these assignments very carefully! There are deadlines, and no late
work will be accepted. You'll want to

Optional Essay 4 Rough Drafts and Peer Reviews
Please note: Rough Drafts and Peer Reviews are optional. Although the class ends on Thursday, July 14, I have decided to give you until Sunday, July 17, to submit Essay 4. However, some of you may have vacation plans, etc. and prefer to submit the Final Draft on Thursday, July 14. If this is your preference, you will not be able to fit in a Peer review session. On the other hand, some of you may appreciate the opportunity to have your essay reviewed by your peers. Therefore, I have decided to make peer reviews optional. If you decide to participate in the review session, please observe the following dates and times, so that everyone who wants reviews gets them. Whether you choose to participate in the peer review process or not, the deadline for Essay 4 is Sunday, July 17.
