Students are responsible for reading and knowing the contents of the entire syllabus.
However, this definition, as we will learn throughout the course, does not fully explain or limit the various texts we will be reading. While the instructor will lecture from time to time, much of the actual learning process in this class will arise from class discussions. Only properly documented medical problems or other severe circumstances which are out of your control will be accepted as excuses for late or missed assignments. This assignment involves NO secondary reading. Basically, the essay will involve a close reading of one of the works that we will be studying early in the term.
