You have the option of revising your second major paper for a new grade. This revision will be due by 5 p.m. on Friday, December 16th. (This is the latest possible date that the revision can be submitted.)
If you choose to revise your essay, you must also submit a Revision Memo (1 pg, single-spaced), explaining what feedback you are responding to, and how your revised essay addresses it. I will only read and regrade essays that have Revision Memos accompanying them.
If you revise your essay, you have the opportunity to completely replace your grade (rather than taking an average of the two grades.) Because I’m allowing this, I’m also awarding a grade bonus to the essays that were especially successful on the first final draft, as follows:
If your score was between 3.5 and 3.7 (23 and 26), your grade will go up by one point, and become a 3.6 to a 3.8.
If your score was between 27 and 29, your grade will go up by 2 points, becoming a 4.0.
I advise you not to revise unless you feel certain that you have MP 3 under control. On the other hand, since the POL S 201 Final Exam is comprehensive (meaning, inclusive of the whole quarter), revising MP 2 may be helpful as you study.
