Requirements

Students must complete the readings, explore archival material on the web for selected authors and attend all lectures.

Students must enroll in a section in order to take the course; attendance at section will not only enhance the intellectual benefit and pleasure of the course (and will fill out 5% of your grade) but will also help you in preparing the papers. Your papers and exams will be graded by your TF.

Written work will consist of:

1. Two graded papers: each a literary analysis of a single text, minimum 5 pages, maximum 8 pages.

2. Final exam: will cover the whole semester; identifications, passage readings, and one essay. The papers, lectures and section discussions, if pursued with energy and attended regularly, should prepare you well for the exam.
