Through evaluating your input and our progress, I reserve the right to amend and change the syllabus, reading schedules, assignments and quizzes in this course.

It is your responsibility to make sure you finish the assignment early, so that if you run into problems, get sick, or break your leg, you can still turn in the paper on time.

Vague and muddled writing is usually the result of a lack of effort in thinking through your ideas carefully. Spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors will significantly reduce your grade.
