Part of your grade will depend on class participation, and if you re not here, that part of your grade will suffer. In addition, I will be observing the university s no-cut policy and will deduct two points from your final grade for every unexcused absence. Do the reading beforehand. Think about what you re reading and what we ve been discussing in class. Then come to class prepared to discuss, disagree, and dazzle me with your insights.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the date specified.
Don t send them with someone else, and don t leave them on my desk or anywhere in the English department. I can t be responsible for any assignment that isn t handed directly to me. Please use 12-point Times New Roman. Finally, you should keep an extra copy of all your papers as backup. If you take someone else s words and use them as your own without proper documentation, you ve committed plagiarism, a serious breach of academic honesty.
