During the semester, you will be asked to write 2 short 5-paragraph essays. These essays will be worth 30 points each. The specifics of each assignment are provided in your course reader. Essay 1 is due February 26 and Essay 2 is due April 2 . When the assignment is about a reading, or requires additional sources, the readings and sources must be referenced.
All assignments are due in class on the dates shown.
The professor is not obligated to accept late assignments, but if an assignment is accepted late, points will be subtracted for every day the assignment is late. For each essay you will be given two grades, one for content and argument, the other for format, spelling, punctuation, syntax, etc. Your total grade will be the total points from these two grades. That is to say, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and so forth is important to your success in this class. I expect academic honesty at all times.
