Requirements
Summary of course requirements
Late paper policy: Late papers will be accepted, but will be reduced one grade and will not receive any comments. The final date to submit late assignments is the last day conference meets.
Note: If you are not in conference the day the papers are returned, your paper will be put in the mailbox outside Lisa's office (Lib 321) for pick-up.
-
Conference Attendance and Participation: All students are expected to do the weekly readings and participate regularly and rigorously in the conference discussion. If you miss a conference, you will be responsible to turn in summaries of texts that were discussed on the day of your absence (these summaries will not be returned to you). More than three unexcused absences will result in no credit for the course. Acceptable excuses are illness and serious emergencies.
-
Research blog of images/essays: Your blog will be image- as well as text-based. It is mainly free-form. I will give you a prompt and a date and time the blog entry is due in the syllabus. You will blog once every week of the semester. The blog address is: http://www.chinaurban.blogspot.com
