Students are responsible for attending each class session, being excellent readers, and fully engaging in our class discussions. Graded coursework consists of five quizzes, two take-home questions, and a critical essay due throughout the semester. A limit of three excused absences will be granted to each student. Each additional absence will result in the loss of points from the final grade. Excessive absences will result in failure of the course.
All deadlines are firm.
In case of emergencies, the professor should be contacted as far in advance as possible. We will adhere strictly to the Vanderbilt Honor Code. Coursework is calculated according to following point distribution. In this course we will immerse ourselves in the rhetoric of discontent, mobilization, and transformation. Social movements continue to be of significant scholarly interest to historians, sociologists, literary critics, and rhetoricians alike.
