Remove the previous essay and rough drafts from your folder before you turn in each new paper. Save each essay and all rough drafts. An assignment will be considered late if it is not handed into me at the beginning of the class period. Putting essays in my mailbox or under my office door involves the risk that they may become lost. You should make a copy of any paper that is not handed into the instructor during class time in case there is a problem.
Papers are to be turned in on time.
Your grade will be lowered if your paper is turned in late. On a daily basis you will receive points for your prewriting, drafts, revisions, and editing. For each formal essay, you will receive a grade sheet listing the skills that you will be expected to demonstrate in your work. I will evaluate each skill and give you a page of written comments with a letter grade. A few comments will also be written on your paper itself.
