PROFESSOR REVIEW INTRODUCTION

By now you should have written, revised, personally reviewed and revised, had a peer review your work, and revised your paper again. The paper should be in its final form. To insure that the writing is done, the instructor will review the work. If there are problems, comments will be made based on the grading criteria below. Because this paper should really be done, 30% of your grade will depend on its quality. If for some reason a problem remains, you still have one more opportunity to rewrite. The score on the final paper will count for 40% of the course points. This weight emphasizes the general philosophy of this course which is that writing is a process that includes rewriting. I hope you continue to write and rewrite your papers in college as a matter of habit and pride. If you write professional-quality papers in college, the experience you gain will pay off in your work with improved chances for rapid advancement.
