1xbet online casino Description
The city of London has been a center for art and commerce for centuries. It has also been a city of immigrants, especially with the arrival in 1948 of the Empire Windrush. Traveling from the far reaches of a fading Empire, this ship's passengers hoped for a better life in the mother country but arrived in a city whose doors were often closed to people of color, a city ravaged by the bombs of World War II. What kind of London emerged from the rubble of war? What kinds of lives did these new immigrants build? How did existing Londoners respond? What is the legacy of this immigration in contemporary British culture? During the next few months, we 1xbet online casino explore answers to these questions as we study the culture of post-WWII Britain through its literature.


1xbet online casino Objectives

Readings and 1xbet online casino Participation: Given the course objectives and learning outcomes stated above, this class will foreground discussion. Class participation is therefore expected and will count for 20% of 1xbet online casino final grade. This portion of 1xbet online casino grade includes 1xbet online casino contributions to our discussions in class (in large and small groups) and to our discussions on the online message board (further information below). To participate, you must complete the reading assigned for each class session, think carefully about what you have read, and come to class ready to share 1xbet online casino ideas. Excessive absences from our weekly meeting (three or more) may result in failure of the course.

Attendance: 1xbet online casino attendance is important, but I recognize that the unexpected will happen. Therefore, you will not be penalized for 1xbet online casino first absence. However, subsequent absences will lower 1xbet online casino final course grade; excessive absences (three or more) or excessive lateness/early departure may result in failure of the course. While I appreciate 1xbet online casino offering explanations for 1xbet online casino absence, the only way to excuse an absence is to provide me with an official letter from 1xbet online casino dean or advisor or an official notice of illness from the Health Center or 1xbet online casino doctor. If you are absent, it is 1xbet online casino responsibility to find out from another class member any announcements or assignments.

1xbet online casino Discussion Questions / "Continuities": As part of the class participation grade, students 1xbet online casino complete two scheduled contributions.

Students will sign up in pairs to initiate discussion for one of our class sessions. Questions for class discussion (4-5 in number) should highlight issues or themes or queries 1xbet online casino think we should address in our class discussion of the reading assigned for that day. After conferring about and drafting the questions, the pair leading discussion should email me their questions by 7 p.m. the night before; I will confirm receipt and offer any suggestions for the order or focus of the questions.

The first evening of class, students 1xbet online casino draw a reading selection from Peter Ackroyd's 1xbet online casino : The Biography; this reading selection should be incorporated into our discussions for the designated class period through two venues: an additional posting to the online message board and a brief (5 minute) contribution to discussion in class. For both contributions, 1xbet online casino should reflect on connections between the historical and cultural information about London that Ackroyd provides and our assigned reading for that week.

1xbet online casino Message Board: To offer another venue for discussion, we'll be using an online message board in Canvas (K-State Online). Each week, each student is required to post at least one paragraph-length comment about the materials we’re reading and discussing in class. I will read these discussions and assess a grade (at the end of the semester) based on the thoughtfulness of 1xbet online casino comments, their ability to foster discussion among 1xbet online casino classmates, and their responsiveness both to our readings and to 1xbet online casino classmates' comments in class and on the board. I'll provide some weekly question prompts as I follow these conversations, and I may also participate in the discussion, but I see the message board primarily as a way for you to raise issues we haven't addressed – or addressed fully or to 1xbet online casino satisfaction – during our regular class meetings. The work contributed to the message board can become source material for more formal writing assignments..

The weekly message board will run from Saturday to Friday, to encourage you to post right after as well as before our weekly class discussions, but I encourage you to contribute 1xbet online casino ideas throughout the week and to check the board for others' postings. 1xbet online casino postings do not need to be long, but they do need to be substantive: they must be long enough to convey clearly the problem you are taking up and 1xbet online casino point of view, connecting 1xbet online casino comment to others' comments whenever possible. I will offer models of successful comments early in the semester..

