Participation: 30%
You should end your presentation with at least one question for the
class. Presentations will be graded on the basis of their coherence and
evidence of close reading (of text and/or article).
Papers: 70%
There are three papers, 6-8 pages, required for this course. (Change
to syllabus, Oct.: you may write one 9-10 pp. paper, due 12/6/99, instead
of the last two papers). General essay topics will be provided, but
you are encouraged to come up with your own topics and discuss your topics
and papers with me. You are also encouraged to bring me drafts of
your papers, but if you do so, you need to fill out a self-evaluation
form (thanks to Eric Simpson of UPenn for this form!).
When the paper topics are available, there will be active links below.
