Course Overview:

            This course will be delivered 100% online and asynchronous with weekly due dates and
provides a brief overview of the history of human communication. We’ll focus primarily on
more recent history (the last couple of hundred years) but will begin with the earliest known
communication artifacts and progress rapidly from there.
Most of what we will cover is in the realm of mass communication. We will explore how
communication changed as society changed, and the role of communication in producing social
changes of various sorts. Importantly, we will be making connections between issues and events
from the past to the world we are living in today.
You’ll be responsible for material covered in the lecture or in assigned readings from the
text (see below) as well as additional visual material (movies, radio programs, etc.).
Course Objectives:

Communication COMM 1101 is a GEC course in Category 2, Breadth, B. Social Science,
subcategory (1) Individuals and Groups. Courses in social science help students understand
human behavior and cognition, and the structures of human societies, cultures and institutions.
Courses that fulfill this requirement have the following learning objectives:

1.Students understand the theories and methods of social scientific inquiry as they apply
to the study of individuals and groups.

2.Students understand the behavior of individuals, differences and similarities in social
and cultural contexts of human existence, and the processes by which groups function.

3.Students comprehend and assess individual and group values and their importance in
social problem solving and policy making.

Meeting Course Objectives:

1. To provide you with an introduction to the history of communication.
◾Via lecture materials tracing the known history
◾Through reading materials focusing on human communication history
◾Through examination of major mass communication mediums and how they interrelate

2. To introduce you to the theory and methods of understanding history.

3

◾Through a lecture covering some of the important theories and methods of how we can
understand what has happened before
◾Through practice in doing your own historical research
◾Through writing summaries of the results of your own research
◾Through providing illustrative examples of these approaches throughout our
examination of media history

3. To explore the ways in which media presentations may have different impacts for
differing ethnic or racial groups and the interplay between societal/cultural values and
media content.
◾By examining historical media content within the social norm context in which it
evolved
◾Through an example overview of the early African American cinema and ideas of in-
group and out-group behavior
◾By examining the relationship between African American portrayals in media content,
producers’ goals, and audience members’ reactions

 4. To develop your ability to comprehend and assess individual and group values as
reflected in media content history, and to recognize their importance in social problem
solving and policy making.
◾By examining the development and differences in media regulation and policy
◾By exploring the relationship between violent behavior and media content
◾By studying the role of free speech in relation to media effects

Credit hour and work expectation
This is a 3-credit-hour course. According to Ohio State policy, students should expect around 3 hours per
week of time spent on direct instruction (instructor content and Carmen activities, for example) in
addition to 6 hours of homework (reading and assignment preparation, for example) to receive a grade
of (C) average. ASC Honors provides an excellent guide to scheduling and study expectations.

Course Requirements:
Textbook:
Kovarik, B. Revolutions in communication:  Media history from Gutenberg to the digital age (2nd
Edition). Bloomsbury. (pdf’s are available on Carmen, so you do not need to buy the book unless
you prefer it over the pdf’s)

Assignments and Exams:
Coursework includes weekly quizzes (online and timed, generally multiple-choice and T/F style
questions, with about 5 to 10 questions per quiz, questions randomly pulled from pools for each
topic so that your quiz may have different questions than another student, but they cover the
same concepts), weekly exam questions (online, short answer essays), and C-REP participation.
For quizzes, you may use your own notes, but you may not use any other sources. We will have
1000 points possible in the class as follows:

Requirement
Points/Percent of Final Grade
Quizzes
400 (13 quizzes in total, the lowest 3 scores are dropped,
so the 10 that are kept are worth 40 points each)

