For details click on the links below or use the link on course "schedule" page where you see the outline for the meeting on the day the assignment was activated. DO NOT START AN ASSIGNMENT UNTIL IT HAS A LINK TO ITS SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTE (15 March, 2012): Because I will be at a conference out of town from Wednesday, 21 March, through early Monday, 26 March, I have to be stricter than usual about deadlines and how assignments reach me. Here are the policies and procedures:
1) Assignments 1-4: Accepted, with penalty for lateness, until Tuesday, 20 March, at 5 pm. Turn in to main office of the Department of World Languages & Literatures, Neuberger Hall 491 (open 8 am - 5 pm). Text must be on paper. If you have bulky visuals or props (craft items, large pictures, posters, etc.), ask the WLL staff to store them separately. If your project includes audio-visual files, you can email them to me if they are not very large (<10MB is fine) or - whatever the size - put them on a CD-ROM disk or similar memory media and turn them in with your project. Put your LAST name on every separate part.
2) Revisions of previous assignments: Same as above (no penalty for lateness, since they are revisions). I have to be able to distinguish easily your revisions from your original text. If your revisions are brief, you can handwrite them on a printout of your original text. If they are extensive, give me a printout of the original text (clearly marked "original") and also a printout of the revised text (clearly marked "revision").
3) Group projects: Due by 5pm on Friday, 23 March. Any time until then you can turn them in to the main office of the Department of World Languages & Literatures, Neuberger Hall 491 (open 8 am - 5 pm). You can also give them to Aaron at the final exam. Format and media: same as above. If the project is bulky or has many pieces of text, media, and props, you should put it all in some sort of container. Make sure to include the names (including LAST!) of all of the team members.
