Students should assume that each class meeting will require at least two hours of homework. In class, students are required to actively participate by offering relevant comments when appropriate. Students will be expected to share ideas and writing, and to listen to other people's ideas and written work. Some of this will be done in small groups. I do not accept late assignments.
Papers are due at the beginning of class.
If a student is ill, the student may send a paper to me with another student, but it is still due at the beginning of class and the student will still be counted absent for that day. A student may, alternatively, email me a final copy of the essay and make arrangments within 24 hours to get me the drafts IF the student has my permission to do so. If you experience a printer failure, you may bring me your paper on a disk, clearly identified with student name and filename, in or Word 97 or compatible software. The student will still be counted absent for that day. All work submitted for this course must be your own and written exclusively for this course.
