Students are required to submit a research paper towards the end of the second quarter. More information about the research paper will be handed out at a later date. Our class sessions will be organized around a combination of lecture by the instructor, small group discussion, and open discussion. All required reading assignments should be completed on the day designated for their discussion. Students are strongly advised to take notes during lectures.
Participation is essential to the comprehension and appreciation of literature.
Be prepared to take risks, challenge assumptions, ask questions, argue, and listen respectfully to what your classmates have to say. I encourage you to make appointments with me to discuss your questions or thoughts concerning the course, the readings, or exams. The Harbrace College Handbook, 13th ed. All assignments are put into categories and are then weighed according to importance of difficulty. Grades will be obtained from tests, quizzes, writing assignments, class work, and projects.
