In light of missing last week’s class and some confusion regarding blog posting due dates, here is a revised schedule:
(wk 2)Jan 16 and (wk 4) Jan 30 — past due
(wk 5) Feb 6 moves to –> Feb 13 (if you already posted last week’s blog, that’s great; if you would like to edit your post, go ahead anytime before Wednesday at midnight; if you haven’t posted this one, do so before Wednesday at midnight)
(wk 6) Feb 13 moves to –> Feb 27
The rest of the blogs stay on the dates listed in the syllabus: weeks 8 (March 7), 10 (March 19), (April 2) 12.
** please note that I’ve extended the date for week 8 slightly so that you may write about the surrealist night at NAC.
Your proposal is due this week – February 13th — and we’ll have to stick to that date so we don’t fall behind. Please let me know if you have any questions about the format. This is taken from the syllabus:
Proposal: this is a two-page document in which you propose your object(s) of study (the texts and the ideas) and the course of action you plan to use in your paper. It should a paragraph or two that describes a topic, research/analysis question, tentative thesis, possible arguments and possible evidence. The second page will be a properly formatted bibliography, using Chicago or MLA style.
If you have questions, I’ll be in my office tomorrow (Feb 11th) afternoon and on MSN.
