks, for example), and on other Fridays you will see small groups listed in the Schedule of Assignments. That means we will have speakers meeting in the various classrooms, as listed in the syllabus. Well list and talk about the speakers in class beforehand, so youll know who is speaking where. What about the Freaky Friday factor? If youre confused or a speaker cancels at the last minute, you can always come back to CB 122. How do I get credit? On small-group Fridays, your Daily Workout will list the most memorable lines from your speaker. You must turn in your DW to your speaker to receive full credit. Always use the same 00_ number in your DW header regardless of the room you attend. Q&A ON EXTRA CREDIT How does it work? You may do extra credit to make up for lost points. You may earn 20 to 30 points in the first half of the semester by the deadline and no more than 50 points total for the entire semester by a second deadline: See Schedule of Assignments and grade sheet for details. What if I miss class, is there extra credit? If you oversleep or miss class without an excused absence, you may do extra credit to make up the missed Daily Workout points. What if I attend class but mess up my Daily Workout? Yes, you may do extra credit to make up for lost DW points. Can I do extra credit to make up for lost points on exams or homework assignments? Yes, extra credit applies there as well. What can I do for extra credit? You can summarize a News University online course (see www.newsu.org and sign upits free); publish articles, photos or editorial cartoons in the Kentucky Kernel; a WRFL or WUKY-FM broadcast; engage in iStorytelling by downloading a $1.99 app, ReelDirector, on your iPhone and learn how to create YouTube clips of news coverage; cover a live news event on TV, write the lead and compare your work with a professionals; open a Twitter account and explain lessons learned; create a Google me profile and join LinkedIn to advance your job prospects, then write about lessons learned; or attend campus lectures or events listed on the syllabus or discussed in class and report on what you heard. 2 CLIP RULE: If you publish a news or opinion article, you must turn it in to the professor in class on the day its published or the next class session. Hand the prof a tearsheet (tear the entire page from the publication); a tearsheet is also called a clip. Later you will turn in a second clip with the full homework assignment when its due. Do I need approval? Unless an extra-credit assignment is discussed as an option in class, you must arrange to do your extra-credit assignment before you turn it in. A good approach is to get approval in class from the professor. Whats the format for extra credit? Its always the same: one-page typed (12-point, doublespaced) summary of the three most valuable lessons you learned from the experience. Use the DW format and add Extra Credit for DW#7 (or whatever number) to the heading. Be sure to indicate which DW# you are covering and include attachments that provide background for your

three lessons learned. If, for example, you publish an extra Kernel article, you would staple the tearsheet behind the typed write-up. What is the deadline for extra credit? Please complete the extra-credit assignment and turn it in as soon as possible. Dont miss your deadlines for first-half and second-half extra credit!
