PAPERS (37.5 %)
Everyone will write two 4-5
page papers, on topics assigned by your discussion leader. These
two 4-5 page papers will count as 2/3 of your total paper grade.
The writing assignments that constitute the remaining 1/3 of
your paper grade will be determined by your discussion leader.
Some discussion leaders may ask you to write a third 4-5 page
paper. Others may ask you to write a number of shorter papers,
the total length of which will add up to 4-5 pages. Your discussion
leader will let you know about the specific assignments for your
section.
You may rewrite either of the two mandatory
4-5 page papers. Your discussion leader will tell you when the
rewrites are due. Your discussion leader will also tell you whether
you may rewrite the papers that constitute the remaining 1/3
of your paper grade. On any rewrite your final grade for the
paper will be the average of the original grade and the grade
for the revised paper.
