Most are distressed if they lose 25 points for misspelling a single proper noun, the traditional penalty for an error of this type. We hope to instill a respect for detail by applying professional standards in this basic test of a writer's ability to record facts. Students diagnosed with a disability that prevents them from catching errors of this type should talk to the instructor. Students who consider the demands for accuracy unfair, should consider an occupation that does not involve writing or an employer who does not require quality work. By-lines Students are expected to write for the campus newspaper.
Extra credit is given for by-lines.
