You should not miss more than ONE class session, and that only in the case of an emergency. You will need to allow plenty of time to complete your reading assignments, and to block out adequate sessions for writing, planning presentations, and preparing for the final. If you feel you cannot make this kind of commitment, perhaps you should not enroll in this course. Careful proofreading is fundamental to this class. Any essay containing excessive errors in the first paragraph will be returned for correction and will, upon resubmission, be counted as late.
Essays are due at the beginning of the class period on the date specified.
Your grade will be lowered. In addition, I will not accept any papers more than two class periods after they are due. In either case the student may be referred to the Student Discipline Officer for further action. Please note that I am familiar with Cliff's Notes, Monarch Notes, websites related to our various readings. Essay assignments for this class must be typewritten.
