You may make up as many as 20 points during the term by doing extra credit. Possibilities include reviewing a reasonably accurate film about the period, memorizing and reciting a poem, or writing a short paper. I will distribute a list of possible extra credit assignments later in the term. Visit the class website regularly. The syllabus and schedule are linked to some of the most outstanding sources of information about world literature available on the Internet.
All work is due at the beginning of class on the date posted on the course schedule.
Also, you are expected to have read assigned materials before coming to class on the date a work will be discussed. If you are unable to attend class on a particular date, you are responsible for getting class notes from another student. I will distribute a voluntary student contact sheet to help you contact one another should it be necessary. Also, you are expected to contribute to class discussion regularly. All work submitted must be written exclusively for this course.
