Drafts: For essays and longer assignments, I will check to see that you have partial drafts and rough drafts on the days when they are due, and these will count for participation points. It is important that you bring those assigned partial and rough drafts to class when they are due so that you can take advantage of workshops and feedback to improve your work before the final draft is due. • Final drafts of essays are evaluated, in part, as good faith evidence of each student’s participation in the writing and learning processes. Thus, if the student writer has not brought rough drafts (partial or whole) to class workshops when due, or the student has not talked with me before the day that the final draft is due and produced those drafts, then I reserve the right not to accept the out-of-class essay final draft until these requirements have been met to my satisfaction.
