Students will complete two 4- to 5-page essays on assigned topics. You will compose your essays in two stages, writing a draft in class, receiving comments from me, and revising the draft for a grade. As part of the midterm essay sequence, you will attend a short conference with me; final essay conferences are optional. In addition to speaking with me, you can seek feedback from consultants at the English Department Writing Center, located in Padelford B-12.

Please submit essays on 8.5" by 11" paper, titled, paginated, typed and double-spaced, with one-inch margins. In the upper left hand corner of the first page, include your name, the course number, the assignment, and the due date; this information should be single-spaced. You may use a 10- or 12-point Arial, Bookman, Century Schoolbook, or Times New Roman font for your papers. You may submit revised essays in hard copy or via the course E-submit tool.
