AssignmentsCritical Question Presentation and Roundtable (20%) -- You will be a required to sign up in small groups for an oral presentation and roundtable during the course of the semester. For your presentation, you will read the texts assigned for a particular week, summarize and articulate two or three main points from the week’s scholarly or critical text (as assigned), generate a critical question connecting the theory to the text, and contribute to in-class and online discussion for the week. Literature as LARP Project and Presentation (20%) -- In the same group as your Critical Question Presentation and Roundtable, the second part asks you to adapt the week's texts to develop a short LARP for the entire class to play. In-Class Quizzes (10%) -- There will be seven or more in-class quizzes at various times during the semester. These quizzes serve as a review of the week’s main ideas, terms, texts, and readings. These quizzes will include identifications, fill-in-the-blanks, definitions, and short answers. Online Reflections (10%) -- There will be seven or more online reflections required over the course of the term. These reflections are short reactions, responses, meditations, and provocations that engage the week’s texts on a critical, analytical, or theoretical level. Reflection opportunities will be posted to the class Blackboard. These online responses will be evaluated on completion and your critical, analytical engagement with the prompt. Creative Responses (10%) -- Over the course of the semester, you will write a short-short story, create a drawing, and generate a critical review as an alternative way to explore and demonstrate the ideas and goals of the course. These creative responses will be evaluated on completion and your critical, thoughtful engagement with the prompts.
Final Reflection (10%) -- At the end of the semester, you will complete a 4-6 page analytical reflection
paper that ask you to respond to the readings, the theoretical texts, and to assess your own work and performance
in class. The final reflection is cumulative and based on the class readings, online reflections, other media,
and in-class and Blackboard discussions.
