Syllabus: Multiple Classes

If you are taking more than one of these online courses (Myth-Folklore, World Literature, Indian Epics) in the same semester, please read the notes below; there is a separate page for returning students who took a class previously and are now taking another class:

Orientation Week. There are a number of assignments that are the same for all the classes during Week 1, Orientation Week. Here are a list to help you sort out which assignments count for both classes, and which assignments you have to do separately:

• Honor Code, Technology, Email, Grading, Writing Tool Declarations: You will need to make sure you do the Declaration for these assignments in both of the classes you are enrolled in.
• Image Information Quiz: Please take the quiz in both classes (the questions are randomly generated, so you may or may not get the same questions in both quizzes).
• Ning account creation: You will have just one Ning account, and you will post about both of your classes in the same blog. This may get a little confusing, so MAKE SURE you are very clear in your blog post titles which class you are posting about. You need to make sure you give the blog post a title reflecting that: for example, Week 2 Indian Epics: Story Retelling. If you are using a post for two classes, make that clear also: Week 2 India / Myth: Famous Last Words.
• Ning Introduction Blog Post: You only have to do one post, but make sure you include the names of BOTH classes in the title for the post - and remember that you need to do the Declaration for both classes!
• Plagiarism Quiz: Please take the quiz in both classes (the questions are randomly generated, so you may or may not get the same questions in both quizzes).
• Ning Storytelling Blog Post: You only have to do one post, but make sure you include the names of BOTH classes in the title for the post - and remember that you need to do the Declaration for both classes!
• Storybook Favorites: Please do this assignment twice, following the separate instructions for each class you are in, browsing through the Storybooks in the two classes you are enrolled in. Make sure you give each blog post a separate title: for example, Week 1 Indian Epics: Storybook Favorites.
• Course Contract: You will need to do the Declaration for this assignment in both classes, but you only need to send me one email.
• Web Publishing Options: You only need to send me one email, but make sure you do the Declaration for both classes.
• OU Webspace Activation: You only have to do the Activation once; make sure you do the Declaration in both classes.
• Storybook Bibliography: If you are in Myth-Folklore and World Literature, you only need to do this assignment once, not twice. You can just send me one email, and it will count for both classes - but make sure you include BOTH classes in the subject line of the email so that I will remember to record the grade in both classes for you.
• Grammar and Writing Pretest: If you want points for this in both classes, you will need to take the pretest separately in each class (the questions are randomly generated, so you may or may not get the same questions in both quizzes).

Here is some information about overlapping assignments after the first week:

• Technology Tips. You can take credit in both classes for the same tip assignment; you do not have to do the assignment twice - just remember to do the Declaration in each class.

• Last Words. You only have to do one post, and you don't need to give it a special title since it is the same post for both classes since it is the same assignment - but remember that you need to do the Declaration for both classes!

• Internet Assignment - Week 2 and Week 3. You can use the work you do for the Week 2 Internet and Week 3 Internet assignments for both classes; you do not have to make two separate sets of webpages, but make sure you do the Declaration in both classes.

• Storybook page names. When you start creating Storybook webpages in Week 4, make sure you use different names for the pages in each class so you don't accidentally overwrite your own work. For example, instead of having a page named "storybook.html" (as suggested in the instructions), you will want to name your pages "mythstorybook.html" or "indiastorybook.html" or "worldstorybook.html" (you can come up with whatever system you want - just make sure you use a definite system for each class).
