作業說明

Papers:

Paper 1: Article summary.  For more info, see unit 1

Paper 2: Single-source essay. For more info, see unit 3

Paper 3: A research paper, an argument of your choice.  Minimum number of sources, five.  For more info, see unit 4

 

Policies: 

 

1.      Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of another person without acknowledging your source.  Please respect your sources, your audience and yourself and don't fall into this trap (I am a stickler for this).  If I catch a student cheating or committing plagiarism, you will fail the course and may be subject to dismissal or further discipline.  This includes copying other's homework.

2.      You may rewrite all but the last paper to improve the grade.  You must submit the original paper with my comments along with the rewrite.  Rewrites must attempt to solve content and structure problems and not just focus on grammar and spelling.  Correcting those alone will usually do nothing to bring up a grade considerably.

3.      You must stay up-to-date with assignments and papers.  I do not like late work.  It throws off my schedule and annoys me, and the last thing you want is an annoyed teacher!

4.      Make sure you watch all the class videos and view the PPTs before attempting to do assignments.  They contain valuable information you need to do the work!
