American Lit COURSE CALENDAR ◌ FALL 2020
KEY
All reading responses, the midterm, and the essay are due on or before 11:59 p.m. on the Sunday following the week the assignment is indicated. For instance, a reading response listed under the week August 30-September 5 would be due on or before 11:59 p.m. on September 6 (the Sunday—and first day—of the following week). The final exam must be completed on or before 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, December 15. The assigned readings that require reading responses are indicated in fuchsia semibold italics. EXAMS AND THE ESSAY ARE INDICATED IN ALL CAPS IN BLUE BOLD ITALICS. THE WEEK OF THE FALL BREAK IS INDICATED IN ALL CAPS IN BLACK BOLD. Also, don’t get confused when you see a hyphen followed by my initials—“-ALW”—at the end of a sentence or under several sentences. It’s a weird habit I started years ago to show that I had actually written something instead of a work-study student, an assistant, a secretary, etc.
