HELPFUL LINKS
THE IMPORTANCE OF
Your instructor wants you to not just finish but do well!
From past experience it has been seen that students who put off their assignments, who don't keep to deadlines, more often do not finish their course successfully.
Therefore, you are required to do the work on deadline.
While each date is fixed, you can send your work early. It is critical that you send your thesis statements and any other work leading up to your full essay. Those steps are required, but hey also help assure you are on track to complete your essays correctly.
