Because this course requires engaged discussion and peer review, regular attendance is essential. Late arrival will also lower your participation grade. Early drafts of several essays will be used during in-class peer review sessions, to be held throughout the semester. Plan to be an attentive and thoughtful peer respondent. Every member of the class will be subscribed to an e-mail listserv, to which you will post some writing assignments.
Students are responsible for completing all assignments on time.
Failure to complete any one assignment may result in failing the course. Any paper that contains plagiarized material must be given an F at Penn, and some cases will require further action through the Office of Student Conduct, so be careful, and ask me if you have any questions about how to handle a given source. The Writing Center , located on the fourth floor of Bennett Hall, offers help for student writers at any stage in the writing process, from the conception of a thesis to a final revision. Undergraduate Writing Advisors, trained by the Writing Across the University Program, are available evenings Sunday through Thursday, no appointments necessary.
