EventID: 2040 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 3 Type: 1 Heading: OUTCOMES Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: To satisfy the general Arts and Humanities core outcomes, British Literature I will help to develop the student's ability to

  • read, analyze, interpret, and write about British literature;
  • research and document articles on literary topics;
  • read, summarize, and write about the historical, philosophical, and intellectual contexts for British literature;
  • establish and defend theses, in writing and in discussion, about literary topics; and

  • of the primary text,
  • of assigned secondary texts,
  • of outside sources that you locate.

    There is a discussion component as well. Students are required to participate in weekly on-line discussions of the assigned readings -- new readings are assigned every Wednesday, a weekly discussion will be held every Monday. These discussions will be co-hosted by myself and one of your classmates.

    Finally, there is a writing component. See below for more information on your Research Papers. EventID: 2744 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 5 Type: 1 Heading: REQUIRED TEXT Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Abrams, et al., eds. The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Vol. 1. 6th ed.

    NOTE: Every reference that you make to a text should include page or line numbers -- scenes or images that you recall may not be instantly found or recalled by your classmates. You are responsible for each assigned text and the appropriate headnotes, appendices, and bibliographies. EventID: 2987 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 6 Type: 1 Heading: GRADES Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Grades are based upon the following elements:
  • participation in Chatroom discussions (15%);
  • an essay-style midterm exam due in Class 7 (15%);
  • a three-page research essay on one major author (more information elsewhere in the syllabus) due in Class 3 (15%);
  • a three-page research essay on one of the genres that we examined (more information elsewhere in the syllabus) due in Class 10 (15%);
  • an eight-page research essay analyzing the impact of a theme, genre, historical movement, or philosophical idea on a period due in Class 15 (20%);
  • an essay-style final exam due in Class 16 (20%). EventID: 2988 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 7 Type: 1 Heading: Chatroom Discussions Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Every Monday night we will meet in the Serf Chatroom (see the clickable icon at the top of your webpage). Read your assignment, then. It is your responsibility to understand the plot -- "what happened". In our "discussion," we will go the next step and examine the theoretical, philosophical, and historical implications of the work. Bring questions to our discussion; be prepared to explain your theory to other students. You will be graded on the quantity and quality of your remarks.

    Each week, one of you have the task to co-host (or team-teach) the discussion of an author, work, genre, or period. The discussion topics will be focused upon the papers that you will be writing throughout the semester.

    Failure to participate in the Discussions will lower your grade 15%. EventID: 3442 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 8 Type: 1 Heading: LECTURE MATERIAL Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: In an effort to assure that students have an understanding of the cultural, historical, and intellectual background to the readings, students will receive "lecture" material in one or more of the following ways:
  • MS Word files sent via email that you can download and read in Microsoft Word,
  • Clickable hyperlinks embedded in the syllabus,
  • referrals to appropriate headnotes and appendices in the Norton textbook, or
  • bibliography of books and articles available in the College library (if you attend or live near our campus).

    Special Note to Undergraduate Students: Articles and books collected on the Internet may help you in writing papers. But you cannot depend on them for material for papers. The net is just one more option for you to explore, but you need to use library resources as well. EventID: 1849 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 9 Type: 1 Heading: READINGS Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Reading assignments are listed for each week. All readings can be found in your textbook. To use your textbook, turn to the page number listed in parentheses after each assigned reading.

    To access the on-line sources, I have created clickable hyperlinks. Print a copy of your syllabus for each unit of study, open a second Browser window (click on "File" then "new Web Browser"). With the printed syllabus before you, click on the bold-faced, underlined words for the assigned text. If this process is difficult, or if you do not have success, I urge you to e-mail me or e-mail the help desk with your problem -- one of us will get back to you the same day. EventID: 2989 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 10 Type: 1 Heading: EXAMS Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: There will be two course examinations, a midterm and a final. Neither is a short-answer, instant-recall test. Both demand that students write essays that synthesize several elements of the course.

  • To earn an "A" on a paper or a test, the student must show a thorough understanding of each of the major periods and authors, write fluently, originally and effectively about them, do thorough research to support critical papers, and complete all assignments on time.

    EventID: 2992 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 11 Type: 1 Heading: RESEARCH PAPERS Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Paper One will be a minimum of three pages, excluding the Works Cited page. It requires research on and analysis of the impact of a single author on literary history. Paper Two will be a miminum of three pages, excluding the Works Cited, and requires students to deal with a single genre covering multiple periods and writers. Paper Three will be a minimum of 8 pages, excluding the Works Cited, and requires students to address a single period of literature. All papers are evaluated for their critical thinking, their understanding of the figure or genre in question, the extent and effectiveness of their research, their facility with the incorporation of primary and secondary sources, and their clear presentation of original critical thinking.

