You are bound to realize you need assistance long before I'll tumble to that fact. I'll distribute in due course in class or via e-mail attached files. You may revise up to four writing assignment in the course of the semester. I expect there will be a total of seven to eight such assignments. With the exception of the final essay, a summation paper at the end of the Seminar, you may select the essays you wish to revise.
Revisions are always due by a week from the day a graded essay is being returned to the class.
Since a seminar is a participatory endeavor, students are expected to attend classes faithfully and come prepared to engage in a significant discussion based on sufficient understanding of the assigned material. Preparations time varies, mainly depending on a student's aptitude. I feel entitled to roughly one-fourth of you study time. No more than three unexcused absences from class will be allowed. I expect to be informed ahead of time, if you need to miss a session.
