ALL ASSIGNMENT MATERIALS WILL BE PROVIDED IN CLASS, BUT WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE HERE THROUGH THE CURRENT ASSIGNMENTS LINK. WATCH THE ANNOUNCEMENTS BELOW FOR GENERAL INFORMATION.
The 4th essay will be due one week after students receive all their outstanding graded work, or no earlier than November 30. The last essay and critique will be folded into the final examination. The new schedule is reflected on the course flier and lecture plan link below.
Well, among other things, the term is almost over. Undergraduates should concentrate on trying to organize any notes and ideas into a coherent basis for discussion and study during the last three weeks. We will continue to have some discussions over target ideas presented in class, with the graduates leading and managing the discussion process. I will present at least one formal (i.e. written) lecture at the end. No further written assignments are on the horizon until the final. YOU MAY STILL TURN IN ANY ASSIGNMENTS THAT ARE LATE TO RECEIVE SOME CREDIT. LATE ASSIGNMENTS, LIKE DRACULA, ALWAYS REVIVE. All graduate students are responsible for all essays and critiques, as well as a research paper. If you are developing critiques into a larger work and have started a third critique, you should work it into your final product. I WANT PAPERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Your papers will be redistributed to peer readers with a short time-line for return to me, and then must be redrafted to respond to the critique before the end. Papers that come in on the last week will be docked a grade and not necessarily considered for the planned edited collection.
A LATE GRADUATE PAPER, LIKE A SILENT GRADUATE STUDENT,
IS LIKE A STAKE IN THE HEART (BUT NOT MINE).
Remember, all written work must conform to the AAA STYLE GUIDE, specific assignment requirements, and my general writing guide.

ICONS TO OPEN A NEW VEIN OF THOUGHT. ALL OF THE LINKS INCLUDED HERE ARE PROVIDED
BECAUSE THEY OFFER GENERAL CONTENT USEFUL FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COURSE. MOST
OF THE LINKS BELOW ARE TO BOOKS OR CULTURE-CRITICAL
ESSAYS. IF PAGES IN A SECTION INCLUDE EITHER NUDE IMAGES OR EROTIC CONTENT, THEN
THE SECTION IS BANNERED IN BRIGHT RED WITH A SPECIFIC
WARNING.
EVEN WITH THE WARNING, NO IMMEDIATE LINKS SHOULD LEAD TO OFFENSIVE IMAGES. HOWEVER, WHEN BROWSING THROUGH PAGES LINKED FROM BANNERED SECTIONS, FOLLOW THE ADVISORY WARNINGS PROVIDED ON THE PAGES. LINKAGE HERE DOES NOT IMPLY THAT ALL CONTENT IS EQUALLY CRITICALLY USEFUL. REMEMBER, IN THE VAMPIRE WORLD NUDITY AND EROTICISM ARE HARD TO AVOID. SO, AS BELA SAID IN GLEN OR GLENDA:
"BEVARE, BEVARE, BEVARE OF THE BIG GREEN DRAGON."
