Policies for English 281

1. Please resist the temptation to do email during class, above all when someone is addressing the class. The severely addicted may require special handling.
2. Show your ignorance and share your knowledge. Nobody knows everything.
3. Grading:

   there are four major assignments that together make up 70% of your grade. The first two are worth 10 points, the last two 25, each. They are due by 10pm on the date assigned and will not be graded until their links and images are all working. Points will be deducted for lateness as well as bad writing and bad spelling. I will respond to the work by email.

   The remaining 30% will be based on class participation, which includes attendence, participation, and helpfulness to others, exercises done in class, and two other major tasks:

   • Comments on drafts: the two final papers will be submitted first as drafts, and each person must post comments on two of the drafts on the Message Board.
   • In addition, over the course of the quarter, you should post links to at least three pages with interesting things on them that others might benefit from (i.e., want to steal). Your link should say why you find the page noteworthy.
