Editing requires skills that can be developed and improved only through practice. You will be required to do much editing in this course. To help you develop, I will evaluate your work closely. These time-consuming critiques are for your benefit, to help you learn and improve. If you ignore them, you will not survive the course.
Personal integrity is an essential part of good journalism.
Therefore, I expect all work done in this class to be your own. This is due at the end of class on the last day of class. If you miss a class editing exercise, you get not an F, but a zero. There is a difference. Make-ups will not be given.
