The significance will become readily apparent as we go through the course. Basic Assignment A contrastive analysis, reported in term-paper format, will be required. Reserve the impulse for your doctoral dissertation. Cite examples from the culture's philosophy, history, sociology, or literary traditions which clearly evidences the ideology that sustains your argument. Do this for both cultures, showing similarities, differences, etc.
Examinations There are three examinations, equally weighted.
All are essays. In addition, I reserve the right to quiz, or in any manner credible test your absorption levels. Each exam will form an independent unit, so you will not be re-tested on any material. The final exam is therefore not comprehensive. All articles and sections of texts assigned as readings will be in the Reserved Readings section of O.C. Budge library.
