I strongly recommend that you take notes during film presentations to assist you in our discussions and in preparing your papers. Writing The Thomas University faculty has endorsed a writing across the curriculum program and has agreed to demand consistent standards of quality in all writing situations. Writing Assignments Choose three novels from the list above and for each, write a paper comparing the novel and its film adaptation. Compose one short paper on some aspect of the film-making process. Due to the nature of our compressed week, I can allow more time for the completion of papers submitted electronically.
Plagiarism is grounds for failure in the class.
If you miss more than twenty percent of class meetings, your final course average will be penalized five percentage points for each additional absence. Excessive tardiness will count as an absence. Be sure to complete your work on time. Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period, not later on during that day. Defective or lost floppy disks, printer malfunctions, hard drive crashes, and computer meltdowns are not valid excuses for late papers.
