PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND QUOTE YOUR PRICE See attached I’m currently taking my last English course here at Baruch college but I cannot concentrate. So I want to have a qualified someone who can do my whole English class for me during this summer semester and I will pay the person in full contract. I will send my class syllabus and we can take it from there. In the syllabus, the professor mentioned that we will have to do the following: -Four page research paper, -one presentation and -a final. But I want to have someone whom I will pay as a contract and send him or her all my login information and that person will take control of all my English Business. i will pay for all the books just in case the person taking care of my course don’t have it

  • a strong thesis statement
  • appropriate textual citations
  • contextual and intertextual evidence for their ideas

3. One Final Exam

 

Course Requirements

 

READING AND DISCUSSING WHAT YOU HAVE READ: You will be expected to come to class every day prepared to discuss what you have read.  This is not a lecture course: regular attendance is required and active class participation is required. GROUP PRESENTATIONS: Each student will teach some aspect of an assigned topic to the class in a group format. This may involve dramatic readings, critical commentary, and the presentation of online materials.

 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 

Grading will be based on class participation (attendance counts!), homework assignments, writing assignments.

 

All papers are due at the beginning of class on the due date.  Late papers cannot be accepted. Failure to deliver can reduce your grade. Paper and other work submitted remotely.

 

Class participation is important. Students who come to class unprepared and habitually late will see their grade reduced by a half a point. If you miss more than two classes, your final grade will be adversely affected. Because this is a summer intensive, four absences will greatly reduce the student’s ability to pass the course. Keep a copies of all essays and assignments that are returned to you. All graded assignments are reviewed at the end of the semester.

 

Grades and Grading:

A, A-: Excellent.  B+, B, B-: Very Good.  C+, C: Satisfactory.  C-, D+, D, D-: Poor.  F: Failure.

90-93=A-; 94-96=A; 97-100=A+; 80-83=B-; 84-86=B; 87-89=B+; 70-73=C-; 74-76=C; 77-79=C+; 60-63=D-; 64-66=D, 67-69=D; anything below 60 = F.

Note: A B is considered a very good grade. Please see grading rubric on Blackboard.

 

Plagiarism = Failure! Familiarize yourself with the rules of documentation in the MLA Handbook.

 

It is a good idea to get to know several of your classmates. You are responsible for obtaining all assignments and submitting them on time, even if you missed a class.

Past experience has also shown that it will be helpful for you to discuss and review your assignments with your classmates.

 

Note that we may not necessarily discuss in class all the works listed for a particular class meeting. The syllabus is subject to change.

 

Get a notebook (pocket size, cheap)—observe things—take notes!
