English 2332 World Literature I Syllabus
Collin County Community College District
Spring Creek Campus
Dr. Mary Anne Andrade
Course description: This course introduces the student to a
variety of literary histories from the classical Greek period through
the seventeenth century. Students will read representative
selections, analyze, and discuss philosophies and cultures.
Final exam: Wed. Dec. 12, 11:00 a.m.
Method of Evaluation:
40%: Exams. Students will take the mid-term exam in the Testing Center at any time during the ninth week and the final exam in the classroom.
20%: Response papers. Using the response paper topics listed in Weekly Assignments, write a one page typed response. The grade will be based on the thoughtfulness of the response; the response paper must be in my hands before we discuss the particular topic; in other words, I want you to read the material assigned and respond to the topic question before we discuss it in class; therefore, I will not accept any late journals, but students may skip any two journals. Of the eight assigned, only six are required.
40% Essays: 2 essays, typed, 3-4 pages long.
Late essays: 5 points off per day; I will not accept an essay more than 2 days late no matter what the excuse unless you make arrangements with me before the absence.
Attendance: After eight absences, excused or unexcused, you must drop the class. I will no longer accept work turned in after eight absences.
Withdrawal date: Nov. 16. Please remember that dropping is an administrative procedure. Your instructor cannot drop you. Failure to withdraw from a class will result in a final grade on your transcript of F.
Americans With Disabilities Act Compliance: It is the policy of Collin County Community College to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals who are students with disabilities. This College will adhere to all applicable Federal, State and local laws, regulations and guidelines with respect to providing reasonable accommodations as required to afford equal educational opportunity. It is the student's responsibility to contact the faculty member and/or the Services for Students with Disabilities at 881-5950 in a timely manner to arrange for appropriate accommodations.
Religious Holidays: In accordance with Section 61.911 of the Texas Education Code, CCCC will allow a student who is absent from class for the observance of a religious holy day to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time. Students are required to file a written request with each professor within the first 15 days of the semester to qualify for an excused absence. A copy of the state rules and procedures regarding holy days and the form for notification of absence from each class under this provision are available from the Registrar's Office.
