There will be three revised, 4-6 page formal essays, each of which must show substantial revision, all of which will be included in your portfolio.

These consist of anywhere between weekly and bi-monthly 1 to 4 page writing assignments that will be done in response to issues in our text and may be used as significant steps toward or even drafts of the major essay assignments. There is usually no redrafting of these assignments unless directed to do so by the instructor.

There will be two to three in-class essays written in blue books, unless otherwise instructed, (you choose which one counts for inclusion in your portfolio). These cannot be made up if missed.
