See Checklist of Assignments for a list of all of these. All revisions must be handed in no later than two weeks after the paper was returned. You must discuss and clear the revision with me before you do it. Generally, I only allow you to revise when I am convinced you will learn something from the process, so revisions usually involve a wholesale reorganization of the original paper. The final grade entered in the gradebook will be an average of the before and after grades.
Corrections are different from revisions.
Everyone will be required to do corrections as part of their response to each graded paper I hand back. All your papers, corrections, and responses to grades will be kept in your class folder which I will keep when the course is over. You may pick up your folder after one full academic year. After mining folders for sample papers, I usually keep them for three to five years before tossing them, unless I have to move offices. There will be frequent reading assignments.
