Dr. Jennifer Jared/ English 1B / Spring 3
typed and double-spaced, and all rough drafts must be at least three pages in length. You must also bring at least three copies of your rough draft for your peer review groups. If rough drafts are not completed (three pages in length), the grade on your final paper will be lowered by one letter grade. You will turn in a copy of your rough draft to me. Please make a copy for yourself!!
2. Quizzes: I reserve the right to quiz you on any and all material presented or assigned in class. Expect a quiz every class period.
3. Pagers/Beepers/Cell phones: Please turn off all of these before entering the classroom or ensure that they are set in some form of inaudible mode. You are not allowed to leave the classroom to answer the phone. This time is for class. You can call back afterwards. I reserve the right to answer ANY phone calls made to your cell phone during class time.
4. Workshops: In the workshop sections, small groups of students will exchange drafts, read them aloud, and then comment on each paper as a group. We will talk more about this form of peer review further into the semester.
5. Students who need extra help with their writing assignments should visit the Writing Center. 6. I reserve the right to modify the syllabus in any way that I see fit throughout the semester. Be prepared for
changes in the syllabus, depending on how the class develops.
