Ask others to read your work before you hand it in. Make back up copies of all your files on more than one diskette. Invest in a good dictionary, a good thesaurus, and either the MLA or APA style manual. If you have any insecurity about your writing or the course, please feel free to tell the instructor as soon as possible early in the course. If you need extra help or attention, you must let me know early in the course.
Late notification is, alas, too late.
This is that rumbling of papers at towards the end of a class session, but prior to the actual end of class. This annoys me like someone scratching their fingernails on a chalkboard. Please do not do it. I will commit to taking no more of your time than I am allowed, and I ask that you respect me while I have that time and not engage in attempts at early escape. Finally, the grade you will receive in this class is your responsibility.
