If you do not have the paper ready when class begins, please do not submit it later in the day. Attendance and participation are expected of all students. Much of the work in the course will be carried out in class discussion. Missing a class means that you cannot benefit from the comments of other students and that other students cannot benefit from yours. I will take attendance at the beginning of each class.
Late arrivals disrupt class, so please be on time.
Students who arrive late will not receive additional time to complete any activities already begun, such as a reading quiz. It is the responsibility of all students to proofread and edit their own work before it is submitted. Any student who does not exhibit proficiency in editing throughout the semester should not expect to pass the course. All papers should be double spaced. Your name, my name, the course number and section number, and the date should appear in the top left corner of the first page above the centered title.
