{{dc|T}}{{Big|his course is composed of three requirements: reading, writing, and exams. Each requirement will be on-going throughout the semester, will require regular contributions, and may be comprised of various assignments. Tests will be in-class writings that emphasize a small selection of texts.}} {{More}}<br />

===Reading===<br />
Each lesson’s major focus will be reading primary texts (the literature) and secondary texts (critical response to the literature). Reading quizzes 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.<br />
<br />
Reading quizzes and in-class assignments cannot be made up for any reason.<br />
<br />
===Exams===<br />
Students’ knowledge of the course texts will be tested with a midterm and a final exam. These 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. Grades will be based upon objective knowledge of the material, thoroughness, depth of insight, precision, and originality.{{refn|See the various {{c|Category:Education|resources}} available on this web site to help. They should assist in exam prep and provide guidance for your study throughout the semester.}}<br />
<br />
====Short Lit-Crit Response====<br />
{{main|Short Lit Crit Response}}<br />
Due before midterm, this paper 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|(see [[ENGL 2111/Spring 2022/Policies#XC Response|XC Response]])}}.<br />

==Required Materials==<br />
[[File:Norton1-world.jpg|thumb]]<br />
Our study of World Literature this semester will use ''either'' of the following: <br />
<br />
* {{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 }} <br />
* {{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 }}{{refn|I have placed a copy of this text on reserve in the Macon campus library. You may check it out at the circulation desk and use it in the library.}} <br />
<br />
<br />
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.}} While readily available, other translations will just be confusing and cause you unnecessary difficulty. <br />
