You will get a separate grade on your portfolio that will figure into your semester grade. I will not give you too much guidance on the portfolio, because I want it to be YOUR project. Your portfolio will equal one essay grade. But you don't have to worry about this one until the end of the semester. If, for emergency reasons, you are unable to turn in your essay on time, please inform me immediately.
All final essays are due at the beginning of the class on the day noted on each partial syllabus.
Late essays will not be accepted. Also, do not put an essay in my mailbox unless I have instructed you to do so. I will not evaluate essays left in my mailbox unless we have arranged for you to leave it there. Follow these guidelines for all other assignments as well. For those of you who are not familiar with using computers, writing and revising essays in this class will be much easier if you learn.
