New Policy on Grading

Classes:
I need you to keep your written work short. Here is my policy starting with next week's work.
--Your assignment should only be one double-spaced, 12 point font page (300 or so words).
--If your assignment is two pages long, I will read the second page and grade the paper, but I will only correct the mistakes on the first page.
--If your assignment is over two pages, I will not accept it.
I will look at any assignment, no matter how long it is, if you bring it to my office hours, but I won't accept more than two pages to grade alone from now on.

It could be quite difficult to write both analysis and conclusion in only one page/about 300 words...

True. The conclusion only needs to be a paragraph, though. If the paper isn't a LOT more than one page, that's fine.

Also, I'm lonely in my office, and this policy is obviously an attempt to get students to come visit me. :-)
