Responsibility, Flexibility, and Due Dates You will see on the course schedule that we have much work to do for every class. The success of this course depends on your having prepared for each class meeting and your being able to participate meaningfully and responsibly in class activities. This is not a lecture course. We will all be responsible for generating, maintaining, and managing meaningful interaction and activities, in small groups, as a whole class, and electronically, on the WWW and via Email. Although I want you to have the independence to be responsible, I also know that this course will be most effective for all of us if we complete assignments and activities when they are scheduled, especially during the invention and revision stages of our work.
Work is due when it is scheduled.
And my experience over the years has shown that your performance will suffer substantially, too. In other words, unless you engage seriously and meaningfully in the assignments and activities for this course, you will not do well. Please be sure you understand the consequences of the choices you make this semester if you are not completing work as it is scheduled. I encourage you to take advantage of this service when possible. We will discuss the several ways that the Tutoring Center can contribute to your development and success as a writer.
