Welcome to Week 10 of our online course. And congratulations on making it through the first half of the semester! This week we will pause in our readings to focus on the research component of the essay you have been developing. The activities for the week are designed to help you locate a relevant secondary source in the BMCC library for your in-progress essay project. If your goal is to earn a high grade on this final project, I urge you to complete all activities. Be sure to take Quiz 7 by 5:00 Sunday, October 30. This quiz checks your knowledge of the research summary assignment.

Welcome to Week 9 of our online course. This week we will be reading a selection of short works from the 19th Century, which feature women protagonists: “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin and “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant, along with the Emily Dickinson poem “The Wife.” I look forward to reading your responses to these quite stunning works, which express the unspoken longings of married women from this bygone century. First draft Essay is due Sunday, October 23rd. Be sure your introduction has received a grade of at least C before submitting this assignment. Note: At the end of this week, a permanent grade of zero will be entered for students who have not yet submitted the Essay Introduction assignment. There is a 25-question multiple-choice midterm quiz this week, which covers material from weeks 1-9.. This quiz carries the same weight in terms of grading as all other quizzes.
