To allow for some absences, you are allowed to miss up to three of these writings without penalty. Some of these writings and possibly more will be in the form of email messages. There will be six multiple-choice quizzes covering grammar and reading comprehension, including essays assigned but not covered in class. To allow for some absences, I drop the lowest quiz grade when calculating your grade. On conference days, you will meet with me in my office to discuss your drafts, your progress in the class, and any concerns or questions you might have.
Subsequent conferences are optional unless otherwise announced but are strongly recommended.
Absences and Lateness. Attendance is required. Being 5 minutes late on three occasions or more than 10 minutes late on any one occasion will count as an absence. This would enable us to discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate your education. Computer Use .
