Another note: Although this text and the assignments seem daunting, remember that the poems and many of the selections are short and require only journal entries. In addition, no one student has to read everything! However, all students must be present to hear everything. Also, I will tell you what authors you can skip as we progress in the readings (there may be quite a few near the end); and you don't have a final exam!!!! |
