TL;DR: Studies in Modern Drama is composed of work that emphasizes participation, research, analysis, and comprehension. |
Requirement | % |
---|---|
Research / Writing | 50% |
Participation / Daily Work | 30% |
Final Exam | 20% |
This course is composed of three requirements: a major research, writing project, daily work, and a final exam listed in the chart on the right. The two former requirements will be on-going throughout the semester, will require regular contributions, and may be comprised of various assignments. The final exam will test your knowledge of the semester’s material and be given during the university’s scheduled exam time.
Research / Writing
This will be determined during the first class session. It will be one of two options:
- A significant Wikipedia contribution on one of the major plays that we read this semester and weekly Wikipedia training; or
- A series of short research essays and weekly online discussions of the plays.
The class will come to a consensus during the first meeting, and I will detail whichever choice we make above.
Participation
Active participation in the classroom is required. Your daily work and attendance represents your participation, e.g.: reading, discussions, training, exercises, library tasks, reading quizzes, peer editing, the viewing of a film, and similar activities. Your participation in group activities and your preparation for class will be weighed heavily in evaluation: participation, effort, and attitude count significantly. You should not sit in class like you’re watching TV: learning requires active participation and enthusiasm
. Participation grades cannot be made up.Final Exam
Students’ knowledge of the course texts and lecture materials will be tested with a final exam. This exam will test your knowledge of the subject matter (texts, lecture material, and vocabulary), your ability to synthesize this material, and your creativity in going beyond the discussion and lecture materials. The exam will include vocabulary, identification, and interpretation. All exam grades will be based upon objective knowledge of the material, thoroughness, depth of insight, precision, and originality.[1]
