S1. AP Lang is a challenging course and exam, but success is likely for all students who work hard.
S2. Absolutely no homework assignments in this course will be accepted late.
S3. Essays and assessments, combined, are worth 55% of your quarter grade.  Classwork and homework comprise the other 45%.

S5. Most of the essays that you will write are either analytical or persuasive essays.
