Dr. Tolhurst Course Description English 102 is designed to give students in all academic fields the opportunity to strengthen their writing, reading, and analytical skills. Additional absences will lower your participation grade. If you are unprepared for class or workshop, this will likewise lower your participation grade. If you must miss class because of participation in a sport or other activity, the first 4 absences will use up your 'free' absences, but additional ones will be excused through your supervisor's letter. Deadline Policy Timely completion of reading assignments and written work is also required.
Papers are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
If you do so, we will agree together on an appropriate deadline. If you are out of town the day a paper is due, you are still responsible for getting your work to me by 4 PM on the due date. Absence due to illness will be excused only with a physician's note. All papers must be typed or word-processed. Grading Your grade will be based on the formula below, with some allowance made for your improvement and effort during the semester.
