See chapter 34 of the Harbrace College Handbook . Every syllabus I write contains this paragraph. Save your work after every paragraph or set your word processor's autosave feature to five minutes. And always keep a copy of your drafts on 2 diskettes or on a diskette and your hard drive. Never hand in your only copy of a paper in this or any class.
Disaster rewards the paranoid.
I will grade quizzes on a simple numerical scale. Response papers will get a simple check, a plus, or a minus. I will grade other portions of the course by letter grade, which you can convert to numerical equivalents using the scale below. You may email me your papers as attached files, saved both as a doc file and an rtf file. The starting assumption of this class is examined subjective responses to texts.