If, however, you desire formal instruction, please call the SERF Hotline Helpdesk with your request. EventID: 3609 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 15 Type: 1 Heading: RECOMMENDED SECONDARY READINGS Tracking: 0 Weight: 0 Deadline: 0 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Your textbook provides extensive reliable readings (in the headnotes and appendices). Read these before you read anything else. These readings will introduce you to the culture, history, contemporary intellectual and philosophical ideas, and aesthetic principles that governed (consciously or not) the development of the literature.

    To assist in writing your papers, the College library has access to a number of focused, reliable scholarly journals via Inter-Library Loan. Do not forget to avail yourself to this service.

    Likewise, the College library subscribes to the MLA Bibliography on CD-ROM. This resource catalogs all books and articles published annually on literary topics. Their database may be searched by author, title, subject, or year.

    In addition to text and library sources, certain Internet Websites may also assist you. These web addresses are either linked directly through the syllabus or forwarded to you by e-mail. NOTE: You should "Bookmark" these addresses -- they will be useful when you write your research papers later in the semester.

    With all the reliable readings available to you, the college will NOT accept any writing that relies upon dictionaries, encyclopedias, or the various collections published by Magill, Twayne, Bloom, or Gale. Should you have trouble locating good sources, I encourage you to e-mail me immediately.

Some of them, however, can also be found on the Internet. Before you can access the electronic texts this semester, you should
  • print a copy of your syllabus,
  • learn to move back and forward from your SERF syllabus and the electronic resources.

    Here are the easy steps. I suggest that you practice several times to work out the glitches. If all fails, please click on my E-mail button at the top of your screen, or click on the college's E-mail button -- "get help".
  • Modify the size of this window to fill one-half. To do this, click on the "Large/Small" icon in the top right corner of your Netscape Browser.
  • In the Netscape Browser, Click in succession on File, New and Navigator Window.
  • Modify the size of the New window to fill the other half of your screen. If you have succeeded, you now see two working windows side by side or above and below.
  • Remember to put the cursor on the screen you are working on.
  • Copy or Paste the following address into the address location box in the new window: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/9067/
  • Click on Send E-mail button in Serf to send me a message. Let me know what you found or what troubles you are having. EventID: 3611 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 18 Type: 9 Heading: MLA Documentation Tracking: 0 Weight: 6 Deadline: 5 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: Before you can write, you must familiarize yourself with the proper rules for documenting your research. There are several systems for doing this. In this class, however, we will acknowledge only one, that established by the MLA in the MLA Handbook.

  • Visit the MLA style in-text documentation website. (It will be easier if you use a second browser window to perform this function.)
  • Study the Table of Contents.
  • Familiarize yourself with the Citation Template and Examples A, B, and G. Although it is possible that you may have need of the other forms, you should find A, B, and G most useful.
  • Find the errors in the citation below, and
  • use this website to make the appropriate corrections:

    Janet Alfredson (1995). The Significance of Fate in Beowulf. Essays in Anglo-Saxon Studies. vol. 14. 3 May 1995. Http://www.utex.edu/essays/a-s/jalfredson.html. January 15, 1999.

  • Click the Send E-mail button and send me the citation in its corrected form.

    In the event, your research does not provide the information required in the Citation Template, fear not. The Template is an outline not a requirement. You will supply what you HAVE not what they "demand."

    NOTE: If you performed this exercise in one browser, you'll need to Click on the "Back" button to return to this screen in Serf. EventID: 1871 SyllabusID: 41 Position: 19 Type: 9 Heading: Start Research Paper 1: Bibliography Tracking: 0 Weight: 10 Deadline: 21 Columns: 1 Formatting: 3 Text: NOTE: This is the first step to your Research Paper.

    TASK: Use general search engines, more specific literary search engines, the MLA Bibliography CD-ROM in the library, or other published materials to compose a 3-item "Bibliography on the significance of ..." one of the following authors -- Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, or Pope.

    GUIDELINES:
  • All three articles must be significant sources
  • All three articles must address the literary importance of the author
  • All citations must be an MLA-style format
  • All citations should be in alphabetical order (by surname of primary author)
  • All citations should include a brief 2-3 sentence summary of the article that you found and read.

    HELPFUL HINTS:
    Use the Starting Point search engine to begin an independent search; use the On-Line Literary Resources for a speedier, slightly more focused search on English literature; use the Georgetown University Labyrinth website for a tightly tailored search of articles. You will have the best results when you search for very specific items: "Chaucer" is less specific than either "Influence of Chaucer" or "Originality and Canterbury Tales".

    Your essays should show a thorough understanding of the periods and authors in question.
