If an NC is received a second semester it is averaged into your QPA as an F. Final grades for this course will be assessed by your percentage of points. Short pieces have due dates for drafts and will be given letter grades before portfolio is due to give you a feel for college grading and the amount of additional revision needed. Only portfolio points will count toward final grade, however. Absences beyond three will be excused only if documentation from a dean or doctor is provided. All papers must be computer printed unless pre-arrangements are made.
Papers are to be turned in at the beginning of class on the date due.
You are to keep a series of bluebooks, sequentially numbered, for written responses to readings, discussions, films, and lectures. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If you submit any work which is not the product of your own study and efforts, you will receive a grade of F for that work and perhaps for the course. This course requires six formal writings .
