All essays will be professionally graded by the instructor and returned to the student with suggestions on how to improve. If the student improves the essay and resubmits it. The improved essay will be returned to the student on the final day of class and that learner will receive extra credit. Grading these essays is extremely time consuming since I do actually read every single word. I usually spend two hours grading for every one hour of class time. I will endeavor to grade each essay in a timely manner.Grades Offered
Essay prompts for each type of essay will be provided in class. The instructor prefers the essays to be submitted with MS Word or Apple Pages, but will except Google Docs in some situations.
