Your grade will be based on three factors. The final paper will receive a letter grade and must be at least 15-20 pages long. Each step must be completed on time, or you will face a sanction. If you do not submit steps A, B, or C on time you will not receive credit for that step. The point of the exercise is to get you to think about the reading, to develop analytical skills, and to prepare you for in-class discussions.
Limit is one essay per week.
You get to pick the reading selection that you will consider. I will collect the essays, read them, and record in my central record-keeping facility that you have completed the writing assignment. These essays will not receive an individual grade. Rather, the number of essays that you complete will determine your grade. As noted above, I will accept no unexcused late essays.
