Students, thus, are urged to participate by posing questions, offering alternative or additional interpretations, sharing perspectives or adding their own observations to the data discussed in class. For the record, attendance will be taken every class. Food consumption or talking during a lecture interferes with your attentiveness and distracts your neighbors. Since lectures focus on the ideas underlying individual myths or figures, students must familiarize themselves with stories and plots on their own. After a particular topic has been covered, students should go over their class notes and the chapter in the textbook once again, to solidify their knowledge and understanding of the material.
Students are responsible for all materials dealt with in class and for the readings assigned.
There will be three tests of 30 minutes each and the Final exam. All tests have to be taken at their scheduled times. Students with learning disabilities who want to take exams at the Disabilities Support Service Office must provide me with a copy of the Faculty Contact Sheet, available from Disability Support Services, by the end of the second week of the semester, and with the Test Form no later than five working days before an exam. No term paper is required. All tests are based on class lectures and assignments and will include identifications of names, terms, concepts, etc.
