Absences Come to class. ALL of the classes. We will be covering much material every day, and you really will miss out if you aren't there. On the sixth and seventh absence you lose a letter grade. Excessive absences will also be reported to the Dean.
Papers are due at the beginning of class.
Late papers will be penalized 10 points a day. Find a way to get your paper here. Learning is an active process, and what you do affects the quality of your education. Your job as a student is to read the literature, to think about the literature, to discuss the literature in class, and to write intelligently in response to the literature. If you do those four things, you will find yourself a better reader, thinker, and writer at the end of the term.
