3. begin to perceive the act of writing as means of generating knowledge and gaining entrance into specific writing communities. 4. be able to generate and continually refine a controlling thesis statement that provides you with direction and focus in completing a particular writing task. Written assignments will concentrate on your responses to class readings and ideas generated in class. These papers should be 4 to 5 pages, word processed. Points will be subtracted if you do not have rough draft for your workshop date.
Revisions are due on dates assigned.
Make an appointment to see me before you do the revision so we can discuss it in conference. The original assessed paper must accompany the revision. Late papers will automatically be graded down 1 COSM letter per class period. If you must miss class you are still responsible for work due. Send your paper with a classmate or bring it by the LAC before class.
