Directions for Draft Turn In

I'm very much looking forward to rough drafts this weekend!  Please keep the following in mind as you prepare to turn in your draft:

1.  Drafts are due by regular class time (that is 8 am for the early class and 9:15 for the later one) on Thursday morning.

2.  I will acknowledge successful receipt of your drafts, but please give me until late Thursday afternoon to do so. 

3.  In the body of your email, please answer the following questions:  1)  Is this draft complete?  If it is not, what is it missing?  2)  What problems, difficulties or questions do you have at this point?  3)  Are you missing any research?  If so, what do you think you are missing?  Please be as specific as you possibly can be. 

4.  Do not submit a draft that does not have a completed works cited attached to it.  Please also do not send me a draft without page numbers--this makes my commenting much more difficult.  I may choose to send your paper BACK to you if it comes without page numbers.

5.  In an attempt to be fair, I won't send comments out to anyone over email.  Everyone will receive comments back at the same time, during class, on Monday, March 4th.

6.  If you are done or mostly done with your draft, take the weekend off.  I will probably be back in the office on Friday, but I'm going to request the weekend off from meeting with any of you so that I can concentrate on commenting on drafts. 

7.  I recognize that our current schedule runs out on Thursday--I'll be providing you with a schedule for the last two weeks of class on Monday.

Be nice on Monday--it is going to be a little bit of a rough weekend!