Please note:  Carmen Canvas, OSU’s class management software, does not round fractions up. I
don’t round up individual grades, no matter how close, because it’s not fair to others.
Carmen has different settings for viewing grades. There is a setting in which assignments that are
not completed are counted as a “zero” and a setting in which incomplete assignments are not yet
counted in the final grade. If you are calculating your grade through the semester, make sure you
are factoring in any assignments you failed to turn in on time as a “zero”.
Assignments:
Please keep track of when things are due. I recommend signing up for email notifications for
when there are announcements and discussion posts on Carmen.
Late work:  Late work will rarely be accepted in this class. The assignments are provided well
in advance and many of the lowest scores will be dropped for your final grade. Please recall that
the due dates are not the goal for turning in assignments. Rather, the due dates are the last chance
to turn them in. I recommend turning work in well in advance of the due date in case of technical
problems or life issues.
Late work will be considered only if you have documentation (coming from a reputable
source and including dates) of severe illness or emergency that lasts more than 2 weeks (since
the lowest grades are already dropped). For health issues, I don’t need any medical information
on documentation, but I do require information from your care provider specifying that you were
not well enough to do online work. There cannot be any exceptions to this requirement for
documentation. Sample language might look something like this: “[Name] was under my care
and unable to do any schoolwork, including asynchronous online work from [start date] to [end
date]”. Those dates must cover at least 2 weeks.
Following instructions and keeping deadlines is an invaluable skill in the workforce. Thus, it is
important to work on time management in college.
Please do not email your paper to the professor or to the TAs. We can only grade what you
submit to Carmen prior to the deadline because assignments that are emailed do not go through
the plagiarism check. It’s important that all students have the same guidelines and expectations.
Please note that any days you miss from starting the class late cannot be made up. However, your
lowest grades are dropped from the final score, so those can be the days you missed.
Religious holidays:  Our inclusive environment allows for religious expression.
Students requesting accommodations based on faith, religious or a spiritual belief

7

system in regard to examinations, other academic requirements or absences, are
required to provide the instructor with written notice of specific dates for which
the student requests alternative accommodations at the earliest possible date.
For more information about religious accommodations at Ohio State,
visit odi.osu.edu/religious-accommodations.
Before you submit an assignment:
Make certain it is in "doc" or "docx" or “pdf” format and that you have a reliable Internet
connection. If your home or apartment does not have reliable service, try an on-campus computer
lab or library.

Remember to leave yourself enough time to verify that your submission went through properly
as problems with technology will not be accepted for late work.

Pre-grading:  Please note also that we cannot pre-grade your papers. If you have specific
questions, we are always available to answer those. However, we cannot read your paper in its
entirety before the due date and tell you everything you need to change to get a perfect score.

Verifying that you submitted your assignment:
Please do not email your instructor or TA to ask if your assignment was submitted properly.
You can check this on Carmen. Here it is step by step:
= After submitting the assignment, you should be taken back to the main page for the assignment
= On the right-hand side is a submission status
= To verify that everything uploaded correctly, click on 'Download [filename]'; you might want
to save it to a different location on your hard drive than the original, or rename it during the
download process, to avoid overwriting your original
= Open the downloaded file and make sure everything looks correct
Recall that only what you submit by the deadline will be graded, even if it was not what you
intended to submit. So, it’s important that you check to be sure your submission was successful.
If you are worried about the submission, you may want to consider taking a screen shot of the
submission verification.
General Grading Criteria
The following is a general guideline regarding the 5 different categories on the rubrics. Please
see comments in Carmen for more details when you get your grade back, but this is a general
note:

“Exceptional” responses briefly but succinctly combine information from lecture and outside
sources (we will talk about using the library). The response is extremely well written and
organized in APA format. Exceptional responses demonstrate that you can reiterate information
from the lecture and other course materials, find and integrate additional relevant information on

8

your own from sources outside of the course materials, and incorporate your own original
analysis. There are no comments on improvement.

“Above Average” responses briefly but succinctly answer the questions, combining information
from the class as well as information from outside class and add your own analysis. There is
some additional information that may improve the response but overall, it is above average, and
feedback on improvement is minimal.

“Average” responses meet the minimum requirements of the assignment. However, information
needs to be clarified or there is information that is incorrect. Improvements could be made in
organizing information from different sources, or otherwise there is room for improvement that’s
not minor.

“Needs Improvement” means there was some key information missing or inaccurate/irrelevant
information included. An attempt was made but it doesn’t hit the minimum requirements.

“Not Addressed” generally means that the information was missing or inaccurate.

