Assignment Topics - III BA English

Topics for assignments for the following students who come under my purview:

Points to Note before you Ink: The essays should be about 12 to 15 pages in length, handwritten, proofed, and well thought-out, adhering to the MLA Style. Bibliography should be used, wherever applicable. I see these assignments as a chance for you to explore more thoroughly some of the topics we have discussed / we will be discussing in class. Also, when you write the essays, be sure to use examples from the text of the play/novel, which have some very usable quotes: use them to your advantage. All assignments should be submitted to Ms.Rani at the IQAC, before 1.30 pm on 29.02.2008. No further extension is permissible under any circumstances.

Creativity, Neatness and Originality will be rewarded suitably. I would also like to add that I really enjoy reading your essays, and remember, you should be able to make a presentation in class, in about five minutes based on your assignment.

And please don't feel bad if you dont get your marks, as marks from now on, will be strictly based on the above parameters. All the best..!!!
