Rewrites are for remediation for students who received a grade below B-minus, and are at the discretion of the teacher. Students are expected to make more than cosmetic changes and go beyond the specific suggestions I made in my comments, but to engage in self-criticism and some rethinking of the ideas in the essay. Please follow these guidelines:
1. Read comments and any relevant sections of the Paper-Writing Guide (PWG in my comments) carefully.
2. After you've done your best to understand my comments AND done some of your own reflection and thinking about how you could make the paper better, set up a brief meeting with me to clear up any confusion you might still have. You should contact me via email within a week of getting the paper back and list all your free periods when we can meet.
3. Meet with me.
4. Turn in the rewrite within one week of our meeting along with the original paper with my comments on it.
The rewrite grade will be averaged with the original paper's grade up to a maximum grade of B-. I reserve the right to decline rewrite requests, especially during the last three weeks of the term. Time often does not allow me to return rewritten papers before the end of the term. In that case you will get them back during the following term in your PO box.
