There will be a midterm examination, a final examination, two critical papers, some minor exercises, and daily quizzes on the readings. Students who have studied a foreign language may have a certain advantage in completing some of the assignments. Examinations will require essay answers and will test your acquaintance with the assigned works and your understanding of them as well as your recollection of individual myths. A test may be made up upon sufficient cause if I am notified beforehand. Quizzes cannot be made up.
Papers are due at the beginning of the class meeting on the due-date.
I willingly grant extensions to students who deserve them, but I do ask that you contact me before the paper is due and explain. Never cut class because an assignment is not finished. To do so has no real advantage, and it deprives you of instruction you have paid for. Otherwise the paper will be late. A late paper may be turned in at the English office to avoid additional penalty.
