Lecture — ENG 111 Essay Grades and Revision Policies
Supplement Lecture Text:
A Passing (P) essay clearly passes all the categories on the rubric. It shows good control in all of the categories of the rubric. Although there may be a few minor problems, the entire essay is generally well-written and clearly and effectively communicates its ideas.
An Almost-Passing (AP) essay shows a combination of strengths and weaknesses on the rubric. There is room for improvement in some rubric categories of the essay and the essay does not consistently communicate its ideas clearly and effectively. An Almost-Pass means the essay is not passing, but it is getting close to being a passing essay. I strongly suggest revising an essay with an AP grade.
A No-Passing (NP) essay shows a serious weakness in at least one category of the rubric, and other categories may need attention, too. The overall quality of the essay is significantly hindered because of these weaknesses.
You cannot revise all the essays in this course; you may only revise 2 of them total. And in order to be eligible for revision the essay must have earned an AP or NP.
Revisions of essays are due one week after the GRADED final draft was handed back to you.
I will make revision due dates announcements in our blog and on our Blackboard site.

I like that I have another try on perfecting my paper.

I think it is great that we get a second chance on two of our essays.
