Students will consider professional and ethical issues relevant to the arts and humanities. Attention will be given to the oral presentation of arguments and ideas. The schedule of assignments and readings will be distributed separately. Expect to write four formally graded essays spaced at two-three week intervals. In addition, you will be expected to submit frequent brief writing projects and to complete class readings and in-class writing.
Readings are generally brief, but are often demanding.
You will be expected to read most assignments twice and to take notes and think about the assignments. Four formal essays, typed, double spaced, at least one of which will require independent research and formal documentation. The research essay will also involve accompanying research projects. These essays will be given letter grades. These should be typed and submitted promptly.
