What This Awl Means Required Articles Copies of assigned articles will be placed in convenient locations. You are free to borrow them, but are expected to show consideration for others and return them promptly. Reading assignments and all written work should be completed on time. Summaries of each of the required books should be handed in on the day it is discussed. Projects 3 and 4 will be discussed in class and separate written instructions will be distributed.
All papers are to be typed, double spaced, and provided with adequate margins.
Essays that reveal ignorance of basic rules of grammar and composition will be returned without a grade and must be edited before they can be resubmitted. Papers that have been graded and need editing for content may be rethought, rewritten, and resubmitted for a possible grade change. You must hand in the old version with the rewrite. If you doubt your ability to meet basic requirements for acceptable rules of usage and principles of composition, consult a manual. E.B. White's The Elements of Style, but you should also learn the more complex rules you will need to master before you submit a thesis or publishable paper to the Graduate School.
