First Ledes: Overall

On this assignment, since it's the first one I gave you a 4.0 simply for finishing the assignment without any fatal fact errors, as defined by the syllabus. (If you did have a fatal, you were penalized 1.0 per fataled item.) And you weren't graded for AP Style rules, though I did note them in your returned graded work (in which my comments were inserted in BOLD FACE/CAPS).

In future assignments, we will actually grade every item. But for this first one, I wanted you all to get used to writing on deadline, and for us to have some blog material to go over to see what we did well (and why it was good), and what we could have done better (and how).

Off we go, then:
