My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel—it is, before all else, to make you see. That—and no more, and it is everything. --Joseph Conrad |

! If you don't already have course evaluation forms, please pick up them up from my office, fill them out, and return the completed forms to a staff member at the English Department office (BRK 1110) on or before Friday, October 5, 2007. I prefer that you fill in the two-page evaluation form in place of the one page official blank form. If you want to fill out both, that's fine too.
! The course Blackboard may begin shutting students out in preparation for next semester. If you can't log in, e-mail your literary observations and discussion to me and I'll post them on our class website instead.
! Final Exam on Monday, September 24, 2007: There will be two parts, each worth 50 points, one on the short stories we have read throughout the semester, and one on the novel Amsterdam.
