You should also read and think critically about the assignments before class. You should be looking for connections among the texts we read, noting similarities and differences. We will drop your lowest quiz grade. Quizzes will occur during the first five minutes or so of class, and they will consist of approximately 3 to 5 questions that will require very brief answers. If you come to class after the quiz is over, you cannot make up the quiz.
Plagiarism is a very serious offense.
You will write three examinations and a final examination for this course. Each exam will include definitions, quotation identifications and analyses, and short essay questions. Exam 1 will be held in class on Monday, October 2. Exam 2 will take place on Friday, October 20, and the third exam will be given on Monday, November 27. Instead of writing two papers for this course, you will keep a reading journal.
