You are strongly encouraged in this and all literature classes to ask questions, give reactions, and respond to what other students say about specific works. LIT 224 does satisfy the general education requirements. The part of your grade based on class participation is highly influenced by your faithful attendance as well as by your obvious preparation for the day's assignment. Sickness that does not require a doctor's care is not an excuse to miss class. Plan ahead for dates listed on the syllabus.
All papers are due at the class hour on the date listed below.
Papers received within 24 hours of the due date will be penalized a full letter grade. Short papers and all projects will be due during classes on the period covered. There will be two tests and a final exam. A plagiarized paper will result in a failing grade on the paper and, at the discretion of the professor, the course. We need not approve or disapprove of the choices of literary characters in order to learn from their narratives.
