Course Requirements
and Expectations: |
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Attendance Because
your contributions to class discussion are a central part of your work for
this course, attendance is crucial.
If you miss more than three classes, your overall grade will drop; at
six absences, you will fail the class. Arriving late to class will count as
one-third of an absence. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Texts I
have ordered Signet Editions of the plays on our syllabus at the College
Bookstore; you may purchase them elsewhere if you prefer, and other editions
are acceptable as well. You must
bring a hard copy of the play to each class session: if cost is an issue, you
will find copies in the library, and in an emergency can borrow copies from
me. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Participation Learning
is a collaborative process, which works best when each of you engages fully
with the texts and with each other.
To this end, I will expect you to participate actively in class
discussions, and you will be required to present ideas for class discussion
on a rotating basis. Your
contributions will determine a significant portion of the semesterÕs grade.
In order to build a classroom atmosphere of courtesy and concentration,
please avoid behavior that is disrespectful and interferes with othersÕ
learning, including rudeness, talking while others are speaking, and ringing
from cell-phones, pagers, watches, etc. |
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Writing Over
the course of the semester you will write four short (2 page) papers
accompanying in-class presentations, as well as one longer (8-10 page)
research paper. All written work
should have a central claim that is well argued, clearly written, and
directly supported by close readings of textual passages; the research paper
will also incorporate, and respond to, at least three secondary sources. All papers should be stapled, typed,
double-spaced, in a 12-point font, with one-inch margins on all sides. Written work is due at the start of
class, and lateness will result in lowering of the grade by one-third of a
grade per day. Any use of othersÕ
ideas must be fully acknowledged in footnotes; speak to me if you are unsure
about what this means. Plagiarism
is a serious offense, and will result in failing the class and being reported
to the DeanÕs Office. |
