Course Requirements
Two short essays, 2–3 pages each, due Wednesday, January 29, and Wednesday,
March 4 (each worth 15% of the grade). (For the first essay, there will be
a choice of essay questions about Schelling; for the second, a choice of
essay questions about Coleridge. The third essay, about Emerson and/or
Fuller, will be more free-form, but there will be a list of suggested topics.)
One final paper, 4–6 pages, due Wednesday, March 18 (worth 55% of the
grade).
Papers are due as an attachment via the “Assignments” tool on Canvas.
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.
Note that all assignments are due by 11:55pm on the due date.
You can find answers to some commonly asked questions about my
assignments and grading in my FAQ.
Attendance at lecture is
strongly encouraged, but it is not a course
requirement and I will not be taking attendance.