Technical Problems:  Contact OIT (https://ocio.osu.edu/help) to see if they can help fix the
problem so that you don't get it again.  Calling is often faster than email.

Video lectures have a link in the Modules tab of Carmen. That link will take you to MediaSite
where lectures are stored. MediaSite is the only university sanctioned website for hosting
lectures, and it generally works great. However, in very large classes, it can happen that if three
or four hundred students are all viewing a lecture at the same time, the lecture video can slow
down or buffer. While this does not happen often, I do recommend that you not wait until the last
minute to view videos just in case this happens to be an issue for you.

Grading:  Please don’t email your TA to ask if grades are finished. There are many students in
the course, and we want to do justice to each submission. If there is a post on Carmen that says
the grades have all been entered, and you don’t have a grade, then you need to contact your TA
or professor.

Grade Disputes:  Any dispute about a grade must be taken up with your TA within one week of
the grade posting, so please keep track of your grades and check them when you see an
announcement. If you are disputing your grade on one of the assignments, you must prepare a
.doc or .docx document, going point-by-point through the rubric and explaining why you think
your work deserves a different grade. Please note that grade disputes are not a normal part of the
grading process. Grade disputes should be submitted only when you can justify clearly why you
believe your grade should be changed. Please submit your grade dispute first to the person who
graded your paper. If your dispute is ongoing after this, you may contact your professor. If you
have talked with both the TA and the professor and still want to pursue a grade dispute, see the
university's Complaint, Grievance, and Appeal Procedures

Page Limits and Formatting:  Papers with page limits must use APA formatting (don’t worry if
APA is new to you; we will cover it in class) and must adhere to the page limits. Expressing

9

yourself in a clear and succinct manner is a very valuable writing skill! Thus, exceeding the page
limit will result in a reduction of your grade. Page limits are also strict to keep the playing field
fair for everyone. Be careful not to go over your page/word limit, even by one sentence/word.
Contact Information for Various Issues
Who to Contact for Specific Problems:
Questions about the course/assignments/lectures/etc.:  First, post in the discussion area, as that
allows the professor, TAs and other students to see issues and respond to everyone in an
organized and timely manner. It keeps us all on the same page and allows everyone access to the
same information ☺  You should post your query on one of the existing discussion threads
instead of starting a new one.
You should contact your professor via email if you need to schedule an appointment for office
hours at foster.1182@osu.edu. For questions about a grade you received, please direct your
question to the person who graded your paper (you’ll know from the comments who graded it).
Health Issues or Emergency Situations:  Contact your instructor or Student Advocacy as these
are always of a personal nature. See information on illnesses at https://safeandhealthy.osu.edu/
Technical Problems with Your Computer or Internet Connection Issues:  OIT can be called
at 614-688-HELP (4357). You can also email them about your problem, or you can request that
they call you back.  The website for these alternatives is:  https://osuitsm.service-
now.com/selfservice/help_splash.do (Links to an external site.)
C-REP problems or questions: If your question is personal and C-REP related, contact the C-
REP administrator.
Problems with your TA or unresolved issues (after trying the above): Contact Dr. Foster
Email etiquette:  Please ensure that any emails you send are written professionally. If you are
unsure about email etiquette, please check out the following website
https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2015/04/16/advice-students-so-they-dont-sound-silly-
emails-essay This includes any correspondence with the professor, Teaching Assistants, and
other students. Everybody makes mistakes sometimes, and it can happen that if you’re frustrated
that you may end up sending an email that does not represent yourself the way you’re like to. In
that case, I encourage you to ask for a do-over and send a new response written in a way that is
more reflective of your professional self.
Also, if you need to email me, please be sure to include the course name and section. If we are
having an ongoing conversation via email, please make sure to “reply” to that thread instead of
starting a new one each time. This will help us stay organized so that I can reply faster.

