Take advantage of the detailed class schedule on the following pages to get ahead in your reading. Your participation is a crucial part of our course since I expect you to contribute helpful comments and insights to others. The depth of your preparation and the amount of effort you apply will be a factor in your final grade. I will ask you to write papers based on our readings, essays questions on tests, and a documented literary research paper of 8-10 typed pages in length based on the authors and concepts we cover in class. Document all research and submit your original sources with the final draft.
Plagiarism is grounds for failure in the class.
