I do not accept homework assignments late. If you are late with and essay, I will deduct on full grade for each day it is late. If you put a late essay in my mailbox, you must first ask a member of the English department to date and sign it legibly so I know on what day you turned it in. Essays formats are specified on the criteria sheets. All homework is to be typed.
Rough drafts are acceptable only if they are written on a word processor.
They are due the day of the workshop for each essay. If a word processed rough draft is not present in the classroom on that day, your essay will be marked down one full grade. If you are going to be absent the day a rough draft is due, I must receive written notification from you before class, either by email or by a note in my mailbox. If this falls on one of your first two absences, and if I am notified ahead of time , there will be no penalty. After your two absences, you will lose a grade off your final essay if you miss that class.
