Make-up compositions must be revised to receive credit. A subsequent composition cannot be written until the previous composition has been graded, revised, and returned. Students absent on days that compositions are revised in class must revise their compositions at a scheduled make-up time. Students are expected to attend all classes. Class activities such as response groups, peer evaluations, class discussion, etc., that are missed due to absence cannot be made up and may result in a failing grade.
Compositions are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Compositions turned in after papers are collected will be considered late. Late compositions will be dropped one letter grade for each day late. All papers become the property of the MSU English Department. If you would like a personal copy of your essays, save it on disk. Unless otherwise specified, texts may be used in preparing compositions and assignments.
