Each poem represents 7% of your grade. (You will write many more than five poems, but you will choose the best / your favorite ones to share and submit.) As homework and in class as well, you will keep a poetry journal, which is worth 35% of your grade. At home, you will write 10 minutes a day in your journal. That totals 70 minutes a week, so Carey might assign reading or memorization sometimes for an additional 20 minutes = 90 minutes per week You will also collect poems that are meaningful to you in the journal. You can collect them from our class work, or from anywhere outside. There will be a final exam given in class on January 29. It will test students’ understanding of the ideas and analyses discussed in the course. 5 poems X 7 points = 35% Poetry journal = 35% Final exam = 30% Students who do not come to classes will lose points on their final grade. 3 missed classes = minus 10%, 4 missed classes = minus 20%, 5 missed classes = you cannot pass the course. If you sleep in class it doesn’t count as participation, and you will be considered absent. If you miss a class due to illness, please talk to the teacher as soon as possible and bring a doctor's note to the next class, and be prepared to do a makeup assignment.
Study Consultation (Office Hours)	Study Consultation (Office Hours) : Office Hours: Anytime I’m in my office, or feel free to make an appointment with me. Contacting / Emailing Carey: If you would like to email Carey, please ONLY use my gmail address (careybenom (at) gmail.com). Please write “CWP ” or “Creative Writing: Poetry” as the subject of your email. Suggestion for success (Specific) : Suggestions for Success (specific) If you want to succeed, you need to *care about* our class. Here are some specific suggestions: Don't miss class. Keep up with the homework. Keep up with the syllabus. More suggestions: Keep your mind open. Engage with the material. Express yourself, the best you can. Don't be scared about whether your grammar or pronunciation is “good enough”. Just keep expressing yourself in English. It’s very lucky to be a student! (And I am lucky to be your teacher!) Let's make the most of our chance. Don't allow yourself to miss valuable opportunities because of shyness or laziness. Relax and enjoy yourself. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it, so work hard but happily! Even more suggestions: After a good night’s sleep, on the morning of our class, meditate, exercise, and eat a healthy breakfast with protein (and a healthy lunch as well for afternoon classes). Then, be in class on time and ready to participate. If you are sleepy, drink some coffee or tea so you have the mental energy to fully participate in class. :
