Writing Exercises To fulfill the W-requirement, students will develop about ten writing short exercises using a computer word processor. Their length for should be approximately 250 words, about a double-spaced page. They are also listed on a webpage . Our writing goals emphasize direct clear writing in Standard English, using evidence to support points, and revising for order and correctness. Prompt submission of writing is also important, and late submissions will receive grade penalties.
Exercises are due at the start of the class of their due date.
Examinations cover material discussed in class. Students cutting five or more classes will not receive credit for this course. Cheating, however, on examinations and quizzes is a major violation of the trust among members of the academic community and will result in a course grade of no credit. Mr. McGowan will apply Appalachian's review procedures to cases of intellectual dishonesty that he considers egregious. Don't cheat or lie.
