ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS: FALL TERM 2002
One essay, not exceeding six double
spaced typewritten pages in length, due on 3 December.
Performance in essay will constitute 50% of the term evaluation.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ESSAYS ARE DUE IN CLASS ON THE ASSIGNED DATE. ANY ESSAY
HANDED IN AFTER THE DUE DATE WILL HAVE ONE GRADE SUBTRACTED FROM ITS EVALUATION
FOR EACH CLASS BY WHICH IT IS OVERDUE; e.g
AN A ESSAY HANDED IN ONE CLASS LATE WILL BE GRADED B ETC.
EXAMINATIONS: FALL TERM
Two examinations on the
assigned material and the topics covered in class and discussion will be set at
the start of class on Thursday 24 October in
1152 Vari Hall and in the December examination period.
Performance in examination will constitute 50% of the term evaluation.
From -3 to +3 points.
The class will meet twice weekly on Tuesday and Thursday from 08:30-09:50 in 1152 Vari Hall. The
activities at each meeting will vary, but will generally comprise analysis and
explanation of assigned readings and source material, and discussion of the
topics, events and methodology which form the foundation of the course. Each meeting will focus on a specific topic
and text and will be the locus of discussion about essays and other matters in
the course.
The potential litigiousness of a small minority of the undergraduate
population and the precise facts about student attendance demanded by Faculties
at York require that attendance records be kept for each session. Students
should note that participation in the discussions of topics and analysis of
assigned readings is obligatory, and that reading and preliminary analysis of
assigned material should be completed in advance of the session in which the
material is to be employed.
Participation in the course will add between ‑3 points to +3 points to the term evaluation. It should be
noted that students who habitually absent themselves from lectures and
discussions generally find it impossible to participate in sessions which they
do not attend!
The rules and regulations concerning plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty governing the course are
those of the University and Faculty of Arts. Students will be expected to have
acquainted themselves with these regulations and will be reminded of
disciplinary procedures and penalties should occasion for such procedures present themselves. Please review pages 446-449 of the 2002 Undergraduate Calendar.
Rule # 24 You may no longer eat or drink
in class. You must either have
breakfast before the lecture or starve.
This is a matter of courtesy to your fellow students and a matter of
necessity for the professor.
