You should have at least one entry for every major reading assignment. I will check these journals from time to time to make sure that your are on track. Class Participation and Attendance Regular attendance in class is required. Each class is the equivalent of three one-hour classes, so any absences will represent a serious loss of the opportunity to learn. More than two unexcused absences will therefore result in an automatic lowering of your course grade.
Attendance also involves being on time to class.
Whenever possible, I appreciate advance notice of anticipated, unavoidable absence or inability to meet a course deadline. Participation in class discussion is important to the success of the class as a whole and to your own individual learning. It is important that you keep up with the reading assignments, come to class armed with ideas and questions, and are prepared to share them with your classmates. Myth, as you will discover, is essentially a communal experience, and it requires everyone's involvement to make it come alive to all of us. My office is Simpkins 08.
