Due on June 18th. You may want to include outside research, but are not required to do so. I recommend a close textual reading of a focused topic. If you are having trouble finding or narrowing your topic, see me in advance. If you choose to write a paper, please see me with your topic at least and week and a half before the due date.
Conferences are optional.
I can meet with you by appointment to discuss any class concerns or to review material. It's also a good idea to exchange ideas with classmates outside of class if possible.
