Argument Notes are due on the day the readings are slated for class discussion and will not be accepted late. Please coordinate with your group, which is designated on the syllabus alphabetically according to your last name, to make sure all the readings for the day are addressed. You are responsible for handing in Argument Notes during class the day the readings are slated for discussion. You ll take the midterm in class. You may bring with you books, notes, or whatever else you would like to have to refer to during the exam.
Final exam is actually a sneaky euphemism for paper.
The ultimate result should be about eight pages in length and will be due on the last day of class, but you will be asked to present a well-developed account of your ideas to the class during the week of December 14th and 16th. In your responses for both the midterm exam and final paper, do not repeat the text of the assignment, offer general introductions, or in the case of narratives provide plot summaries. Experience suggests that I m good at spotting plagiarism. You should subscribe for at least one month during the semester. You may participate fully in the list or lurk.
