If you leave a message, please indicate when I can find you at your phone number. I check my messages every day, including weekends. I strongly recommend that you read the assignments before each class.
Attendance is indispensable.
I cannot emphasize enough that you need to come to every class. If you have read some of these plays before, or taken classes where they were part of the syllabus, you are still expected to consider and compare the approaches offered in this course. I will accept opinions different from mine, of course, but only if they are informed opinions. Introductions to old translations, handbooks, Cliff notes, and the like, will not help. There will be a midterm and a final exam.
