Course Description and Objectives:
During the next few weeks, we'll be exploring the art, literature, and culture of early twentieth-century England through the works of The Bloomsbury Group. We will examine the relationships among the literary works of Bloomsbury authors such as Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster, Virginia 1xbet sports betting , Katherine Mansfield, and T.S. Eliot, focusing our attention on their perspectives on English society and personal experience. We will also consider their work in light of their 19th century predecessors (Matthew Arnold, Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, G.E. Moore) and in light of the post-impressionist visual artists and art theorists of the Group (Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Roger Fry).
Requirements and General Expectations:
1xbet sports betting Participation and Attendance: 1xbet sports betting participation is, of course, required. To participate, you must complete the reading assigned for each 1xbet sports betting session and think carefully about what you have read. Your attendance is therefore important. You will not be penalized for your first three absences; thereafter, your final course grade will drop one grade (i.e., B+ to B) for each day missed. Excessive absences (five or more) may result in failure of the course. While I appreciate your offering explanations for absences, the only way to excuse an absence is to provide me with an official letter from your dean or an official notice of illness from the Health Center.
Presentation/Leading 1xbet sports betting Discussion: Depending on the number enrolled, students will sign up individually or in pairs to present some background material for one of our 1xbet sports betting sessions OR sign up to initiate 1xbet sports betting discussion for one of our 1xbet sports betting sessions. Presentations (10 minutes in length) should provide information which can in turn encourage us to explore the connections between the secondary readings and our assigned primary reading. Questions for 1xbet sports betting discussion (3-5 in number) should highlight issues or themes or queries you think we should address in our 1xbet sports betting discussion of the reading assigned for that day. In most cases presentation/leading 1xbet sports betting discussion topics are provided below. Students should contact me in advance to confirm the focus of their presentation, and students leading 1xbet sports betting discussions should email me their questions by 9 pm the night before.
Papers and Response Papers: You 1xbet sports betting write two papers, one short (4-5 pp) and one long (8 pp); you 1xbet sports betting have a choice of two or three topics for Paper #1, and you 1xbet sports betting have a choice of text(s) for Paper #2. Both papers should follow the general rules of composition and be typed or word-processed with standard double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and either 10- or 12-point typeface. Title pages and cover sheets are unnecessary. Pages should be numbered, stapled together, and spell-checked. Papers are due by the date and time on the syllabus; late papers 1xbet sports betting be penalized one grade (i.e.: A to B) for each day late.
You will also write five response papers (2 pp in length) in response to our readings. Response papers are designed to ready you for 1xbet sports betting discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in your longer papers. They are due the day indicated on the syllabus. In your response paper, you should not repeat previous 1xbet sports betting discussions or provide a mere summary of the reading. Instead, your response should begin to analyze the reading assigned for that 1xbet sports betting session, selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. Even better, I recommend that you select a word, phrase, or short quotation from the reading to initiate your response. Responses will be graded on a 1-5 scale: 5=A, 4=B, 3=C, 2=D, 1=F. I do not accept late response papers. (Extra credit opportunities will go towards your response paper grade.)
Technology: To offer another venue for discussion, we'll start using an electronic bulletin board; technical details will follow shortly. Each student should post at least twice a week to the bulletin board, responding to an existing thread of the conversation or initiating another; weekly postings will count for 5% of your 1xbet sports betting participation grade. I'll monitor these conversations, and may also participate, but I see the bulletin board primarily as a way for you to raise issues we haven't addressed--or addressed fully or to your satisfaction--during our regular 1xbet sports betting meetings. Though extra postings to the bulletin board will not automatically replace participation in our 1xbet sports betting discussions, regular contributions above and beyond your weekly posting can certainly improve your 1xbet sports betting participation grade.
We'll also be meeting several times in ECTR110 to use some technology there; preparation and participation for these 1xbet sports betting meetings should follow the guidelines outlined above for "1xbet sports betting Participation and Attendance."
Grading: The two papers will count for 40% of your final grade (15% and 25% respectively); the response papers will count for 20% of your final grade. 1xbet sports betting participation (20%) and a final exam (20%) complete the requirements.
