Students are reminded that fore are assigned and corrected for the following purposes: (1) To accustom | the student to the use of English that | is not only conventionally correct but | easy, idiomatic, and expressive. (2) To encourage in every student a ha- | bit of being careful about syntax, spelling, punctuation capitalization, and handwriting or typing. (3) To | promote sound habits of reading, ob- | serving, reasoning, and planning. It is to be observed that though ordin- ary decency will assure a grade of C, the higher grades require also good matter in good English. RULES For one or more of the following, assign grade D or E. (Note A.) 1. For nonsense, confusion of thought or general lack of con- nection, serious disregard of special instructions, or inexcus- able inaccuracy in matters of fact. | 2.

For unmistakeable evidence that the student does not know | in practice the difference be- | tween one sentence and two sen- tences or between a sentence and , a subordinate group. 4. For a serious number of inac- | curacies in the use of words. 5. For inexcusably slovenly or il- legible manuscript. Note A. If content is noticeably | For mere freedom from the faults | listed under grades D and E, assign grade C, even if the content is ordin- | For respectable content and some | flexibility of style in addition to me- | chanical and grammatical correctness, | Fo distinctly good content and ex- pression in addition to grammatical assign grade C plus, B, or B plus. | and mechanical accuracy, assign grade | A or A plus. | GEO.
