These articles and cultural objects are just as important for this course as the books you buy at the bookstore. Arriving in class without the materials we use in the day s discussion is as good as not showing up at all. You must print out the readings for the week and bring them to class. Again, I ve designed these paper assignments to helps us reach the goals for the class. More on these papers and their due-dates later.
Papers lose one letter grade for every day they are late.
Because all writers every time believe they could do a better job on their paper only if they had more time. Good writers know that if they try to crank out the article right on deadline, more than likely they will produce slop. So they think ahead and pace themselves. Even on short papers, plan your topic, your outline and your rough draft and give yourself deadlines for each. This will require at least one well-developed paragraph.
