Textbook: THE NORTON SHAKESPEARE. Ed. Greensblatt
Description of Course: In this course we will read and discuss a number of Shakespeare’s plays and poems. We will also discuss the times Shakespeare lived and the role of women, the other, power and the theme of “acting” or “pretending” and how Shakespeare uses it to elaborate on our humanity and human nature.
Requirements: You will be required to write 3 five-seven page papers, double-spaced, stapled, 12 pt. font, MLA format, utilizing at least 2 secondary sources and the main text. Papers will be expected to have a clear thesis, be well organized and address some theme you find compelling. The thesis will need to be supported by details from the text, and the two secondary sources. The information in your textbook will be invaluable in helping you decide on themes present in the plays/poems.
We will have a comprehensive final exam, which will be a take-home essay exam, open book. Please write your essay responses in a blue book. It will be due the day the final exam is scheduled.
You will be required to do one group presentation utilizing visual and/or aural aides. Each group will present on a particular play. We will read 7-8 plays and a number of his poems in this class and the class will be largely discussion based, so you must attend and participate. You will be informed of who your group members are mid-way through the semester. Despite the fact that these are group presentations, grades will be given on an individual basis. So you are responsible for actively presenting the day the presentation occurs. Every member of the group must actively participate in the presentation. This way if someone is a no-show your grade will not be penalized. Presentations should be 20 minutes long.
Participation: Participation in class is crucial and more than 4 absences will negatively impact your grade in the course. Basically if you miss more than two weeks of class you will be penalized.
Disability Statement: If you have a disability that requires accommodations, please inform me the first two weeks of class. You must provide documentation from the campus office of disabilities in order to receive accommodations.
Grade determination: Each of the components above will be equally weighed and averaged in determining your grade. However more than 4 absences will negatively affect your grade in this course as stated above.
Behavior: Please be kind, courteous and generous with one another and with your instructor. Any disruption of the class activities will be dealt with according to University of Colorado, Boulder policies.
