Examinations, papers, assignments. These papers are based exclusively on the reading for the week, topics to be selected from a list given out the preceding week. On alternate weeks, a special written or oral assignment will be given, likewise based on the reading for the week. The mailboxes are inside the Slavic Department on the third floor of Barker Center. Late papers will receive a lowered grade.
Attendance is mandatory.
Sections will start meeting in the second week. Primary texts of each week's reading will be the focus for the section discussion. The sections are meant to complement the lectures, bringing out additional points that time does not permit in lecture. It is vital that you attend, complete all the reading ahead of time, and participate actively in the discussion. A list of study questions will be distributed a week before each section meets.
