Leaving class early or arriving late because of such an appointment will count as an instance of unexcused tardiness. Coming to class unprepared for example, through neglecting to do assigned reading, failing to bring copies of an essay for peer response, or arriving too late to participate effectively in journal writing will be counted as an unexcused absence. If you do not already have an e-mail account, you are strongly encouraged to obtain an APU account . In the message, be sure to give your name and identify yourself as a member of this Frosh Writing Seminar. For at least one of your essays, you will be required to bring photocopies of your first draft to distribute to the class for guided response.
All assignments are due on the date specified by the instructor.
In the event of an excused absence, such as for a university-sponsored athletic event, you must arrange to submit the assignment early or to have it submitted by another student. This includes both rough and final drafts of formal essays. It is considered a serious offense in all U.S. colleges and universities, and it will not be allowed in this class. The university and your instructor expect that all work you submit is entirely your own that it has not been written by another person, nor taken verbatim from a text without quotation marks and proper documentation. Violation of this code may result in a failing grade.
