Syllabus
If you are used to whipping off papers the night before they’re due, running them quickly through the computer’s spellchecker, handing them in full of high-school errors and sentences that make no sense and having the professor accept them, “because the ideas are good,” please be informed that I draw no distinction between the quality of one’s ideas and the quality of those ideas’ verbal expression, and I will not accept sloppy, rough-draftish, or semiliterate college writing. Again, I am absolutely not kidding.
