A different version of the text has been used in previous semesters. Some parts of it are relevant to this course. At least 5 works do NOT appear in the older text and at least one work has been omitted from the new one. I do not recommend using the old text. Tests will be based on readings and lectures completed or assigned prior to the date of their administration.
All tests are sectional tests.
Tests count equally in determining your final grade for the course. From time to time, short in-class assignments, including quizzes or other brief written material, may be given. Failure to take quizzes or submit assignments will result in loss of percentage points from your final average. All tests are sectional tests. Quizzes and other assignments may be given at any time.
