Examinations will be evaluated on how fully they reflect a nuanced, integrated understanding of the assigned materials and the questions raised in these materials. Thus, even though there is not a formal attendance requirement for this course, frequent absence will obviously affect your grade both indirectly and directly. You should, then, plan to minimize your absences from class. You should also be prepared to tell the class each day what you are requesting to have discussed that day. The letters in brackets on the syllabus identify theworks that follow.
All books are paperbacks.
