Tentative Semester Outline
This is a very tentative, very broad outline of the semester. It lists the weekly due dates for major assignments only, such as the essays. Your primary source of assignment information should be the weekly plans. In general, since there are four essays due during the semester, you can expect a finished essay to be due every three or four weeks. For each of these essays, you will write a rough draft, two peer response exercises, and a writer's postscript. Also, you can expect three or four reading and responding exercises from the textbook that will be associated with each of the four essays. Last, you can expect a grammar quiz every three or four weeks.
