Shakespeare
You’re expected to slowly read Hamlet during the term, about one act every 3 weeks or so. Always
bring your text of Hamlet to class. We won’t be discussing it each time, but you’ll want to have it
available on the days that we do. (Shakespeare understood clinical psychology better than anyone,
alive or dead.) This material will be covered on the prelims and final.
Course Requirements and Grading: First of all, this is a very demanding course. Students are
expected to read and consider at least 100 pages of material each week . Attendance at all lectures is
mandatory. The readings are meant to provide a structure and background to the lectures – only some
of them will be discussed in lecture. However, you are responsible for all material covered in the
assigned readings as well as all lecture presentations for the course examinations.
Examinations: There will be two (2) preliminary examinations and a comprehensive final
examination . See the course website for descriptions of the structure and format of the exams.
