WRITING AND EDITING ASSIGNMENTS
All writing assignments must be on 81/2” by 11” white paper, typed with 12-point font only. Use 1” margins all around and number all pages. For multiple pages, staple in the upper left hand corner. Skip the cover page and put your name in the upper left hand corner with the course number.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class. A late assignment is anything later than the beginning of class on the due date. It would be advantageous to turn in partially completed assignments rather than none at all since, there will be partial credit for partially completed work. Writing assignments may be sent via e-mail to sshlisky@peralta.edu as long as they reach me by the beginning of the class on the date due.
All late assignments will be marked down by 20% for each week it is late For example, a paper handed in on time will count for 5 points toward your total grade; one week late the most points you can expect will be 4; two weeks late 3 etc.
