Spelling and grammar count, but this is an open book, open note, open dictionary exam! If you attend tutoring this Wednesday, you will be given sample promts and I will review your practice answers.

Weekend: At the end of class on Friday, I will give you the take-home portion of the exam. This portion is also open book, open notes, open dictionary. You are encouraged to work with your classmates on the exam; however, this does not mean that you can simply copy answers from another student.
