II. Bibliography: Drama (2) for the Spring Semester 1394 is built around the following materials: students should prepare a copy of number (1) from the Xerox room, but they should purchase number (2). Number (3) is a supplementary source and could be used optionally.

1) Western Drama through the Ages: A Student Reference Guide, Volumes 1 & 2. Edited by Kimball King. London: Greenwood, 2007.

2) Perrine’s Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense (Drama) Volume 3 (Thomas R. Arp & Greg Johnson)

3) A Glossary of Literary Terms (M. H. Abrams, latest edition)

III. Assignments & Grades: Students should study the texts that are assigned to them by the instructor for the following session. Each text or extract should be read before students come to class. Each play will be discussed in one or two or more sessions depending on the course of the class and the span of time necessary for each play. There will be a final exam of sixteen (16) points with essay-type questions related to the material discussed and lectured during the semester. More than two (2) sessions of absence will be reported to the Education Office and the absentee will be deprived of the final exam. Throughout the semester, students will be given two or three projects amounting to four (4) points. All these scores will amount to the final grade of 20: final exam (+16) + projects (+4) = 20).

IV. Week-by-Week Reading Schedule: Please note that this schedule tells students what they need already to have read when they sit down in class in each session. Note also that, once in possession of the Schedule, no one should be in doubt about the assignments.

نكات اخلاق حرفه‌اي دانشجويان:

1. ديرآمدن به كلاس و خارج شدن از كلاس به مدت بيش از 2 يا 3 دقيقه به منزله يك جلسه غيبت محسوب خواهد شد. بنابراين، لطفاً حرمت كلاس را با رعايت زمان كلاس حفظ فرماييد.

2. استفاده از موبايل، لپ‌تاپ، تبلت يا هر ماسماسك ديگري در كلاس ممنوع است. شما هم رئيس جمهور نيستيد. لطفاً حرمت كلاس را در نظر بگيريد.

3. دانشجوياني كه بيش از 2 جلسه غيبت دارند لطفاً خودشان براي حذف درس اقدام كنند و گرنه اين حذف براي ايشان انجام خواهد شد. آوردن هر گونه گواهي پزشكي يا دليل‌تراشي براي توجيه غيبت‌ها باعث مجاز شدن آنها نخواهد شد و تمامي غيبت‌هاي غيرمجاز به آموزش گزارش مي‌شود. اين بند بسيار جدي است، دانشجويان عزيز بعداً نگويند: «ما اطلاع نداشتيم.»

4. ضبط صداي استاد در كلاس و به هنگام تدريس از نظر اينجانب غيرقانوني است. لطفاً از ضبط كردن صداي مدرس بپرهيزيد و به جاي آن يادداشت‌برداري فرماييد.

براي همه شما آرزوي تندرستي و شادكامي دارم و اميدوارم نيمسالي پربار و پركار داشته باشيد كه جوهره زندگي كار و تلاش است، و سستي، بي‌انگيزگي، و تنبلي از دام‌هاي شيطان.
