We
will use the specific editions of the novels listed above. Books may be ordered
using the isbn number. You should
read each novel’s endnotes and other editorial matter, including appendices.
Requirements
Two 6 page papers, due May
10 and
One class presentation pass / fail
Class participation, reading
may
raise/lower final grade 1/3
In addition:
·
You are strongly encouraged to meet with me to discuss your writing in
individual conferences.
·
Lively class participation is expected. More than two unexcused
absences will lower your final grade, and
two such absences within the first two weeks will result in a failing grade for
the course.
·
You must use your email account. If
you use an account other than the one provided by the university, you will need
to update your email address in ecampus—“tools and resources.”
·
E-campus contains
important course information. Grades for the written essays will appear in
MyUCLA, but see above for the actual calculation of final grades.
Finally, a word about academic
integrity. Academic integrity is fundamental to University work and life.
Always note your sources and do not hesitate to ask me about the correct ways
of citing outside sources. 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from a published or unpublished source without proper acknowledgment, is wrong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.
