Extractions: Evaluation of the Essay A s soon as is humanly possible after you have turned in an essay or essay test, your instructor will read it several times, mark it, put a grade on it, and return it to you to see. The process may be painful to you, especially if you are unaccustomed to having your writing evaluated by college standards. Please accept the comments of your instructor as constructive criticism which is intended to help you do better in the future. Hard work and practice on your part and on the part of your instructor should lead to results of which you both will be proud. The instructor bases 70% of the essay grade (or of the essay portion of an hour test) on the general content of the essay under the headings of substance unity organization transition , and style Mechanics , including spelling, punctuation, and grammar, determine 30% of your essay grade. How much these matters count is explained in the Presbyterian College Evaluation Guide for Essays below. If you have problems with grammar and mechanics, make an appointment for a conference on editing in the Presbyterian College Writing Center in Neville 206 (phone 7083). Bring a graded paper or better yet a draft of your next paper in progress. Tutors can help you learn to recognize and corrrect the types of errors you make.

http://www.reg.niu.edu/gradcat/98_99/grad019.htm

Extractions: It is the responsibility of students to know and observe all regulations and procedures relating to the program they are pursuing, as well as those of the university and Graduate School. In no case will a regulation be waived or an exception granted because students plead ignorance of, or contend that they were not informed of, the regulations or procedures. Questions on regulations and their interpretation pertaining to studies at the graduate level should be addressed to the office of the dean of the Graduate School. Students planning to graduate should familiarize themselves with the dates relating to application for graduation and other pertinent deadlines. (See the Graduate School Calendar , copies of which may be obtained from the Graduate School.) It is necessary to apply for graduation by the specified deadline in order to graduate in a particular term, whether or not the student plans to attend the commencement ceremonies. Students must satisfy the degree requirements of the catalog in force during the term for which they have been admitted to and begin course work in a degree program; or they may, with the consent of their advisers, meet graduation requirements by complying with the degree requirements of a later catalog. Students readmitted to a degree program must meet degree requirements of the catalog in force at the time of the later admission (or of a subsequent catalog, as provided above). Aside from degree requirements, all students are subject to the regulations and policies stated in the catalog currently in force. Exceptions to regulations contained in the

Extractions: General Writing Tips Be sure to adjust your page settings and follow MLA directions for the heading (your name, my name, course number, and due date in the upper left corner) and the header (last name, space, and page number in the upper right corner use the header tool in Word) as well as the essay all in double space, 12-point font with one-inch margins and left justification. I recommend Times New Roman or Arial for a professional appearance. Do not use full justification; it causes kerning (spacing) problems. Study the Essay Format lecture. Also be sure you have an intriguing, centered title (but leave it alone; no quotes, underlining, or other special effects; this is not yet a published essay by you). Since the title is the first piece of writing the reader encounters from you, you want to capture his/her attention but also reward the reader with an essay that flows from that title. If you have problems coming up with a title, then leave it blank and wait for an interesting idea or phrase to arise as you write the body of your paper. You may decide later it should be your title.
