Grading

+ Your final grade depends on two major essays. If you complete them both, you get an 'A'.
+ You will not be penalized if your essays stink, so long as they meet the minimum requirements set forth in the prompts.
+ Additionally, you must meet with me at least twice per essay for cooperative editing.
+ Any homework apart from these essays will have no impact on your grade.
+ Students who are caught plagiarizing instantly fail and are disciplined by the college.
