All policies are directed toward achieving that goal. If you have a sincere desire to learn, you will do well. Rather than focusing on your final grade, try to focus on acquiring solid college-level academic writing skills. Make a plan to succeed and do your best to stay on track. Since I encourage students to revise their essays, there is no extra credit in this course.
Consistent effort is required.
My duty is to be available to you and provide you with ample opportunity and guidance to practice this skill and, in the end, see measurable improvement.
