A paper must be substantially changed for the better in order for your grade to improve. You are expected to proofread your papers carefully before turning them in, but I don't mind if you make last-minute corrections in handwriting. Papers should be typed with a DARK ribbon and there should be four adequate margins. Double space and avoid fancy types. Do not put your paper in a slick plastic cover.
Handwritten papers are acceptable if easily legible.
Plagiarism will result in a zero for the paper and action as prescribed by university policies on academic honesty. To count, the item must be obviously related to one of the books we are reading, and you must give sufficient information about its location to enable another student to find it. No more than one page double-spaced. No more than two pages double-spaced. Read an autobiography, diary, or the collected letters of a nineteenth-century British person and write a profile of that person.
