Composition courses are workshop classes which included in-class writing, peer group work and conferences. Students should not be late. If you miss class, contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss your absence. Students not in class when writing is assigned are still responsible for completion of the assignment when due. Late work will not be accepted without penalty unless students make arrangements for an extension before the due date Students are required to keep copies of all drafts and major assignments until after the end of the semester.
