I will grade you according to professional standards. But you can rewrite, which gives you an opportunity to improve and learn while doing so. It is mandatory, when you turn in a rewritten story, that you also submit the original, graded, first version. Rewrites must be turned in to me within two weeks of your receiving the graded originals back. No rewrites can be turned in after Friday, December 1.
All papers are due at the start of class on the day they are due.
If you plan on being a professional writer, it is a relatively inexpensive book and is an invaluable reference book, used by almost all newspaper reporters and editors. I have a recent edition, which you can look at, in my office, one on reserve in the library, and can provide you with the address, should you wish to buy your own. Any changes in office hours or classes will be posted on my office door, as well. If you need to reach me, leave a message on or under my office door, or put it in my mailbox upstairs in Leavenworth. If you have an emergency, ask the Leavenworth secretaries, Mary and Jean, where I can be found.
