===Reading===
Each lesson’s major focus will be reading primary texts (the literature) and secondary texts (critical response to the literature). Reading quizzes (taken on {{D2L}}) will test your knowledge of the materials, focusing on factual details like plot points, rather than interpretative readings. Students should take thorough notes as they read—like character names, plot points, and other details—that will help them on quizzes and later analysis of the texts in their writing.

'''Reading quizzes cannot be made up for any reason. Please do not ask me to reopen a closed quiz.'''

===Writing===
Each lesson has students discussing to assigned readings on Packback. This forum is a written class discussion that encourages interaction about the course materials. These posts should be focused, interpretive, and supported by primary and secondary texts. Discussion posts should ''show'' what you’re reading and thinking about in relation to the course content—it is a place to share and develop ideas about the texts. You will discuss to every text you read, the minimum required response per week is '''three''': one question and two response posts. {{crossreference|See the [[ENGL 2111/Summer 2022/Packback|Packback]] tab above.}}

====Short Lit-Crit Response====
{{main|Short Lit Crit Response}}
This essay will have students research and write about one of the texts we have studied in class. Choose the text you would like to investigate further, find a secondary, critical article, and write your two-page response. This assignment may be repeated once for extra credit {{crossreference|(also see [[ENGL 2111/Summer 2022/Policies#XC Response|XC Response]])}}. For detailed instructions, see [[Short Lit Crit Response]] and be sure you follow them carefully.

===Exams===
Students’ knowledge of the course texts will be evaluated with a midterm and a final exam. These exams will be composed of essay and short-answer questions. The best answers employ an objective knowledge of the material, thoroughness, depth of insight, precision, and originality. The best way to prepare for these tests is to read the assigned novels thoroughly and have a general understanding of the main themes of the works. Additional research always helps.

==Required Materials==
[[File:Norton1-world.jpg|thumb]]
Our study of World Literature this semester will use ''either'' of the following: 

* {{cite book |editor-last=Mack |editor-first=Maynard |date={{date|1999}} |title=Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces: Literature of Western Culture Through the Renaissance |series=The Western Tradition |edition=Seventh |volume=1 |url=https://amzn.to/2KCxHTE |location=New York |publisher=W. W. Norton |ref=harv }} 
* {{cite book |editor-last=Lawall |editor-first=Sarah |date={{date|2003}} |title=The Norton Anthology of World Literature: Beginnings to A.D. 100 |volume=A |edition=2nd |url=https://amzn.to/2OjZB94 |location=New York |publisher=W. W. Norton |ref=harv }}


Both of these books are out-of-print, but you should have no problem acquiring one of them, either through the {{Amazon}} links above or another bookstore. These books contain the specific translations that I will be referencing in-class and on exams, so one of the two texts above is '''required'''.{{refn|Get the cheapest one, as one is no better or worse than the other. And the good news is you can sell the book back to Amazon at the end of the term and make most of your money back. Alternatively, since you must spend money on Packback this semester, you can get PDFs of the required texts from [https://files.grlucas.com/share/FjAwp2Xp my server] using the password “Fall 2022”; please do not share this link. This link will expire on September 1, 2022.}} While readily available, other translations will just be confusing and cause you unnecessary difficulty.
