Assignments
Graded written work will
consist of three main written projects: two shorter
essays reflecting on specific works and/or themes and a
longer final essay on Paradise Lost with some
research. The final essay will be submitted as a
portfolio including preliminary work, abstracts, and
drafts. Missing a draft drops the grade for that
assignment a full letter grade. I do not accept late
work.
