Every microtheme and essay for this course is due at the beginning of the hour of the due date on the syllabus. Papers turned in after this time are considered late and are given severe penalties. Generally, assignments will be marked one letter grade lower for each day they are late. No assignments are accepted after being four days late. Advanced drafts of each essay are also due on the designated dates given on the syllabus.
Every essay is required to be written on a word processor.
No handwritten papers are acceptable, other than in-class compositions. Each page of the essay should have one inch margins all around, be left justified, and include a page number and the student's name. All text should be double spaced and font and point sizes of the text should yield around 250 words per page. All essays must be between four to five pages in length, containing 1000 to 1250 words. All submitted text must be original work.
