Important hebdetails

  1. Hebdomadals are due via email any time before discussion
  2. Don't send your hebdomadal as an attachment; just paste it into the main text of the email
  3. You shouldn't use out-of-class sources in your hebdomadal, but if you do then you must cite it . . . it doesn't matter if you are referring to the piddliest web site: I want to see a full bibliographic entry
  4. If you use in-class sources -- lecture notes or ideas that come up in discussion -- you can be casual about citation; it's enough to write "Prof. Ortiz-Robles suggested X" or "In discussion, Calyn said Y"
  5. The grading scheme is still in development, but I can tell that I will be grading for
    1. A creative, risky reading of the text that is supported by an
    2. Intensive, almost obsessive attention to the language and structure of the text, all of which is put together in
    3. A nicely-structured, personable argument.
