Online Policies Professor Bendel-Simso
This course presents a survey of American Literature from WWI to the present. We will examine the major movements of Modernism and Postmodernism by genre, starting with poetry and moving through short stories and novels to the popular novel. We will consider these texts in their historical, social, cultural, political, economic, and psychological contexts and express sophisticated analyses of them in fascinating class discussions and brilliant essays.

Final Exam Ettiquette
Adherence to the letter and spirit of the honor code is required.
McDaniel College Honor Code: The McDaniel College Honor Code encourages academic integrity among individuals and fosters accountability within the community as a whole. What does this mean? It means: a) the work you submit must be your own, and, b) if others are damaging the values of the community, you have a responsibility to speak up about it. Please copy and sign the pledge on every formal assignment. It is not necessary to write it on drafts or discussion board posts.
About Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another's words or ideas. In short, it's the theft of someone else's intellectual property and a serious violation of college policy and academic ethics. The easy availability of materials on the Internet makes it tempting to use other people's work (or incorporate it into your own) without asking permission or citing sources. However, you are responsible to give credit where credit is due. If you submit a plagiarized paper, you will likely receive an F for the course. If you submit a paper or part of a paper that you have downloaded from the Internet, you will fail the course.
McDaniel College, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973/Section 504, will provide reasonable accommodations for eligible students with disabilities.
