Writing Assignments

A. Format for Assignment Submission                                                     All assignments must be typed (12 point font), double-spaced, and stapled. Please put your name, your seminar leader’s name, and your seminar letter on every assignment. You are responsible for keeping a copy of all assignments you hand in. Electronic media (e.g. fax or email) are NOT acceptable forms of submission. Any exceptions (e.g., Hypertext Essay, E-Portfolio) are indicated in assignment descriptions. If you have questions about a particular assignment, please ask for further explanation.

B. Policy for Late and Missing Assignments                                             You are responsible for completing individual and group assignments on time. All of your daily work must be handed in as a hard copy by you, in person, at the beginning of seminar. Late daily work will not be accepted except in the case of a documented emergency. For other major seminar assignments (citizenship essay, discovery project, hypertext essay), you will be penalized the equivalent of one full letter grade for each day a project is late. Assignments that are overdue by more than one week will not be accepted.

You will be given one “life happens” opportunity in this unit, which you can apply to a daily writing or a major assignment. When used for a major assignment your faculty member will accept that assignment within 24 hours at no penalty.
