Course Requirements and Expectations: |
||||||
Attendance
is required. If you miss more
than three classes, your overall grade will drop; at six absences, you will
fail the class. Lateness will count as a partial absence. |
||||||
Texts: Because
this class is based on close reading of the texts, it is very important that
everyone reads everything fully before coming to class. To ensure that this happens, we will
have regular brief reading quizzes.
If you fail more than 3 reading quizzes (either from absence or not
having done the reading), you will fail the course. It is also very important that
everyone brings a copy of the text to class. Editions of all the texts are
available to be purchased at Shakespeare & Co. bookstore on Hillel, but
you are welcome to use other editions if you prefer. If you forget your copy you
should stop by the library and check out an edition on the way to class. Presentations and
responses: Each of you will be
assigned to a group, and will be (individually, not collaboratively)
responsible to come to class prepared to present a close reading of a passage
from that dayÕs reading, and to submit a short written response, on the day
your group is scheduled. If you
will be absent on a day you are scheduled to present, it is your
responsibility to find someone to swap with you. If you miss class without finding a
replacement, you will lose credit for the presentation, but your written
response is still due. |
||||||
Participation: Learning is a collaborative process, and it is important that each
of you engage fully with the texts and with each other. To this end, I will expect you to
participate actively in class discussions, and to respond to your classmatesÕ
presentations. In order to build a classroom atmosphere of courtesy and
concentration, please avoid behavior that is disrespectful and interferes
with othersÕ learning, including talking while others are speaking,
interruptions from cell-phones, etc. |
||||||
Written work
should have a thesis that is well argued, clearly written, and supported by
analytical close readings of textual passages; it should also be typed,
double-spaced, stapled, with pages numbered. Specific guidelines will be distributed
before each assignment. All
written work is due at the start of class; arriving late will mark papers as
late, and late papers will be marked down for each day late. Any use of othersÕ ideas must be fully
acknowledged in footnotes; see me if you are unsure about what this
means. Plagiarism will result in
failing the class and being reported to the DeanÕs Office. |
