ABOUT REVISIONS...
IF YOU SUBMITTED A ROUGH DRAFT FOR OUT OF CLASS ESSAY 1, YOU MAY REVISE IT IF YOU WISH.
FOR OUT OF CLASS ESSAY 2, ALL STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO REVISE THIS ESSAY ONCE YOU RECEIVE IT BACK, GRADED. I AM NOT ACCEPTING ANY ROUGH DRAFTS FOR OUT OF CLASS ESSAY 2.
ALL CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL MUST BE HIGHLIGHTED ON THE REVISION. You must submit the revision along with the original graded essay with my comments. If you are still not pleased with your earned score after receiving the revision back from me, you may continue to revise AN essay until you are pleased. Additional revisions do not have a due date—it just must be submitted by the last day of the course, Wednesday, December 10th.
