The course assignments are organized chronologically by author as indicated in the schedule.
Students can expect to bear much of the responsibility for guiding discussions.
Writing for the class will consist of a weekly reading response, a final examination, a review essay, a prospectus and annotated bibliography, a term paper, and perhaps other writings, both in class and outside of class. When necessary, assignment guides will be distributed well in advance of each assignment. Undergraduates will write a term paper of eight to ten pages in length, excluding notes and bibliography. You are expected to attend every class meeting. Your course grade will be lowered three percentage points for each absence over two.
