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.
