APPENDIX II: Dr. McCormick’s Voluntary Paper Revision Guidelines

Any student may re-write a passing essay in hopes of raising their grade.  I recommend consulting with me during office hours and/or with a tutor in the Writing Center.

To be resubmitted, revised papers must:

1. demonstrate substantial change.  Papers where teacher’s corrections are merely transcribed – or those that offer only minimal edits – will not receive higher grades.
2. be attached to the corrected original copy with teacher’s marks.
3. be turned in to professor within two weeks of the date it was returned to the student or by the final day of class (whichever is earlier).
4. include an additional 250-or-more word typed description of the changes made and the rationale for these edits.  If they failed to incorporate any of the teacher’s suggestions into the revision, students should address the reason(s) they chose not to do so.
5. exclude no more than 2 of the corrections on the original for grammar, syntax, spelling, etc.

There are no exceptions to these conditions