Title IX
Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender are Civil Rights offenses
subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against
other protected categories (e.g., race). If you or someone you know has been sexually harassed or
assaulted, you may find the appropriate resources at http://titleix.osu.edu or by contacting the Interim
Ohio State Title IX Coordinator, Molly Peirano, at titleix@osu.edu
Health
As a student you may experience a range of issues that can cause barriers to learning, such as strained
relationships, increased anxiety, alcohol/drug problems, feeling down, difficulty concentrating and/or

11

lack of motivation. These mental health concerns or stressful events may lead to diminished academic
performance or reduce a student’s ability to participate in daily activities. The Ohio State University
offers services to assist you with addressing these and other concerns you may be experiencing.
If you are or someone you know is suffering from any of the aforementioned conditions, you can learn
more about the broad range of confidential mental health services available on campus via the Office of
Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Service (CCS) by visiting ccs.osu.edu or calling 614--292--
5766. CCS is located on the 4th Floor of the Younkin Success Center and 10th Floor of Lincoln Tower. You
can reach an on-call counselor when CCS is closed at 614-292-5766.
If you are thinking of harming yourself or need a safe, non-judgmental place to talk, or if you are worried
about someone else and need advice about what to do, 24-hour emergency help is also available
through the Suicide Prevention Hotline (Columbus: 614-221-5445)
Instructor illness or absence
If the instructor is too ill to teach the course for a period of time, the designated backup for this course
will step in. You will be notified via email from the School of Communication.
Academic integrity policy
Policies for this online course
• Written assignments: Your written assignments, including discussion posts, should be
your own original work. In formal assignments, you should follow APA style to cite the
ideas and words of your research sources. You are encouraged to ask a trusted person
to proofread your assignments before you turn them in--but no one else should revise
or rewrite your work.
• Reusing past work: In general, you are prohibited in university courses from turning in
work from a past class to your current class, even if you modify it. If you want to build
on past research or revisit a topic you've explored in previous courses, please discuss
the situation with me.
• Falsifying research or results: All research you will conduct in this course is intended to
be a learning experience; you should never feel tempted to make your results or your
library research look more successful than it was.
Academic Misconduct
It is the responsibility of the Committee on Academic Misconduct to investigate or establish procedures
for the investigation of all reported cases of student academic misconduct. The term “academic
misconduct” includes all forms of student academic misconduct wherever committed; illustrated by, but
not limited to, cases of plagiarism and dishonest practices in connection with examinations. Instructors
shall report all instances of alleged academic misconduct to the committee (Faculty Rule 3335-5-487).
For additional information, see the Code of Student Conduct http://studentlife.osu.edu/csc/

Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity
There has been a significant increase in the popularity and availability of a variety of generative
artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including ChatGPT, Sudowrite and others. These tools will help
shape the future of work, research and technology but when used in the wrong way, they can
stand in conflict with academic integrity at Ohio State.

All students have important obligations under the Code of Student Conduct to complete all
academic and scholarly activities with fairness and honesty. Our professional students also have
the responsibility to uphold the professional and ethical standards found in their respective
academic honor codes. Specifically, students are not to use unauthorized assistance in the
laboratory, on field work, in scholarship or on a course assignment unless such assistance has
been authorized specifically by the course instructor. In addition, students are not to submit
their work without acknowledging any word-for-word use and/or paraphrasing of writing, ideas
or other work that is not your own. These requirements apply to all students undergraduate,
graduate, and professional.

To maintain a culture of integrity and respect, these generative AI tools should not be used in
the completion of course assignments unless an instructor for a given course specifically
authorizes their use. Some instructors may approve of using generative AI tools in the academic
setting for specific goals. However, these tools should be used only with the explicit and clear
permission of each individual instructor, and then only in the ways allowed by the instructor.

In Communication 1101, you should be integrating information from a variety of sources and
citing them appropriately.  While AI or other tools may help you get started, these tools are not
good for such integration and citation, so they should not be used for your writing. And
whenever you use text verbatim from any source, acknowledge that the words are not your
own.

