If you have any questions about absences, please talk to me. All essays and revisions must be typed and double-spaced using standard 12 point font, preferably using Times in Microsoft Word or Word Perfect. If possible, please print your essays on a laser printer. Each subsequent page must be numbered and all pages must be stapled together. Essays which do not follow this format will not be accepted.
All essays are due by the beginning of the class period assigned.
Make sure to print your essays in advance so you are not late for class. Papers will be lowered one third of a grade for every day they are late until the sixth day. You will write at least two drafts for every essay assignment. While I only give a grade for the final draft, bear in mind that timely completion of rough drafts and peer review are important parts of that final grade. Rough drafts will not be assigned a letter grade, but if you fail to turn in a rough draft on its due date, your final grade will suffer as a result.
