I will do infrequent lecturing because group discussion is far more useful for you. In evaluating a piece of writing by one of your classmates, you will learn to make critical comments that will help you and your fellow students. This will be true for class discussions and for the smaller workshops. When commenting upon your classmates' writing, I expect you to be professional, polite, truthful, and fair. There will be give and take, with everyone's work evaluated in public, especially during the model draft discussions.
Active participation is mandatory.
Regular, one-time attendance is expected and essential for the successful completion of the course. Class participation is a major aspect of this course, and you can hardly participate in the class if you are not present. In addition to the participation grade, you also will receive an attendance grade. And to help you locate the error, I will also write a code from the chart of Editing symbols inside the back cover of Little, Brown Handbook. You should then try to figure out where your mistake Is.
