There are two versions of this class meeting at the same time in the same place--Gordon Rule and Non-Gordon Rule. The Gordon Rule students must write a 3200 word paper as part of their grade and they will receive 4000 word composition Gordon Rule credit for the class (if you are unsure of what Gordon Rule credit is contact an advisor); the Non-Gordon rule students do not have a paper. Which version you are in is determined by the section number you registered for with ISIS. Check the course info link to see which sections are which. Note that it is typically the case that both Gordon and Non-Gordon rule sections will be available at the same period in the same room so check the section number.

If you want to be in the other version of this class, you must change sections. If you can change sections during drop/add then do so. However, if the section that you want to switch into is closed (full) then you won't be allowed do this.

In that case do the following:

1. Obtain an orange drop/add scantron form available from Criser, Academic Advising, or possibly from an advisor.
2. Fill it out to drop the section you are in and add the other section that meets during that same time (we can't switch your meeting time due to other constraints). Note: we will approve most changes from Gordon to Non-Gordon but we will only approve changes from Non-Gordon to Gordon if other people have switched to Non-Gordon (in other words the number of people writing a paper can't increase).
3. Bring this drop/add form to the Professor or Instructor to sign.
4. Take the form to the Dean of YOUR college to sign (you may need your advisor's approval in certain rare cases, like if you are on probation)
5. Take the form to Criser and drop it off there.
6. After the change has been processed by Criser, you MUST make a printout of your schedule from ISIS (or some other semi-official place), write your name, UFID, and class username (if you have one yet) on it and give it to the Professor, Instructor, or one of the TAs (either in class or in office hours). This is so we can change our records as Criser doesn't always tell us about section changes in a timely manner. Since the weightings of exams and such are different your grades will not be computed correctly if we have you in the wrong section. Having the form signed by us will not change our records. We will not change until we get this printout showing that Criser has updated their records.