Accessibility accommodations for students with disabilities
Requesting Accommodations
The university strives to make all learning experiences as accessible as possible. If you anticipate
or experience academic barriers based on your disability including mental health, chronic or
temporary medical conditions, please let me know immediately so that we can privately discuss
options. To establish reasonable accommodations, your instructor may request that you register
with Student Life Disability Services (SLDS). After registration, make arrangements with your
instructor as soon as possible to discuss your accommodations so that they may be
implemented in a timely fashion.
In light of the current pandemic, students seeking to request COVID-related accommodations
may do so through the university’s request process, managed by Student Life Disability Services.

Class Meetings

This course meets for lecture three
days a week and for discussion section one day a week (four times
total). I will conduct lectures on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Please feel free to ask questions in lecture, though preferably none
regarding homework problems. Please
turn off all cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices before
the lecture.

On Tuesdays or Thursdays your TA will lead a discussion section where
he or she can answer any questions, and homework problems can be
discussed. The TAs will also help with those problems during their
office hours.

Questions concerning homework problems and the course material should
first be addressed to the TAs, and then to me, if further clarification
seems necessary. Questions concerning grading should be primarily
addressed to me, and not the TAs.

Homework

There will be a problem set assigned in lecture on Friday every
week, and  collected during lecture the following Friday. Homework
is due no later than 5 minutes after the beginning of lecture on each
Friday.

No late homework will be accepted.

However, your lowest homework score will be dropped when computing your
grade.  Homework will be returned the following week in discussion
section. The problems will range in difficulty from routine to more
challenging. You may work together on the exercises, but any graded
assignment should represent your own work.

Put the following information in the upper right hand corner of the
first page:

Your Name (first and last)

Date, homework assignment number

TAs name, time and number of discussion section (5a-5f resp. 6a-6f)

On each additional page, put your name in the upper right-hand corner.
Work single-sided, i.e., write on only one side of each sheet of paper.
STAPLE homework that is more than one page long. Remove all perforation
before submitting. Write legibly. Label the chapter + section number as
well as the problem number (e.g., 7.2 #2).

Homework that fails to meet the above
requirements will be marked "Unacceptable'' and returned unread.

Exams and Grades

There will be two midterm
examinations, on Wednesday,
October 28 and Wednesday,
November 18, each at 5:30 pm-6:30 pm, in Haines 39 (Lecture 3) and Lakretz 110 (Lecture 4).
There will be a final exam on Friday,
December
11, 8:00 am-11:00 am in 147
Dodd Hall (Lecture 3) respectively Thursday, December 10, 11:30
am-2:30 pm in MS 4000A (Lecture 4).

No make up exams will be given under
any circumstances.

For each exam, you must bring a picture ID. No books, calculators,
scratch paper or notes will be allowed during exams.

Your final grade will be based on the following: 10 % for homework, 25
% for each midterm, 40 % for final.

Letter grades will be assigned according to the departmental guidelines
for Math 31A. Letter grades will only be assigned for your final grade
in this course.

Students are expected to be thoroughly familiar with the UCLA policy on
academic integrity. UCLA has instituted serious penalties for academic
dishonesty. Copying work to be
submitted for grade, or allowing your work to be submitted for grade to
be copied, is considered academic dishonesty. Here, 'copying'
does not only refer to producing verbatim copies, but includes slightly
adapting and submitting material originally due to someone else.

All scores and final grades will be available on the MyUCLA gradebook.

Midterm 1 will cover all sections from
2.1 up to and including 4.4 which were discussed in class.
Midterm 2 will cover all sections from
4.6 up to and including 5.4 which were discussed in class. The final
exam will be cumulative.

General Information
-This 4-credit, “C” type, elementary level class meets for a 50-minute class period Monday
through Thursday during the semester and carries the expectation that students will work on
course learning activities (reading, writing, oral activities, studying, etc.) for a minimum of 2
hours out of the classroom for every class period (for a minimum of 10 hours outside of class per
week). All assignments, including readings, need to be completed before class. Face-to-face time
will be used for practice, further explanation and clarification of more complicated topics. If you
need more information, please speak with me as soon as possible.

