Required Text: Wilkie and Hurt, Literature of the Western World, 5th ed., vol. 2.

 

Grading: Your final grade will be based on: class participation, two short papers (Paper 1 and Paper 2), a midterm and a final exam (20% each). Class participation involves regular attendance, taking part in class discussion and performance on the personal timeline assignment, the email on the regions of your source, and on any quizzes given at the discretion of the instructor to allow you to demonstrate your basic comprehension of the reading material.

Please note: This method of calculating the final grade applies only to students who satisfactorily complete the general course requirements, especially those about attendance and class participation. Students who do not meet the general requirements may have their grades determined at the discretion of the instructor.

Short quizzes may be given from time to time to encourage completion of reading assignments.
