You are required to have backup copies of all outside papers, and to be able to produce such copies when requested. All formal papers must be completed in order to pass this class. Please come talk to me if you are having a problem with a particular assignment. Papers are resubmitted within two weeks of their return to you. They are accompanied by a one-page summary of revisions AND all previous drafts and working materials, including the scoring sheet and any outside source material.
Revisions are substantive, thoughtful, and effective.
You should set aside a separate section of your journal for CM where you will keep a list of characters, brief notes on plot, and responses to other questions which we will discuss in more depth in the coming weeks. There will be numerous reading quizzes, usually given at the beginning of class, so make sure you have read the material and are on-time. There will also be a three-hour final exam at the end of the semester, which will cover material from the reading and from class discussion. You will need to synthesize and apply what you have learned all semester. I will excuse absences only in the event of religious holidays, illness, or major personal crisis.
