The assignments page for this course details the flow of work through the semester, including the due dates for essays and writing workshops. This schedule represents a tentative arrangement, and I reserve the right to change it whenever I believe such a departure serves educational goals. In the event of your absence make sure that you consult the posted schedule so that you can complete the work scheduled for the day you miss. In addition to essays, you will be required to complete various writing assignments throughout the semester. These assignments are appraised on a complete or incomplete basis.
Incomplete work receives no credit, whereas complete work receives full credit.
Occasional quizzes may also be included in the assignment percentage. When the essay is returned to you it will be marked with my questions and comments throughout the paper, but no grade. It will be up to you to continue working on your essays. If you choose to, after you have made significant revisions, you may turn your paper back in to me for additional feedback. Please follow the guidelines for form and appearance for an academic paper in The Little, Brown Compact Handbook on page 203.
