Quizzes cannot be made up due to absences or tardiness. Five instances of tardiness will count as one absence. Homework is assigned daily, to be completed before class and turned in at the beginning of the class hour.

All written work is evaluated for language and style, as well as organizational accuracy and coherence. Longer assignments will include rewrites. E-mail journal is due every Sunday at 12 o'clock midnight. At least 5 sentences are expected. The journal is not graded.
