English 233:  Introduction to Western Humanities -- Reformation to Enlightenment

Using the Course Schedule

Here are some important things to keep in mind in using the course schedule.

• Reading assignments should be completed before you come to class on the day the assignment is listed.  

It will be impossible to understand what goes on in class if you haven't already read the assignment before you come to the discussion.

• What's required, and what's only recommended.  In the course schedule, you will find two kinds of assignments -- required and recommended.  Assignments that are recommended only show up only from time to time, and are clearly indicated as such.  Unless an assignment is specifically indicated as recommended, it is required.  Almost all the assignments you will encounter in the schedule are required.

• An important caution:  you'll find it useful to print out a copy of this Course Schedule.  But when you look over your copy, keep in mind that anything that appears as underlined is a web link that you can only follow up by getting on-line and clicking on the word or phrase that's underlined!  

I never use underlining on a web page for emphasis.  (Instead I use bold, italics, colored font, or large font, or some combination of these.  If you don't keep this in mind, you'll be hopelessly confused in trying to make use of pages you have printed out!)

• This schedule is tentative. I may make adjustments in reading or writing assignments if I think doing so best serves the interests of the course as it develops. I will notify you of these through our e-mail listserv or through the Message of the Day. 

The examination dates, however, you may take as firmly set. About a week before the date cited, you will receive special information (a "prep sheet") designed to help you to review in a focused way for each exam.
