You must get in touch with a classmate to find out what was done in class and what assignments are due. Do not come to class ignorant of what has gone on in your absence and what will go on the day you return. I do not appreciate being interrupted by students who are tardy. One of these will be a revision of a previous essay. Essays must be typed, double-spaced.
Essays are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
If you are tardy that day, or if you turn the essay in late, it will drop one letter grade, losing one additional letter grade every week that it is late. Avoid printer and diskette mishaps by completing the assignment the day before. You will receive separate assignment sheets detailing the requirements and due dates for writing assignments. Rough drafts and invention notes must be turned in along with each essay. These notes and drafts, along with other short writing assignments, must be brought to class when assigned as homework.
