You probably won't revise a paper that often, but don t ignore this part of the process. Allow time to do it before turning a paper in, and be prepared to revise again when I return your papers. The best writing evolves from good editing and revising, and they take time. We ll also spend time reading other students papers so you can get more perspective on the writing process and develop your ability to critique. Don t panic if one of the assignments causes you trouble or is so bad that you feel you ll flunk.
