I, _______________________________________, agree to do the following as checked off. I realize and agree that once the second short paper is due, this agreement is in force and will continue to be so throughout the remainder of this _______________ semester, 200__. I therefore agree to accept the grade earned based on the number and quality of papers described in the agreement, the journal entries completed on time, attendance, and the oral presentations.
Check of ONE option below:
1. _____ Six 2-page papers due every two weeks on Friday, but beginning on Monday, Sept. 17 and ending on November 30 (since we won't meet November 23rd). (I will create guides for the early ones.)
2. _____One 2-page paper and two 5-page papers, the first due on September 17, the second on October 12 and the third on November 30.
3. _____One 2-page paper due on Sept. 17 and a 10-page paper due on November 30.
This long paper may concern one work alone, that work and other works from the course, and even that work and (given permission of the instructor) other works not in the course. This paper may examine literary history, textual analysis, genre theory, or any other literay matter. You will design a very brief paper proposal (1 page at most and due on November 1) listing your name, likely focal work(s), its area of intellectual concern, and a set of questions to be explored and/or a set of hypotheses to be tested.

______I have read the following and agreed to it: The first draft of ALL final papers is to be brought in for an inclass workshop on Monday, November 26, as noted in the syllabus.

Please make two copies of this and give me one by Sept. 28 (the day on which the second short paper is due).
