In this survey of English literature from Romanticism through the 20th century, we will read and discuss poetry, fiction, prose, and drama in the context of social change, war, modernism, post-colonialism and postmodernism.
Course open only to DFLL students (majors and minors).
1. Plagiarism--copying (copying and pasting) the words of others without putting them in quotations and acknowledging the source--will result in a zero grade. 2. Skipping class for 3 or more times with no official approval or proof from a hospital will result in failure of this course. All absences are subject to a -2 deduction from the final grade. Excused absences may be made up by writing an original essay on a topic designed by the instructor. 3. At the beginning of each class, students will turn in a response to the week's readings. The response must be thoughtful, original writing, typed and printed out on a full sheet of paper (A4). Late responses will not be accepted (6 minutes after class starts is considered late). Minimum length: 150 words. Be sure to include your English and Chinese names and student number. 4. Midterm and final exams include vocabulary (from the readings); identification (title and author); analysis and interpretation of imagery and structures, metaphors and allusions; essay questions (primarily on issues raised in class); and definition of technical terminology (literary terms and interdisciplinary borrowings). 5. Students will present individually (10 minutes per student) and are graded individually; however, the work is divided within groups (one group for each day, usually). Presentation must focus on close reading of texts, not only providing background information on authors and contexts.
Grading: Class participation, discussion, quizzes and weekly responses: 20% Group project presentation: 20% Midterm exam: 30% Final exam: 30% Attendance (absences subtracted from final grade: -2/absence)