Course description and Learning Outcomes
Spanish 101 involves language practice through writing, reading, speaking and listening. During
the course, students will attempt to:
• Communicate, with few errors, in Spanish using level-appropriate language for classroom
and non-classroom situations.
• Comprehend and analyze basic, level-appropriate common auditory and written inputs
such as classroom instructions and real-world examples.
• Identify and produce level-appropriate grammar and vocab, especially in written work.
• Successful completion of Spanish 101 is preparation for Spanish 102, which continues
expanding upon these outcomes through new language topics.

Course and grade breakdown

Unit Exams (20%), see calendar on Canvas
The two (2) unit exams (10% of final grade each) serve as a cumulative review of the grammar,
vocabulary and cultural topics studied up to the date of the exam, with emphasis on the most
recently studied chapters. The goal is to identify what topics are causing the most difficulty in
preparation for the midterm and final exams. They are written in class and follow a similar

2

layout to the homework and in-class exercises. They may include reading a listening
comprehension, application of grammatical concepts and writing skills. Please check the dates of
these exams to avoid potential conflicts.

Midterm Exam (15%), see calendar on Canvas
The midterm exam is comprehensive and will follow a similar format to the unit exams. As the
midterm exam date approaches, I will provide you with more information. Please check the dates
of these exams to avoid potential conflicts.

Final Exam (15%), see calendar on Canvas
As with the midterm, the final exam is comprehensive and is scheduled for the final exam date
for this course (see calendar). More information with be provided near the end of the semester.
Final exams are not available for reschedule without prior instructor and Coordinator approval
and must be taken within a 24-hour window following the originally-scheduled time.

Homework (20%)
Daily homework includes anything I indicate in class, on the calendar, via email or on Canvas.
At a minimum, it will include various types of tasks, e.g. reading from the textbook, doing
written and oral activities from various sources (including textbook, supplement, etc.),
completing the McGraw-Hill “Connect” exercises (known as “Prep”, “Hmwk”, “LearnSmart”
and “Pruebas” and accessible through Canvas after registering your paid access), etc. Late
homework will not be accepted. If you miss a class, you are still responsible for completing
that day’s assignment.

¡OJO!  Homework includes preparation for class each day. This often includes some kinds of
reading and prep activities, as well as follow-up activities after seeing topics in class.

Written assignments (10%)
There are four (4) writing assignments that will be done in class. They will be examined for
errors involving content that we have seen up to the point. After receiving instructor feedback,
you will be responsible for making corrections and revisions as part of your homework.

Oral assignments (10%)
Approximately every two weeks you will complete a "Connect” oral exercise. These activities
will consist of a picture description or a partner discussion activity. You will complete the
activity and upload the video to Canvas as instructed.

Participation (10%)
Active oral and mental participation is essential to being a successful language learner. It
requires preparation of homework and readings in advance, asking questions, volunteering to
answer questions or provide information in class, actively engaging in group work, and staying
on task, all in Spanish. It also involves being respectful of the class and of all individual
members of the class. Your active and helpful participation in class will be assessed at various
points throughout the semester. If possible, please keep your phone (on silent) and any
distracting devices put away in class.

3

Attendance
Consistent attendance in a communicative language course is essential. Therefore, students are
required to come to class whenever possible. To alleviate any negative impact on your grade,
you are allotted a total of four (4) absences during the semester without penalty. Each additional
absence beyond that will result in the loss of 1% off of your final grade (max of 10% of
your total grade).
If you know in advance that you will be missing a class for whatever reason, please inform me
WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF CLASS to receive details about missed material. Remember that
late homework is not accepted.

Academic Integrity (Don’t cheat!) and Student Rights
“By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UW-
Madison’s community of scholars in which everyone’s academic work and behavior are held to the
highest academic integrity standards. Academic misconduct compromises the integrity of the university.
Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, and helping others commit these acts are
examples of academic misconduct, which can result in disciplinary action. This includes but is not limited
to failure on the assignment/course, disciplinary probation, or suspension. Substantial or repeated cases of
misconduct will be forwarded to the Office of Student Conduct & Community Standards for additional
review.” studentconduct.wiscweb.wisc.edu/academic-integrity/. ¡OJO! In a language course, this
includes translators, whether human or electronic, as their use is NOT permitted for this class. Also, you
should not use a tutor without first consulting the instructor.

