ENGL 3150 - MYTHOLOGY
Course Schedule


Given the fluid nature of this hybrid class, and the very real possibility that it will move totally online sometime during the semester, the schedule is set up weekly, rather than by class period. For texts that span multiple weeks, I will not be prescribing how much of each text to read per week. You can do the math, and judge our pace in this class as you see fit. Other assignments (papers and exams) will be due by Friday at midnight on the week that they are listed here.

Introductory materials about mythology in general are in green.
Authors and their works are in blue..
Papers are in red..
Exams and their availability are in yellow.
