Notes

The recorded lectures are from the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences companion course Comparative Literature 101X. Registered students can ordinarily live stream the lectures Wednesdays, 12:45-2:45 pm starting September 4 or they can watch them on demand. The recorded sessions are typically available within a few hours of the end of class and no later than the following business day. Class sessions for this course may include students enrolled in the FAS companion course. Accordingly, when you participate in live class sessions, you will do so alongside both Division of Continuing Education (DCE) and FAS students. If you participate in a way that causes you to appear in recordings of the class, those recordings may be shown to DCE students enrolled in this course or FAS students enrolled in the companion course, according to the policies of the two schools on accessing recordings of class sessions.
