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 getjournalism 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 occupationsmentioned in the U.S. Constitution, and the First Amendment makes America ...

WHERE WE MEET ... HOME BASE ... ONLY FOR SMALL GROUPS

Classroom Building, Room 122 SECTION 001/PRINT: CB 122

You can always come here for class: Itshome base. SECTION 002/MAGAZINE: CB 207

After Exam No. 1 on certain Fridays marked

SECTION 003/BROADCAST: CB 203small groupson 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

1

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).


5/21

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.


6/21

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 DWsGrades are based on work, not attendance, right? Daily Workouts are assignments done or due in-

class. 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 Buck McIntosh

DW#3 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!

3

Q&A ON FRIDAY SMALL GROUP SECTIONS


7/21

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, double-

spaced) 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
http://www.newsu.org/http://www.newsu.org/


8/21

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!
