1.Attendance is mandatory. All absences must be excused with advance notice and for verifiable reasons. Please note that absences will negatively affect your final grade because exam questions are based on our in-class reading and close textual analysis.
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.
