I respond to each essay during a one-on-one conference with the writer. You are solely responsible for making the time to meet with me. If you choose not to meet with me about a draft, you will lose 5% of the value of the assignment from your final draft score.
Curving the grades in this class is NOT possible.
Rounded grades will ONLY be considered for students who have a 59% after the Final Essay is graded.
If you ask for your grade to be rounded, make sure you are ready to produce your composition notebook. ONLY students who have ALL of the following will be considered for a rounded grade:
1) a COMPLETED composition notebook (ALL writing prompts completed and notes taken for every day)
2) NO skipped assignments
3) NO unexcused tardies or absences
4) ALL Praxis points
Since the class is only out of 100 points, it should be easy for you to monitor your progress and make smart decisions so that you will not need a rounded grade in order to pass.
