These responses will be part of your final portfolio at the end of term. The final portfolios are due during the last week of class. They will include rewritten versions of 3 of your best papers. For an example of proper format, see pages 384 ff. in your Handbook . Please don't waste trees by starting halfway down the first page.
More pages is almost always better.
I encourage collaboration at all stages on the papers, or any other work. If you wish to submit a paper jointly, each person should submit at least the same number of pages that they would regularly contribute, though each writer's pages don't need to be consecutive. You might especially think about this for your final projects, because you could undertake a more comprehensive project, and more hands make lighter work. All work must be completed to pass the course. This includes everything in the final portfolio, as well as writing group responses.
