You will become proficient at both on-line and library research in completing these projects. You can count on homework for each class period. You'll write summaries and discuss the reading assignments. Some homework and in-class assignments will ask you to add to the 314L American Literature website . You'll need an excellent reason to be granted an extension.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Minor assignments will not be accepted if late. Turning in a major assignment after the due date will reduce the evaluation by a letter grade for each class day the assignment is late. I grant extensions with major assignments, but the circumstances must be compelling and the extension must be arranged prior to the assigned due date. I will grant four absences for the semester, but the fifth absence will lower your final course grade by one letter. Should you have six absences, you will fail the course.
