Warning--Points Deducted

You will be rewarded for your creativity and hard work; but hear me now, I will not accept late papers; in addition I will take away percentage points for the following indiscretions:

  1. -5% for drafts not set up according to MLA style
  2. -10% for not being prepared with a rough draft for instructor and/or on peer review days
  3. -5% for a final draft without invention work and appropriate drafts attached.
