Or will assigned work be posted week to week on Monday? I would also like to know what our work load will look like? Will it be assigned readings, discussion and then writing assignment due on Sunday of each week at 11:59pm?
Ideally I would like to have two weeks of work posted so I can work ahead of necessary. ]]> 2020-08-19 20:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rrodrigo2/8kj15erc07sm93ff/wish/688203614 https://padlet.com/rrodrigo2/8kj15erc07sm93ff/wish/689567189 Hi Professor Rodrigo,

I would love to find out about the reading list as soon as possible. While I love that you're providing PDFs, I've been so worn down from staring at screens during the pandemic that I'm actually yearning to hold a good old fashioned paper book! So I was wondering if we could get the list early on to allow for enough shipping time from used book stores. Thank you! 🙏

When turning in essays and large assignments would you like us to only use Word? Or is google docs PDF acceptable?

I was wondering if there will there be other opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester besides the creative project?]]> 2020-08-21 06:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rrodrigo2/8kj15erc07sm93ff/wish/690995638 kierstenreyes https://padlet.com/rrodrigo2/8kj15erc07sm93ff/wish/692528154 Hello Professor,
In the syllabus I know it stated that there is not a reading schedule, but would it be possible to know what sections we will be working and when, a  tentative date range, and possibly making the readings available in advance?

In the syllabus when you talk about the grading scale and what we need to earn certain grade in your class. I was wondering what do you mean by extension is that one assignment or various assignments together? Also, The grade tracker is kind of confusing I am not really sure the best way to use it? Any suggestions? 

Best,

Hello Professor Rodrigo, 

Concerning the books and reading material that you will provide to us,  are you giving extra reading material that discusses "...Age of Realism (1865-1914), the Modernist Period (1914-1945), and the Postmodern Era (1950-present)...diverse authors of these periods, addressing relevant historical, social, political, philosophical, aesthetic, cultural, and religious issues"? Do the books and/or reading materials have introductory paragraphs or a synopsis of current events occuring at the time some of the assigned readings were written? Thank you in advance.

When reading the syllabus you talked about how a creative project can bump you up to a A in the class. I was wondering what this means and what it looks like? Is there any examples of past projects from students you could show or link us to? 
Along with others in the class I am super curious about the books were going to read and would love to get a list of them if possible. Thank you!
