You will be graded on the consistency and thoughtfulness of your entries. Late work will be accepted but will be reduced one letter grade for each class period late. All assignments must be complete by the last regular class period in the semester. Failure to complete any assignments will result in failure in the course. No papers will be accepted after the last day of class, Monday, May 15.
Plagiarism is theft of another individual's words or ideas.
Plagiarism will result in failure on the assignment and may result in failure in the course. This is the fourth time this course has been taught, and it incorporates very significant revisions on the basis of feedback from the previous class, including mostly new books. Changes in assignments may be made in the course of the semester as I assess how you and the readings are connecting and how the course is progressing. Changes may also be made to accommodate the availability of guest speakers and for special events. All readings are to be completed in advance of class on the day assigned.
