ENL 320 COURSE SCHEDULE
Fall Semester 2006
Please note that readings for a survey course are extensive; we will not always have sufficient class time to discuss in depth all of the assigned readings. Nevertheless, you are responsible for all readings and assignments listed on the Course Schedule and quizzes, essays, and other required work for the course will draw upon any and all readings and assignments—even those we do not cover in class. So read and prepare carefully, closely, and thoughtfully.