To post to the message 1xbet online casino , follow these directions:

1. Go to my homepage at http://www.ksu.edu/english/westmank/ and click on our course (ENGL 635), and then “Message Board” to login to K-State Online Canvas and go directly to “Discussions.” (1xbet online casino may also login to the Canvas course page for ENGL 635 and click on “Discussions.”)
2. 1xbet online casino should see all the messages posted to date and the newest threads first.
3. To post, choose to “reply,” so you can engage directly in the conversation and 1xbet online casino message can “thread” beneath the one you’re responding to. Feel free to create a subject line that reflects the content of 1xbet online casino contribution.


1xbet online casino and Response 1xbet online casino : All students will write one shorter paper (4 pages in length); undergraduates will also write a longer paper (7-8 pages in length), while graduate students will also write a longer paper with secondary sources (8-10 pages in length), an abstract of that paper, and an essay review of four articles about one of our authors on the syllabus. You will have a choice of two topics for Paper #1, and you will have a choice of text 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 11- 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 will be penalized one grade (i.e.: A to B) for each day late. (Note: The University's Honor Code obliges you to cite the source of any idea that is not 1xbet online casino own. Otherwise, you have plagiarized. If you do plagiarize, you will fail this course.)

You will also write four response papers (2 pp in length) in response to our readings. Response papers are designed to ready you for class discussion and to explore ideas you could develop further in 1xbet online casino longer paper. They are due the day indicated on the syllabus. In 1xbet online casino response paper, you should not repeat previous class discussions or provide a mere summary of the reading. Instead, 1xbet online casino response should begin to analyze the primary and secondary reading assigned for that class session, selecting an issue or theme or question you feel to be significant. I recommend that you select a word, phrase, or short quotation from the reading to initiate 1xbet online casino response. (See sample response distributed in class.) 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.

Multi-Media Project: You will choose one of four possible multi-media projects to complete during the semester. 1xbet online casino multi-media project can be submitted on any class day but must be turned in no later than Tuesday April 25. Each project should demonstrate insight and understanding of the text with which it connects, should be thoughtfully constructed, and should be presented professionally with attention to detail. Refer to the grading rubrics (posted in 1xbet online casino as of January 25) for detailed grading criteria. The assignment 1xbet online casino be distributed the second week of class, but here are brief descriptions:

Examination: 1xbet online casino will have a cumulative final exam.

1xbet online casino and video resources: Along with some required viewing (see the films/TV listed under "Required Texts") and required online reading, I will refer 1xbet online casino to resources available online or on video to complement our readings and discussions. Links within the online "Schedule of Classes" will take 1xbet online casino to related online resources, and a "Web Resources" link from our course homepage will take 1xbet online casino to a page of links devoted to our selected authors, their work, and the city of London. I will add and update these resources as the semester progresses; if 1xbet online casino locate a site or page which 1xbet online casino find valuable, please let me know, and I'll consider adding it to the existing links.

Email: I highly recommend email as a way of touching base with me about 1xbet online casino work for the class -- a kind of virtual office hours. You can send me queries about reading or writing assignments, 1xbet online casino thesis statement for an essay, or anything else that could be handled with a quick exchange of messages. I check my email throughout the day, but please remember that I am not perpetually online.

Conferences: I want you to succeed in this course, and I am happy to meet with you about 1xbet online casino work and 1xbet online casino progress. I encourage you to see me before exams or papers are due, or if you have questions about material we discuss in class. Please feel free to stop by during office hours (M, W 9:00-10:00 a.m.), or contact me by phone or email to arrange a more convenient time to meet.

Note: If 1xbet online casino have any condition such as a physical or learning disability that will make it difficult for 1xbet online casino to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require academic accommodations, please notify me in the first two days of the course. Any student with a disability who needs a classroom accommodation, access to technology, assistance during an emergency evacuation, or other assistance in this course should contact the Student Access Center (formerly Disability Support Services) and/or me. The SAC serves students with a wide range of disabilities including, but not limited to, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, depression, and anxiety.
