Every two tardies will count as one absence. Late papers will be downgraded one letter grade for each day past the due date. Your rough drafts must also be handed in on time. If a draft is not turned in on the draft due date, the assignment grade will be lowered by one full letter. You will also need to make a copy of your rough draft for each member of your peer editing group.
Revision is an important part of the writing process.
If you don't have the rough draft available for discussion, you will not receive the feedback your need. Computers are available for free use by students at several locations on campus. Corrections made in black or blue ink on the final copy are acceptable and must better than leaving on error. For each essay, you are responsible for handing in an editing sheet with corrections of your grammatical errors. This sheet should be handed in one week after your paper had been returned.
