Course Requirements

In this course you will be asked to

• read all the assigned books, articles, hypertexts, and related materials by the appropriate date;

• attend class and participate in class discussions and activities;

• complete several short commentaries (which will be distributed and discussed online);

• get a University Vax account and participate in online discussions;

• participate in at least one group presentation to the class;

• and complete two longer course (writing) assignments.

Because this course will be exploratory in a variety of ways, as I noted above, a lot will depend upon your participation in these various activities and assignments. Accordingly, these requirements are more about participation in the collective work of the class than about the production of individual texts.
