Class participation is essential in this course. You will be required to write a full page of feedback for each member of your group and to hand in a copy to me. However, regular attendance in this class is crucial, and I will expect you to be present and on time for each class. While sometimes absences are unavoidable, please understand that missing classes will compromise the class participation portion of your grade. You will be required to visit the Writing Center at least once during the drafting process of each essay.
Help is given on a first come, first served basis, so be prepared to wait.
There are computer consultants on duty in the Computer Center to assist you if you need help. Plan on photocopying originals for workshop. I will frequently keep in touch with students via email, so please get in the habit of checking your email regularly. This site houses a list of on-line resources such as dictionaries, thesauri, style manuals, etc. Hours and other information for both the computer center and writing center are listed on the VCU English Department web site.
