·         Assessment Three essays = 90% of mark; attendance = 10%.  There is no final examination for this course. I do not stipulate a particular length for essays, though history suggests 5-7 pages as an average. I am happy to assign topics. I prefer that students invent their own.

·         Attendance The first 150 minutes of class missed (i.e., one Tuesday meeting) will be excused; after that, each class missed without a valid excuse reduces your final mark by 10%.

o   There will be spot quizzes.

·         Text The Norton Shakespeare 2nd ed., based on The Oxford Shakespeare, 2nd ed. No other text is required or approved.

·         Office Hours T E1, and by appointment

 

Special notes

·         Plagiarism is a crime. Plagiarism, if you are convicted of it, entails an “E” in the course as well as other university sanctions. Plagiarism of web-sites is as much a crime as plagiarism of printed materials.

 

·         Attendance is mandatory. What does this mean? In my courses, it means that class is a communal experience that depends upon the participation of everyone, including me and you.

 

·         Compensatory assignments are scheduled at my convenience.

 

·         Cell phones are not welcome in my class. If your phone rings, you will be expected to leave the class and not return that day.

 

·         Post-facto arrangements are repugnant to me. Any reasonable request, made in advance and in a proper manner, will be accommodated if at all possible.
