Rules for Revising:
All students are given the opportunity to revise a paper.
Revising a paper can offer you as a student a better understanding of how to
strengthen your writing skills!
Remember writing is a skill that requires practice!
Excellent scholars and writers are always working hard to develop and grow as writers and thinkers!
In order to be fair and reasonable, rules for revising are as follows:
- If you receive a grade lower than a B you have the opportunity to revise your paper.
- For example, you must receive a B- or less to be given the opportunity to revise.
- You may not revise your paper if you receive a B.
- The highest grade that you can receive once you have revised your paper is a B.
- This ensures that students who receive a B on the first draft are graded fairly.
- A papers are exceptional papers.
- A papers go above and beyond.
- A grades are given to students who show exceptional and exemplary work.
- The weighting system is designed so that all students have
- the opportunity to progress and therefore the grading scale reflects percentages that allow for such progression.
- If you are interested in handing in your paper early
- and would like to go over it with me ahead of time, you are more than welcome to do so.
- If you decide to revise your paper you are required to visit the Writing Center.
- Student revised papers must be accompanied by a Writing Center form.
- The tutor at the writing center will provide you with this form and you
- are asked to attach it to your revised draft. Feel free to stop in and make an appointment.
- Tutors are there from 10am to 6pm to aid you in the writing process.
- The best approach you can take in order to receive an excellent grade
- in this class is to write outlines, first drafts and then proofread for grammar and spelling
- before you hand your papers in.
- EDIT, EDIT, EDIT!!!!
- Works Wonders!
- I would like to remind
- ALL of my students that Participation is worth 15% of your overall grade.
- If you are a B or B+ student, you have the opportunity to receive an A in the class just by showing up everyday and bringing something to the table.
