However, attendance in this class is crucial and I will expect you to be present and on time for each class. There are no excused absences, and missing classes will compromise the class participation portion of your grade. All drafts and assignments must be completed for you to pass this course. The Writing Center is a valuable resource and tutors are available for any student to receive feedback on written work. You will be required to visit the Writing Center at least once during the drafting process of each essay.
Help is given on a first come, first served basis, so be prepared to wait.
Using a word processor is vital for this course. There are computer consultants on duty in the Computer Center to assist you if you need help. Plan on photocopying originals for workshop. You must also get yourself an email account. I will frequently keep in touch with students via email, so please get in the habit of checking your email regularly.
