The first paper is due October 19 and the second is due December 5. You will be graded upon the thoroughness and perceptiveness of your analysis, as well as evidence of thoughtful grappling with significant issues connected to the Shoah. Late work will be accepted but will be reduced one-third letter grade for each class period late. All assignments must be completed by the last regular class period in the semester. Failure to complete any assignments will result in failure in the course.
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 seventh time this course has been taught, and I have once again made revisions since last fall. Please note the books on the recommended list since most are by our speakers. 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 working. Changes may also be made to accommodate the availability of guest speakers, to arrange for special events and the showing of films.
