Although some assignments in The Longman Handbook are already listed in the Assignment List, additional readings will be assigned as needs dictate. Journals allow you to capture ideas while they are fresh in your head, even if they aren't useful right away, and they can be a very useful source for paper topics. Journals will be collected regularly to insure you are taking full advantage of their usefulness. For this reason, I request using a threering binder and loose leaf paper, so that you need only hand in the most recent entries and can keep the rest of the journal for use during the following week. Writing Assignments .
Students are responsible for all assignments, even if they are absent.
Failure to hand in a Rough Draft on the due date will result in the loss of a full letter grade on the final paper. Student-Teacher Conferences . There are two conference dates scheduled, attendance at which is mandatory. In addition, other conferences with individual students will be held throughout the semester as they are needed. Discussion of Grading Policy First and foremost, papers will be analyzed for content.
