    The syllabus contains important dates and outlines the course schedule for the entire semester.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the syllabus is a document that provides students with important information about a course, including the dates of exams, assignments, and other important events throughout the semester. Additionally, the syllabus outlines the overall structure and schedule of the course, including topics to be covered and when they will be taught. Therefore, it is accurate to say that the syllabus contains important dates and outlines the course schedule for the entire semester.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Most students report needing at least ________ hours of work outside of class for every hour spent in class. We meet for approximately 2.5 hours per week, which means you should expect to spend at least ________ hours per week outside class time on this course (please answer with numerical value: 1, 2, 3, etc.).

    Correct Answer
    2
    5

    Most students report needing at least 2 hours of work outside of class for every hour spent in class. We meet for approximately 2.5 hours per week, which means you should expect to spend at least 5 hours per week outside class time on this course.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    There are no repercussions for coming to class late or not at all.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    According to UNR policy, there are no excused absences (see “Class Absences” in UNR’s course catalog). Attendance is particularly important in Core Writing courses because so much of the learning in these courses happens during in-class writing exercises, peer review, and discussion.

    Two late arrivals or departures will be considered an absence.

    Explanation
    The answer includes all examples of the course goals and Student Learning Outcomes. These examples demonstrate that students will be able to recognize, articulate, and respond to different rhetorical contexts, use multiple drafts and peer review to improve their texts, use reflection to examine personal experience, expertise, writing process, and sources to compose, and use generating, organizing, revising, and editing strategies that are appropriate to specific writing situations. These goals and outcomes emphasize the development of critical thinking, effective communication, and self-reflection skills in writing.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    I am allowed ________ absences. Every absence thereafter will result in a penalty to my course grade; after ________ absences, I will be failed from the course for excessive absences (write the answer as a numerical value: 1, 2, 3, etc.).

    Correct Answer
    6
    12
    Explanation
    The given answer of "6,12" suggests that the student is allowed a maximum of 6 absences. After the 6th absence, there will be a penalty to the student's course grade. If the student accumulates 12 absences, they will fail the course due to excessive absences.

    For the Writing Center Consultation, I must...

    • Make an appointment with the Writing & Speaking Center (Pennington building)

    • Register an account on the Writing & Speaking Center's website

    • Talk about my plans and understanding of Project 1

    • Let the consultant tell me what I should write

    • Bring a copy of the writing prompt

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Make an appointment with the Writing & Speaking Center (Pennington building)
    A. Register an account on the Writing & Speaking Center's website
    A. Talk about my plans and understanding of Project 1
    A. Bring a copy of the writing prompt
    Explanation
    For the consultations, all you need to discuss Project 1. You should address the prompt in general and discuss your potential plans in approaching the assignment. Please note that these are group consultations, and the Writing Center makes the groups of 5 max. All you have to do is sign up and come to the meeting prepared. These consultations are an hour in length and aid you in developing your writing habits. It’s all student-directive, so once you go in, they ask you what you are there to work on. They won’t make decisions for you as to what you “need” to work on or at what writing stage to start at.
