NOTE ON RANGE OF TOPICS AND ON MULTICULTURAL LITERACY:

The above list of authors and topics includes both too much and too

little. There is too much literature to be treated adequately in

seventeen weeks; instructors are expected to make a representative,

but robust, selection. There are too few topics to give an adequate

idea of the range of possible approaches the faculty may bring to the

course.

Assignments:

1.  Regular reading assignments.

2.  Notebook or other written preparation for class.

3.  Class discussions and group work, in which each student is expected

   to participate.

4.  Occasional leading of class discussions, and preparation appropriate

   to this task.

5. Carefully composed papers of 500 to 2,500 words, including research,

   that interpret the course texts, or expound upon their cultural

   contexts.

6.  Library research into historical backgrounds or critical response

   to the course texts.

7.  Oral readings or other performance exercises.

8.  Examinations and quizzes involving the writing of reasoned

   interpretive arguments as well as simple factual responses (see

   "methods of evaluation")

9.  Attentive, critical viewing of video material illustrative of

   course texts.
