1xbet sports betting Description:

Literary works by or about 1xbet sports betting . Treats writers considered within various traditions, themes, or formal issues.

1xbet sports betting Objectives:

In this course we will study how a variety of women authors both respond to and reshape a tradition of literature that has typically been sexed as male and gendered as masculine. Issues we will explore in this course include their choice of themes and genres, the relationship between expectations for women writers and readers and what women wrote and read, the changing social role of the woman author writing for herself and for others across several centuries of cultural change, and the ways that racial, 1xbet sports betting , and national affiliations affect the production and reception of women writers' works.

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 1xbet sports betting dean or advisor or an official notice of illness from the Health Center.

Leading 1xbet sports betting Discussion: Depending on the number enrolled, students will sign up in groups of two to three to initiate discussion for one of our 1xbet sports betting sessions. Discussion leaders will encourage us to explore the connections between the secondary readings and our assigned primary reading. In most cases discussion topics are provided below. The group leading discussion should contact me at least one day in advance to confirm the focus of their discussion questions and should email me with their planned questions by 8pm the night before.

1xbet sports betting and Response 1xbet sports betting : You 1xbet sports betting write two papers, one short (4-5 pp) and one long (7-8 pp), on topics of your choosing in connection with our readings. The longer paper should incorporate both your own readings of a particular text or theme as well as some research; more detailed instructions 1xbet sports betting be distributed during the semester. 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 seven weekly 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 we discuss the material. 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. (See Sample Response distributed in 1xbet sports betting .)

You can choose when to complete your seven responses, with the following guidelines in mind: 1) you can only write a response for a day when we have reading due, 2) two responses must respond to novels, and 3) you must complete 4 responses before March 15th (Spring Break) and complete 3 responses after March 15th (Spring Break). Responses 1xbet sports betting 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 1xbet sports betting go towards your response paper grade.)

Electronic 1xbet sports betting : To offer another venue for discussion, we'll start using an electronic bulletin board next week; technical details will follow shortly. Each student should post at least once a week to the bulletin board, responding to an existing thread of the conversation or initiating another; weekly postings will count towards 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.

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.