Additionally, this course adheres to the guidelines set forth by UW-Madison concerning your rights.
http://guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/#rulesrightsandresponsibilitiestext

Accomodations for students (Be successful!)
“The University of Wisconsin-Madison supports the right of all enrolled students to a full and equal
educational opportunity. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Wisconsin State Statute (36.12),
and UW-Madison policy (Faculty Document 1071) require that students with disabilities be reasonably
accommodated in instruction and campus life. Reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities
is a shared faculty and student responsibility. Students are expected to inform me of their need for
instructional accommodations by the end of the third week of the semester, or as soon as possible after a
disability has been incurred or recognized. I, will work either directly with the you and/or in coordination
with the McBurney Center to identify and provide reasonable instructional accommodations.”
http://mcburney.wisc.edu/facstaffother/faculty/syllabus.php

Diversity and Inclusion (Be considerate!)
“Diversity is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation for UW-Madison. We value the contributions
of each person and respect the profound ways their identity, culture, background, experience, status,
abilities, and opinion enrich the university community. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of excellence
in teaching, research, outreach, and diversity as inextricably linked goals. The University of Wisconsin-
Madison fulfills its public mission by creating a welcoming and inclusive community for people from
every background – people who as students, faculty, and staff serve Wisconsin and the world.”

Description
LING 101 is a general introduction to the structure, function, and development of natural
human language. The questions addressed include
• What do you know when you know a language?
• How do children come to know it?
• How and why do languages change over time?
• Why are there so many languages?
• How can we tell when two languages have a common ancestor? When the ancestor
did not survive, how can we reconstruct it?
• What properties are common to all natural languages, and why?
These questions are approached through formal analysis (usually qualitative, but some-
times quantitative) of data elicited from humans (sometimes ourselves).
There are no prerequisites.

Requirements
Final grades for this course will be calculated as follows:
40% Homework. There will be problem sets approximately weekly, amounting to a total of
20–40 pages of written work per student over the course of the semester. Homeworks
are due at the start of class on Monday. They are to be handed in on paper, but
may be typed or hand-written. No homework grades will be dropped. Homework
will be graded on a three-point scale from 0 to 2. It is checked for completeness and,
additionally, one or two random parts are scrutinized to check the content of your
answers. To receive the highest score, 2, the homework must meet two requirements:
– It must be complete.
– The parts that were scrutinized must show understanding of the material and
demonstrate real eﬀort on your part.
A homework which meets only one of the criteria will receive a grade of 1, i.e., if it
is incomplete (but at least 50% complete), or if the checked portion shows lack of
eﬀort or lack of understanding. A homework which fails to meet both criteria will
receive a grade of 0. Solutions will be discussed in recitation sections. In calculating
ﬁnal grades, 2 corresponds approximately to 100, a 1 approximately to 80, and a 0
precisely to 0; hence, missing an assignment is much worse than doing it poorly.
45% Exams. There will be two midterms and a ﬁnal, all in-class and cumulative from the
beginning of the course, all equally weighted (15% each). Please note that the exams
may cover material from any component of the course, be it lecture, recitation,
reading, or homework. (For example, an exam question may address material that
was covered only in the reading.)
15% Attendance and participation. The recitation sections will involve a lot of discussion,
which everyone should contribute to over the course of the semester. Multiple un-
excused absences from recitation or lecture will have a direct negative eﬀect on the
attendance and participation grade (as well as an indirect one on the other compo-
nents). The same applies to a pattern of coming late or being unprepared for class
discussion.
Numeric grades will be converted to UNC’s letter-grade system by mapping the numeric
range from 60 to 100 onto the 10 passing letter grades from D to A, with four numeric points
per step (except that A has 5 points, 96 to 100).

