If you have to miss a class, please call your phone partners or group members about missed notes and assignments before returning to class. Together process grade and essay grade create the unit grade. Do not neglect your daily work. The process grade can significantly raise or lower your unit grade. Your grade in this class is cumulative.
Grades often improve dramatically after a session, or several sessions, with a tutor.
The Advanced Technology Learning Center, or ATLC, in the basement of the Library has a variety of computers for personal use, and tutors there will show you how to use specific systems and word processing programs. Text written on a word processor is much easier to revise. The chances are that you will, in your professional life, have to write on a computer, so this is a good time to learn how. Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible so that the necessary accommodations can be made. The process of writing is what strengthens your writing, regardless of your current writing ability.
