I am breaking with tradition this semester. Instead of assigning drafts as I have in the past, I am going to list a date when a draft, if you wish to write one, will be due. If you chose not to do a draft, then your entire grade with rest on the final version of your paper. All papers must comply with the rules set forth in this syllabus. Bring your paper ideas to them before you write your draft, and they will assist you in fashioning them into a coherent and effective essay.
