Writers must be readers, and each week students will be expected to read and discuss a wide body of literature to be assigned each previous class period. Then students will be expected to write something similar. Attendance is mandatory. More than 3 unexcused absences affects grade. All writing assignments MUST be completed for students to receive a grade for the course.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Written assignments will be penalized one grade for every class period they are late. Use standard margins, double-spaced, in 12pt. If typing presents an insurmountable problem, you must consult the instructor in advance. Poems must also be typed, but single spaced. Two individual conferences required, more recommended.
