All work is due
on the day assigned, except with an extension or an emergency
extension.
Each student is
allowed one emergency extension of exactly twenty-four
hours.
All other
extensions must be requested at least one class period in advance.
No extensions
will be granted for the presentations.
Late work will
receive a zero grade.
Drafts
Bring
drafts to class when requested to do so. They will be
counted either towards your in-class writing grade or your class
participation grade.
I expect you to do
several drafts of your work before handing in a final version and grade
you accordingly.
Comment
thoughtfully on each other's drafts.
If you would like
me to look over your draft and offer comments, contact me, and we will
arrange a meeting.
Paper Format and Other Minutiae
All work must be
grammatically and syntactically correct, and spelled correctly.
Cite all
outside information, ideas, facts, quotations, statistics, etc.
Type or print (on a
printer) all papers.
Include the page
number and your name in the top right corner of all pages.
You may single or
double-space papers.
Use .doc, .docx, or
.rtf formats.
Handing in your Work
I can no longer
accept submissions via e-mail.
For electronic
submissions, bring me a digital copy that I can download.
Work received with
viruses or in an unreadable format will receive a zero.
Keep back-up copies
of everything in case of crashes, hard drive corruption, hungry pets, power
surges, power outages, fires, floods, blizzards, civil unrest, the Blue
Screen of Death, ink shortages, and other miscellaneous disasters.