4
Policies
Attendance. If you must miss class because of a medical or family emergency, you should
let your recitation TA know beforehand by emailing, phoning, slipping a note under their
door, or buttonholing them in person. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to get
missed materials from the instructors or other students. Always check the website if you
have been absent.
Reading. You are expected to come to class having done the reading and thought about
it until either (a) it makes sense, or (b) you can express precisely what about it doesn’t
make sense; either way, you’ll have something to talk about in class.
Late assignments: Homework solutions may be discussed in lecture the day the assign-
ment is due, and will certainly be discussed in recitation sections. Therefore, as a general
rule, no late assignments will be accepted for credit. Exceptions may be made if
• You got advance permission (by asking the recitation instructor before the due date)
to hand in an assignment late, or
• You couldn’t come to campus on the day the assignment is due because of a serious
illness or other unexpected emergency. You need to get the assignment in to your
recitation instructor at the earliest possible opportunity with a written explanation
of the situation. Email is best.
Collaboration, citation, and outside sources. It is a really good idea to discuss assign-
ments with others in the class and solve the problems together.
However, each person
should write up their solution alone.
The library and the World Wide Web are full of information about linguistics, and
you are encouraged to use them to supplement the class materials. If the explanation of
some topic in the class reading leaves you puzzled, it can be very helpful to track down a
diﬀerent explanation elsewhere. However, you should remember that homework and
exam problems are for solving, not for looking up the answers to. If your
assignment is to ﬁgure out how suﬃx vowels aﬀect root vowels in Pulaar (a Niger-Congo
language of Mauritania), it is perfectly ﬁne to look up concepts like “suﬃx”. It is not at
all ﬁne to get a reference grammar of Pulaar out of the library and see what it says about
suﬃx and root vowels!
If you collaborate or consult out-of-class sources on an assignment, you need to acknowl-
edge them in the writeup, to give credit where it is due.
The Carolina Honor Code is in eﬀect in this class, and I will treat violations
seriously. You should review it at http://instrument.unc.edu. If you have questions
about interpretation, you should bring them to me. Every assignment you hand in
must be accompanied by a signed statement that you have complied with the
Code requirements in everything related to that work, e.g., “I completed this
assignment in full compliance with the Honor Code.”.
Recording. Permission to make audio or video recordings of lecture or recitation will be
given only in special circumstances (e.g., to students with hearing impairments).
Communication. Email will be the main channel for oﬃcial communications. Hence,
everyone should check email at least once a day from Monday through Friday.

The Chemistry of Life

describe the properties of carbon and water and how they are necessary for life.

describe the basic structural characteristics of the major classes of biological macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids).

apply chemical principles to the analysis of the structure and function of macromolecules.

explain the relationship between the structures of macromolecules and their general functions and biological importance.

The Cell

describe the structure and properties of the plasma membrane and its role in the cellular response to its environment.

explain basic activities of the cell by relating structure and function of cellular components, organelles, and systems.

compare and contrast prokaryotic, plant, and animal cells.

outline representative mechanisms for how cells send, receive, and respond to signals.

explain the forms of energy utilized in biological systems and the laws of thermodynamics that govern them.

characterize enzymes, their functions, and the major mechanisms that control their activity.

explain the transformations of energy and carbon involved in cellular respiration, fermentation, and photosynthesis (including orderly chemical transformations, the relevance of redox reactions, and electron/proton transport).

explain the mechanisms and structures involved in mitotic and meiotic cell division and explain the different roles for and consequences of each.

describe how the loss/failure of cellular control mechanisms can lead to disease.

Genetics

explain the transfer and modification of heritable traits from parents to offspring via Mendelian inheritance.

apply principles of Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics to predict the outcomes of a variety of genetic crosses.

explain the basis of and identify examples of non-Mendelian patterns of inheritance.

describe the nature and expression of heritable information at the molecular level, including: the Central Dogma, DNA replication, transcription, protein synthesis (translation).

explain how gene expression is controlled in prokaryotes and eukaryotes (at transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation levels).

identify mutations in DNA and assess their impact on gene expression and diversity.

explain how differential gene expression relates to organismal development.

describe characteristics of viruses and bacteria (e.g., life history, genome type and content, exchange of genetic material).

describe the experimental basis and select applications of recombinant DNA technology.

Nature of biological science and society

describe the development and evaluation of scientific explanations of natural phenomena.
