Course Requirements

Classroom participation. Two 2 page response/analysis papers, on a rotating basis, due as follows:

Group I: Thursday, October 15; Thursday, November 5.
Group II: Thursday, October 15; Thursday, November 12.
Group III: Thursday, October 22; Thursday, November 19.
Group IV: Thursday, October 29; Tuesday, December 1.

A Final paper, 6–12 pages, due Tuesday, December 8.

Papers are due as an attachment via the “Assignments” tool on eCommons. The assignments will be available online and there will be links to them from the online version of this syllabus as well as from my main course page.

The grade will be based mostly on the final paper, but class participation and the two short papers will be grounds for raising the grade if (when) there are borderline cases.

You can find answers to some commonly asked questions about my assignments and grading in my FAQ.

All assignments are due by midnight on the due date.[1]That is, technically: at 12am, or 0:00 hours, on the day following the listed due date.

This text should be available at the Literary Guillotine, and also will be put on reserve at McHenry. Readings from Brentano, and from the Logical Investigations, will be available on eCommons.
