Becoming a more competent writer will be the result of learning from each other as well as your instructor. These books are available in the UT Bookstore and should be brought to class each time. Attendance is important to your progress, so come on time and be prepared to discuss the assigned reading material. Constant tardiness or more than four absences may result in a drop in your final grade or may cause you to be dropped from the course at the instructor's discretion. If you are ill or a family emergency prevents you from attending a class, notify me and make arrangements to obtain the material or information missed that day from me during my office hours, or from a classmate either before or after class.
Assignments are due on the day specified.
Late work may be accepted due to extenuating circumstances and is subject to a lowered grade. The variety of comments and questions from all students will make the course fun and productive. Helping to stimulate each other's ideas is what the course is all about. Ultimately, we teach each other. If you have trouble determining whether or not a course needs to be cited in your writing, check with your instructor.
