Electronic Submission
Instructions for papers assume drafts, peer reviews, and final drafts submitted for grading are PAPER copies. However, whenever practical, we will use ELECTRONIC copies only: Instead of bringing paper copies of a draft for your peer reviewers to class, you will e-mail an attachment to your peer reviewers, and we will then meet in a computer lab for peer review where the papers (with reviewer comments) can be viewed on your computer screen (bring your copy on a flash drive or store it in your e-mail where you can get to it). Then you will make revisions and send the final draft to the TA for us to grade.
... SO: you will need to appropriately reinterpret instructions to "staple" your paper, or attach items to the front or back of your paper, or bring 2 copies to class, etc. You also may be able to ignore instructions to resubmit a previous draft or comment sheet... the TAs and I will have those things stored on our computers till the end of the semester.
