Description
This course is designed to prepare you for upper division English classes. We will work on reading and writing skills and explore how literature may be conceptualized in historical and formal frameworks (period, topic, genre). To that end there will be a focus on texts that reflect issues of self-discovery and geographical exploration.
This will be a 'paper' and discussion classroom and no laptops will be permitted in class unless you have a documented need.
Please use the assigned texts so that we are all (literally) on the same page. Books will be at the UCD Bookstore. Additional materials will be available in a course reader to be purchased at the Davis Copy Shop (on Third St between A and B).
