Evaluations will be based on both class participation and written work. Participation includes reading essays and in-class discussions. Written work includes two formal papers and peer editing reports. A complete draft of each paper will be circulated and then discussed in peer editing sessions. The editors' written comments will be provided to the author and submitted with the final draft.
Rewrites are almost unavoidable.
These are due at the beginning of class the day on which the work will be discussed. These are due at the beginning of the following discussion.
