Requirements

 

Three close-reading papers, due:          2 pages, Friday, April 23

                                                            3 pages, Monday, May 10

One final 5-page close-reading paper, due Friday, June 11

 

2 pass/fail quizzes: Monday, May 10 & Friday, June 11

 

Class participation: at the end of term your calculated grade is reviewed based upon your class participation.

It may be raised or lowered, usually by no more than 1/3 of grade, or it will remain the same.

Approximate distribution of grades for written work:

short papers = 60% (paper 1 = 15%; 2 = 20%; 3 = 25%)

final paper = 25%

quizzes = 15% or failure for entire course (pass 2 = A; pass 1 = D; pass 0 = F for the course)

 In addition:

      • Lively participation in section and, at times, in lecture is expected.
      • Papers are due in lecture on their due date. No extensions granted after a due date.
      • You are encouraged to meet with your section leader or myself during the semester.
      • You will need to use your email account. If you use an account other than the one
        provided by the university, you will need to update your address in ecampus,
        “tools and resources.” My email is grossman@humnet.ucla.edu
      • Ecampus contains important course information, including our lecture slides and some
        specific advice about writing papers for this class. Please use our ecampus
        homepage, and don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any suggestions about the
        webpage or any other aspect of our class.

 

Finally, a word about academic integrity. Academic integrity is fundamental to
University life and your own education. Always note any outside sources you use and do
not hesitate to ask about the correct ways of citing them. Plagiarizing, which means taking
words or ideas from a published or unpublished source without proper acknowledgment,

is wrong and violates your UCLA Student Conduct Code.
