The Norton Shakespeare, available at the University Bookstore. Please bring the book, or a Xerox of the play under discussion, to each class. Attendance will be taken beginning the third week of class. Missing four to six classes will result in your final grade being lowered one full letter grade. Missing seven to nine classes will result in your final grade being lowered two full letter grades, and so on.
Papers lose one letter grade for each calendar day late.
You may choose your own topic for the papers, or use the topics at the end of the syllabus. No early or late exams will be given. Besides tapes of the plays, the IMC owns tapes helpful in you getting you started on your scene presentation. Be specific in your assertions and use the text as your evidence. If you've read some other Shakespeare plays, you might think about why Titus Andronicus is NOT one of his more popular plays.
