The poems MUST come from our anthology. The memorization work is meant to be grade-enhancing. ALL of the classes. We will be covering much material every day, and you really will miss out if you aren't there. On the fourth and fifth absences you lose a letter grade.
Papers are due at the beginning of class.
Find a way to get your paper here. Learning is an active process, and what you do affects the quality of your education. Your job as a student is to read the literature, to think about the literature, to discuss the literature in class, and to write intelligently in response to the literature. If you do those four things, you will find yourself a better reader, thinker, and writer at the end of the term. Learning involves interacting with others.
