Conferences with Professor Simpson

You will be required to meet with me at least three times during the term, including an introductory conference at the beginning of the term. (Naturally, you are welcome to consult me more than three times.) If all goes well, this should be a pleasant requirement to fulfill; I just want to let you know the conferences are coming. All I ask--nay, beg--is that you show up when we agree that we'll meet. If you really really can't do so, please email me to let me know not to wait for you.

Conferences with the Writing Mentor

You are required to meet with the writing mentor at least twice during the term: once to discuss how you have revised your sonnet explication and once as you prepare to write your paper prospectus. These conferences are mandatory, and missing them will affect your course grade. You may consult the mentors further, for instance, to talk about writing responses, writing exam essays, or refining your approach to academic writing more generally.
