Missing one class is equivalent to missing two days during a regular semester. I have structured in-class writings, quizzes, and short assignments such that you will usually write between one and three times during each class session. Take advantage of opportunities to earn extra credit. You may make up as many as 20 points during the term by doing extra credit. I will distribute a list of possible extra credit assignments later in the term.
All work is due at the beginning of class on the date posted on the course schedule.
Also, you are expected to have read assigned materials before coming to class on the date a work will be discussed. If you are unable to attend class on a particular date, you are responsible for getting class notes from another student. I will distribute a voluntary student contact sheet to help you contact one another should it be necessary. All work submitted must be written exclusively for this course. Please see me if you have any questions about your use of sources.
