Journal Guidelines: The journal must show your reading of the assigned materials and your thinking about matters relevant to the course. The guided readings and questions in the online classroom will help you reflect on the materials in order
to respond through your journal. The journal is not a summary; it is a response to the readings. (You should
consult the sample journal.) Your responses should show your reflective judgment.
The order of learning is supposed to be: reading, writing, and discussing, so journal entries should usually be
made before discussions. You must enter the dates of your writing. (Don’t put the assignments in the headings.
Those references show up in the entry itself.) It is good to leave in earlier misunderstandings when they are
corrected at later dates; this shows development. The journals should reflect the student’s humility instead of a
"know it all" attitude. You may disagree with an author or the instructor, but support your position with reflective
reasons and relevant scholarly research.
The journal must be in proper scholarly form for the humanities (not social sciences or natural sciences). For a
passing grade, parenthetical documentation must be used (MLA style) if citing from one of the assigned texts. If
citing from other sources, give an expanded in-text citation [e.g., John Smith in his Twelve Steps (Penguin 2012),
says, "…." (17)]. In either case Works Cited is not necessary. (See MLA Guide in Resources for style and
samples.)
You are expected to use proper grammar and correct spelling and punctuation. The course is reading and writing
intensive, so rewriting is important for most students.
The journal work is to be submitted four times. Only new material is submitted. The minimum length for each of
the four journals is 1,500 words. There is no maximum. Include the word count on the front; without this, the
journal will lose five points.
You must submit your journals to the Dropbox by the close of Modules 2, 4, 6, and 8.
Characteristics of a very good journal:
Integrates personal observation and knowledge in an insightful way.
Provides concrete examples from the readings to support observations and interpretations.
Integrates prior readings.
Uses parenthetical documentation (MLA style) to show how the text is being read and to document
