Through these investigations, students will attempt to discover and uncover meanings that will contribute to their understanding of the specific, at times marginal, at times undefinable, sub-culture of the South that exists within larger America. Additionally, late work will be returned to students without written comments from the instructor. Incompletes will be given for well documented emergencies and only if requested in writing before the date of the final exam. Weekly quizzes cannot be made up. I will drop the lowest two quiz scores for your average, provided that you complete each quiz.
Attendance is mandatory.
More than two absences from class will negatively affect students' grades. More than four absences will cause the student to fail the course. Weekly content quizzes covering the assigned texts. No outside research is required, though it will be encouraged.
