I outline the assessment structure, which includes classwork and participation (10%), formative assessments (20%), midterms (30%), and final assessments (40%). Students will engage with various texts, including &quot;The Handmaid&apos;s Tale&quot; and &quot;Persepolis,&quot; and develop skills in textual analysis to prepare for their exams. I encourage students to regularly check their Google Calendar and reach out via email if they have any questions or need assistance. My office hours are on Tuesday from 10:15 to 10:45 and Friday from 1:30 to 2:00, and I am here to support them throughout the year.</description></oembed>
