All essays go through a process of drafting. All final drafts must be accompanied by all previous draft(s) and by a metatext at the end.  Essays will not be accepted without previous drafts and metatexts. All essays will be typed and double-spaced, following MLA format (see Bedford Handbook, page 119).   Essays turned in late will be docked one full letter grade for every day late.
