I have structured in-class writings such that you will usually write between one and three times during each class session. Take advantage of opportunities to earn extra credit. 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.
All work is due at the beginning of class on the date posted on the course schedule .
I will not accept late work except in extraordinary circumstances. If you cannot attend class on a due date, send your work along with one of your classmates, or make arrangements with me to turn it in before the due date. I will distribute a voluntary student contact sheet to help you contact one another should it be necessary. Be sure to contact someone else in the class to find out what you've missed. All work submitted must be written exclusively for this course.
