PHONE   (203) 392-6733.  Please note.  I do have voice mail.  In the event that I am not in my office to receive your call, please leave your name and number (including area code), the time you called, and the time when you can be reached during the day.

ATTENDANCE POLICY   It is the English Department's policy not to allow more than 3absences for a student in a freshman composition class that meets four times a week.  Any student who is absent for more than 3 classes for whatever reason including illness will not receive credit for the course.

GRADING POLICY   Your grade will be based as follows:  (1) themes--60%; (2) final--20%; (3) class participation (including arriving to class on time)--20%

POLICIES ON PAPERS   Unless I indicate otherwise, all papers should be about 1,000 words in length, typed, and double-spaced.  I will take off points for papers that are sloppy, riddled with spelling and typographical errors, or handed in late (1/2 a letter grade for each class period missed).  In computing your final grade, I will take into account improvement  in your writing skills developed during the course of the semester.

If you have comments or suggestions,  at florey@scsud.ctstateu.edu (school) or  florey@snet.net (home).  Home is generally best, because I look at my email more frequently there.
