Grammar and Style mistakes are taken very seriously in Technical writing. Remember you are writing Edited American English in all these projects. Late papers will be assessed a one letter grade deduction. Usually we will complete three or four letters prior to meeting face2face. All papers may be further revised after meeting with the instructor.
Final grades are a sum of the grade for the first paper and the grade for the final revision.
Revised papers are to be handed in as a second redlined hard copy. Re-vision means a rethinking of major portions of the essay as well as improved copy editing. A Redlined paper has all additions and omissions indicated by underscoring with red ink. In this way I won't have to guess what has changed. If you have totally changed an entire paragraph, just place a vertical red li ne to the left of the changed paragraph rather in underlining the entire paragraph line by line.
