Welcome to English 253 -- Survey of African-American Literature I. I look forward to working with you this semester.

You need to begin your work immediately. Please carefully read the Syllabus and Course Guide. The Syllabus gives you an overview of the course as well as general course information. The Course Guide gives you all the specific information about assignments, exams, etc. It also presents a suggested schedule for you to follow to complete the course. The schedule is divided into 16 weeks to help you organize your time. Your first week starts whenever you enroll in the course.  You should submit your assignments according to the weekly schedule. You must also follow the procedures below:

  • At least six assignments (including one essay) must be completed by your Last Withdrawal Date. If not, you will automatically receive a W. 
  • All assignments and exams must be completed by your End of Enrollment Date. However, you may request an extension if you have completed 50% of the work by your end of enrollment date. You must send me that request in writing. You can send a letter to me at ELI or you can email it to me at rblunt@nvcc.edu
NOTE: PLEASE USE YOUR VCCS EMAIL ACCOUNT TO COMMUNICATE AND SEND IN YOUR ASSIGNMENTS FOR THIS COURSE. DO NOT USE YOUR YAHOO, AOL, ETC. ADDRESSES. Go to Getting Started section in your Syllabus for details. Thank you.
