Learn to organize ideas for clarity and logic. Learn to use and document information from external sources. Assignments Assigned papers, including notes and drafts, are due at the beginning of class on announced due dates. Please note that computer and printer problems are not a sufficient excuse for lateness. Keep backup copies and backup printouts of all your work, and be sure to plan ahead so that if your printer isn't working or runs out of ink you have time to print your work elsewhere.
Late assignments are subject to a penalty of one letter grade.
I will not grade papers turned in over a week late. You must complete all major assignments in order to pass the course. If your paper is unacceptable, I require you to confer with me, revise your paper, and resubmit it within a week of our conference. Record-Keeping Please develop a system for taking notes, keeping track of assignments, and organizing course materials. You must keep all completed major papers, as well as your in-class paper in a green folder, which you will turn in at the end of the semester.
