Those ideas may be useful in writing the final draft of an article or interpreting a quote that seems confusing later on. At the end of the semester, you will turn in a portfolio of all your work from the semester and a written reflection on the work. Therefore, you need to keep all drafts of your work during the semester. I recommend that you also keep each draft on disk and on your hard drive. A 3-ring binder is a good place to keep your materials safe.
Attendance is required.
Assignments and announcements are given at the beginning of class. If you are late to class you may miss the details I provide orally. You are responsible for learning the particulars of all assignments if you do not get them in class. Many are explained in some detailed on the Web page. Request permission to miss a class before making appointments, plans, or travel arrangements.
