Here is your reading schedule for Crime and Punishment.
During this whole process you will have two essays tests (one after
book 3, one at the end of the book) and two papers.
One paper is the motif paper that will help you write your critical
paper. Your motif paper will be due BASED on the chapter you
will have picked.
You will have about 30 pages of DENSE reading every night.
Discussion is imperative. If there is no discussion in class I will
give impromptu more-than-annoying DYRT quizzes.
