| Evaluation |
15% Attendance
10% Self-directed learning
35% Midterm exam
40% Final exam
1. Attendance is mandatory. All excuses will be accepted, but all absences will be assessed and reflected in the attendance score. Class absences will negatively affect students’ final grades because we discuss all the questions on the midterm and final exams in class and analyze the texts closely.
2. Self-directed learning will be evaluated through a quiz that consists of multiple-choice questions.
3. The exams will consist of two parts: multiple-choice questions and essay questions. Both the midterm and final exams must be taken in class, and no makeup exams will be given. These exams will evaluate students’ ability to closely read assigned works and their knowledge of literary features introduced in class. Students are also expected to demonstrate critical thinking by writing short essays that analyze passages from the poems and plays.
