There will be no makeups of quizzes. Creative writing assignments are due on the date noted in the schedule. Mistakes and areas of weakness will be marked, but not corrected, and then returned to the student for revision. The quality of both the original and the revision will contribute to the final composition grade. Since your grade will be based on the quality of the original composition and your efforts to improve it in the revision, it is crucial that you turn in both your original and your revision together in order to receive the composition grade.
Attendance is mandatory.
Absences will affect your grade. Up to three absences are allowed for illness and family emergencies only. If you are late or must be absent, it is your responsibility to find out and do the homework assignment before the next class period and to come to my office to get any handouts. I urge you to meet and confer with me often to determine just how you are doing. I am here to help you as much as I can.
