A piece that carries out the assignment in a routine way, makes a commitment and at least a minimum response to it. The actual information, though, seems thin and commonplace. One reason for that impression is the ideas are typically cast in the form of vague generalities. The C piece often fails to demonstrate maturity of thought, depth of development, or sufficient attention to organization. Students who need help in planning, outlining, and drafting an assignment may avail themselves of the consultants at the University Writing Center.
Consultants are available in the library, the residence halls, and other locations around campus.
You may also consult fellow classmates for thesis-clarifying discussions. Please note the due dates and prepare your work ahead of time to avoid problems due to illness, accident, death, family emergency, computer crashes, damaged disks, printing problems, university-sponsored activities, unforseen acts of God, or other emergencies . Absolutely no excuses will be accepted. To protect yourself you should consider handing in your writing assignments the class period before the due date. I courses is the awareness that we are historical beings, shaped by the experience and acts of our predecessors, and that in turn we shape the lives of those who follow us.
