For the very shy: in place of \u201cclass participation\u201d you may hand in, 5 times during the course, short (1 page, double-spaced, typed) commentaries, not paraphrases, on the poems (not just one poem) under discussion that day.

It\u2019s possible that a student may find readings and\/or discussions of controversial matters troubling. If so, please contact the instructor immediately for alternative assignments or an alternative course.<\/p>\n
