Instructor: J. Cheney
We will have regular tests, five writing assignments and a
comprehensive final exam.
Writing
Grade: To give you practice and feedback on your writing, you will
write five one-page essays. The class will be divided into two groups, and each
group will have a different due date for the writing assignments. Be sure to
learn the due dates for your group.
|
Group One's due dates (at the beginning of each class): March 4, March 18, April 1, April 22, and May 6. | |
|
Group
Two's due dates (at the beginning of each class): March 11, March 25, April
8, April 29, and May 13. |
Each
assignment is worth twenty points:
| Formatting: double-spaced, one-inch margins on all sides, titled, word processed in a 12 font | 4 points |
| Evidence of your having
used an electronic spell check and grammar check and that you have
proofread your own work. Since this is a grammar class in which you are learning to be somewhat independent in your use of grammar, please do not have anyone else proofread your writing for you. |
4 points |
| Submitted on time: at the beginning of class or earlier via e-mail. Even if you are going to be absent, you are responsible for submitting your work on time. Sending it through e-mail is the best way to submit your work if you are going to be absent from class. No late work is accepted. | 4 points |
| Application of rules of usage and grammar: Errors in grammar rules that we have studied will result in a loss of points. Subtract one point for each grammatical error. | 8 points |
Your final grade is based on the following scale:
90
to 100 percent = A
80
to 89 percent = B
70
to 79 percent = C
60
to 69 percent = D
0
to 59 percent = F
