The degree of effort involved in the paper is important. In other words, the paper should look like you have spent a great deal of time on it. The originality of the paper. I am looking for innovative ideas and evidence that you have thought deeply about your sources and synthesized their information. Any papers that are late will suffer a penalty.
Students are responsible for keeping a copy of their paper.
Note that the same policies apply to the midterm as the final concerning missing it or being late for the exam. The same criteria will also be used to grade the midterm which will consist of short and longer essays. The final exam normally will be a combination of short and longer essay questions. Handwriting should be legible or you may be called in to read the exam to the instructor. Lateness to exams is the responsibility of the student and no extra time is guaranteed.
