Write clearly, number your pages, and be sure to read the questions carefully. Students should get full credit on these, but it is possible to lose points if you:

• do not write at least two pages of text (12 pt font, 1” margins).
• write ungrammatically or unclearly.
• do not number pages
• show little understanding (or misunderstanding) of the theory.
• show that you, in fact, have not completed your readings for the week by neglecting to mention relevant information from your readings or by just making stuff up.
• submit your assignment late.
• fail to submit your assignment (remember, you must get a reply from me to know that your assignment has been received. If you don’t, it’s your responsibility to check to make sure that I did receive your assignment).

If an assignment is unacceptable (generally due to poor writing or poor demonstrated knowledge of the theory), I will return it to you ungraded. You may return it for partial credit no later than the following Monday by 4:00 p.m. In addition, if you are ever dissatisfied with your grade on an assignment, you may redo it for 75% credit (again, it will be due by the following Monday).

Note: Keep in mind that this is a three credit graduate level class, and that readings are assigned accordingly. Make sure you plan ahead—some weeks require a bit more reading than others.
