You must demonstrate a higher level of writing skills to receive a higher grade. I recommend that you conference with me for each paper that you are working beyond satisfaction. No exceptions unless you have discussed them with me before class. If you don't have your assignment completed on the day it's due, come to class anyway. Your essay will be considered late whether you're in class that day or not.
Late homework receives no credit.
Late essays will be recorded and your final grade will be affected. Please do not schedule conferences during other classes. You are welcome to schedule conferences with me at other times as well. Direct quotes require quotation marks, but summarizing and paraphrasing of a source must also be identified within your work. Failure to acknowledge outside sources is considered plagiarism and that is a serious offense at the university.
