You are required to keep a portfolio for this course which will include all of the work you do. Your portfolio will consist of a 3-ring notebook and tab dividers for organizing your work. When conferences are taking place, one regular class meeting will be canceled. You also are encouraged to come and visit me during my office hours to discuss your papers in progress and your writing in general. Those students not meeting these prerequisites will not be permitted to attend class meetings.
Attendance is mandatory .
You must attend class meetings. An excused absence requires a note from your doctor or the dean of students and a phone call to me before the class. Without fail, notify your instructor if you are unable to attend class meetings. If you are absent, you are responsible for obtaining information discussed in the class meetings. Consult the syllabus and find a colleague in class to keep you updated.
