I've read () today.

out this course. You may know that last semester about 50 percent of the students enrolled in my course failed it. Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, 1 expect my students to follow certain rules of formality.

Unfortunately, students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those which they may feel to be unnecessary. For example, I ask that each of your papers be typed and centered on the paper correctly. I count off points for various kinds of mistakes. A misspelled word will cost you 5 points. You've lost 25 points if you've misspelled five words. I do not accept late papers. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Your assignment for Wednesday is to read Hemingway's short story on page 55. Friday will be the last class day of this week, so you can write a short in-class theme for me then. That's all for today. I'll see you on Wednesday.
