This course, thus, involves more than just producing a set of written documents. The course is designed to create an environment where you can be successful and where you can be autonomous. This environment is enhanced by basing the course on computer-intensive work. It is an environment that requires you to be an active and responsible participant in the learning process in order to be fully successful. Any student who, because of a disabling condition, may require some special arrangements in order to meet course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible so that the necessary accommodations can be made.
Students are responsible for their own lives.

Class participation means having something pertinent to say in online discussion, having document drafts for Peer Editing prepared before class, and responding thoughtfully to classmates' writing. After that, each absence counts as two points off your final course average.
