Unless otherwise directed, papers should be stapled rather than inserted into any type of folder. I am happy to work with any student in the referral process, although a referral is not required to make use of this valuable campus resource. Papers written for this class cannot be used to complete a writing assignment for any other class. Papers previously written also cannot be submitted to complete requirements for this course. Late papers will be penalized at the rate of one letter grade per day.
Papers are due at the beginning of the class period, and penalties are assessed from that point.
All assignments must be completed to pass this course. Plagiarism will result in the immediate failure of this course. Students will write a critical book review of Breaking the News, by James Fallows. Students may wish to consult Writing a Critical Review on the Learning Resources page of my web site. The review should be five pages and is due on October 9.
