I reserve the right to amend these policies as I see necessary. By the end of this semester you should have become familiar with the plays we have read, learned how to think critically about works of literature, and learned how to communicate your critically acquired ideas to others, both orally and in writing. Summary It should go without saying that in this course you will be required to finish the readings by the class period in which we are to discuss them, and to be prepared every day to participate actively. Additionally, you will write three formal papers, complete several small quizzes and informal, in-class writing assignments, and take three examinations.
Details follow below.
Exams You must complete all assignments in order to pass this course. There will be no extra credit assignments. This is a three credit-hour class, which means you are expected to spend six hours every week completing the reading, recording your thoughts in your notes, drafting and completing your papers, and studying for the exams. This is perhaps more time than most students expect to spend. You are not required to fulfill this expectation, but the quality of your work will more than likely reflect the amount of time you have devoted to your studies.
