The Norton Anthology of African American Literature. W. W. Norton and Co, 1997. A dictionary and grammar handbook. Access to the internet, email, and a word processor. There will also be a final and a mid-term.
Oral presentations are part of the one-paragraph response papers.
On days without response papers, daily reading quizzes may be given. Perfect attendance will be rewarded with 3 percentage points added to final grade. This means perfect attendance could raise your final grade by one entire letter. Only 1 absence will be rewarded with 1 percentage point added to final grade. Tardiness or absence is not an excuse for ignorance of what has taken place in class.
