Each of our 4 formal papers will go through a two-draft process. You are expected to do your best on each draft. Failure to take seriously the first draft will mean a reduction in your final grade for a given paper. Late first drafts mean a 1/2 letter reduction on a final draft grade; late final drafts are subject to a full letter grade reduction per day.
