Some advice (because I care):




And like I said in class, as in life, a positive "first impression" always earns extra points. When I look at some papers (which might be wrinkled or smeared with ink) and there is: no name, no title, no date (or some of these are penciled in afterwards) - it is NOT a good "first impression." One of you even tried to hand in an essay written in pencil. This is 10% of your grade. Not a "wake up in the morning and type out some random crap" kind of essay where you forget your name and student info. IF and WHEN you go to university, AVOID at all costs these "little" over-sites, because they may earn you a D or an F or (if you are lucky) a C. 5 minutes late to your professors office to hand in a term paper? "Sorry. It's past the deadline. No grade." Seriously. It happens. So, my advice: BE METICULOUS in all aspects of life. Take pride in your work. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Serve your essays to your teachers on a shining silver platter that says "This is QUALITY work, teacher. I deserve an A++. And it's handed in a FULL DAY early! I'm awesome!" That's my rant for today. Also title your work creatively. "Review: Earthlings" is boring.
