You are required to complete 4 of these during the semester @ 2.5% each.

What is an exercise?

The main focus of English 301 is on the production of an argumentative research paper.

The exercises provide you with a chance to practice various formal requirements for that paper.

TIPS:

DO:

• Be a perfectionist when completing these exercises. I will be a perfectionist when marking them.

DON'T:

• Waste too much time doing them.
• Turn the exercises into mini-essays. In only one of them will you be required to write a single coherent piece of writing; in all of the others, sentences or note form will be sufficient.
• Ignore them. 10% can be the difference between a pass and a fail!!!

Stay focussed. Know what you have to do, and do it. Ask questions if you don't understand.
