A college-sized dictionary. If it's a paperback, it's not big enough. You learn to write more clearly, vividly, and correctly, and team how you can improve your writing in future. There should be few or no typographical errors. Double space all assignments except for the bibliographies.
All assignments are due in class at the beginning of the class meeting.
One late paper will be tolerated. After that, late papers will receive a lowered grade. For each paper, you should make an appointment with a tutor in advance, and bring at least three pages of draft to your meeting with the tutor. The tutor will then send me a note confirming that you have met. If you bring me drafts of your papers during my office hours, I will help you correct them before you submit them for a grade.
