ENGL 40100 - Perspectives and Methods of Independent Study

Course Credit: 1
This course focuses on discussion and review of contemporary approaches to the study of language, texts, and culture, culminating in the student’s completion of a substantial essay that is critically and theoretically informed. The course asks students to become conscious about the assumptions underlying their approaches to literary texts; conscious of the relations between their questions and some of the diverse answers that have been produced in the discipline; and aware of the kinds of evidence suitable to the arguments they wish to make. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 20000 Annually.
