Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course builds on the knowledge students gained in the introductory lectures. Students taking this course are supposed to be familiar with the basics of literary analysis (narrative techniques, genre, point of view, etc.). However, students will receive a script in the first session to brush up their knowledge. We will discuss one (or more) literary texts from different genres and periods every week. By means of discussion question, which students are supposed to prepare for each sessions, we are going to approach these texts from various critical angels.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active class participation, oral presentation in groups, portfolio to be submitted at the end of July.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students will be assessed on the basis of a point-based system. Students have to score at least 60 points to pass the course.

Oral presentation: 25 points
Active class participation: 30 points
Portfolio: 45 points

You can miss two sessions.

Examination topics

Everything coverd in class (incl. teacher input, student presentations, and classroom discussions).

Reading list

Apart from some poems and short stories (which will be provided for you), we will also read:
