Assignment Schedule for ENC 1141 Section 2220
Professor Jude Michael Ryan
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
AS NEEDED
You will not find exact dates next toe the readings. We will read
these works of art throughout the twelve week term. I will prod
you as we go to read on and respond to web board postings. This
is a twelve week course, so there is a great deal to do in a narrow
space of time. Keep up! The dates for the mid-term and final are
posted below as well as the dates for the papers you will be writing.
The mid term exam will cover the genre of the Short Story. The
final will deal with drama, poetry, and the novel. Unless I sepcifically
state otherwise, those dates will apply to the course. Topics
on the list below that are not assignments or reading titles are
pages with information you must know to follow the course. All
of this material could appear in the form of questions on your
exams.
NOTE: The Catcher in the Rye is a famous novel that we will be reading. The main character uses a large amount of language that some people consider profane. If this means you will not be comfortable reading the book, do not take this course; I do not offer alternative readings.
