Please call ODS at 740-366-9441 to discuss your needs and the procedures for getting accommodations.

General policies and Grading system: ** Wikipedia is not a credible source and will not be accepted as a source for any paper.

Essays: Students must keep work in progress and completed work saved in students’ school Google drives. It is wise to also have major work saved elsewhere as well. Keep all of your hard copies, including drafts. All work must be typed in MLA format in double-spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font with one-inch margins. See my MLA style formatting tutorial on our class Moodle page for reference. Rough drafts are self-edited and peer-reviewed before students complete final copies.

Homework assignments, papers, etc. must be turned in on the designated class due date. If you cannot print or upload an assignment at home, you are responsible for making sure you have done so at school or have found other resources to complete the assignment in time.

Late Policy: Unless otherwise specified, all assignments are due at the beginning of class on the given due date. Work submitted after this time can only earn up to half credit. Late homework will only be accepted one day late.

Daily: Participation and Daily assignments consist of a variety of tasks. In order to develop skills effectively, it is the responsibility of the student to record and keep track of due dates, participate in all discussions, and complete all assignments on time. Students are responsible for assigned readings and course content. Some of these tasks involve individual steps leading to a larger product, such as prewriting, research, drafts, and edits for an essay. Other daily tasks consist of grammar reviews, reading selections, vocabulary exercises, annotations of texts, and fluency writing.
