In-class writing assignments and tests on literature.
Rules of grammar and spelling must be applied in all essays. Incorrect grammar and
spelling will lower your grade. (It is helpful to consult a dictionary and to bring one
with you to class.) Revision of projects is strongly encouraged. Failing projects may be
re-written and re-submitted for consideration at the discretion of the professor. All
projects, assignments, revisions, and tests must be completed.
Bring an extra disk with you to each class. Most projects are submitted in both hard
and HTML (disk) formats. Be sure your disks are labelled with project title, your name,
and the date.
Grade will be based on: in-class assignments, class participation (in both the actual
and virtual classrooms), tests, and projects. Students are expected to improve over the
semester. The final project and final examination will have heaviest weight on the final
grade.
