poetry, and drama, students learn to clarify their own values and identities
as well as develop a better understanding of ideas and cultures beyond their
own experience. |

it. 5.appropriate use of literary

Instructional
Methods: |
|
|
|
The course introduces you to three types of literature: poetry,
short works of prose, and plays. Each of these literary genres forms a unit
of the course. |
How this course is organized: |
|
|
|
This
is not a self-paced course. You must complete each module within the dates
assigned to it. Although this is an online course, this is NOT a self-paced
course. There are due dates for each assignment. Read the Blackboard site
section, “Evaluation Methods,” to see how your grades will be affected by
late assignments. Also read the section of this syllabus titled, “Assignment
Guidelines” (below). It is your responsibility to let the instructor know if
you run into difficulties (see “Participation Policy”). Each week you will find
announcements and assignments posted on the Blackboard site. The instructor
will guide you through the literature you read, the text material you study,
and the questions to which you respond. You will read the assigned material,
think critically about what you have read, and participate in class
discussions via the Discussion Board forums. During the semester, you will
write two analysis papers, create a poetry project, write a documented
research paper, and complete the three online exams identified in your
syllabus. The one time you are required to come to the campus is to complete
the writing sample. Most assignments, essays and projects are completed individually
and turned in via Blackboard’s Assignment process. Quizzes are completed
online via Blackboard. Discussion Board assignments give students the
opportunity to interact and learn to evaluate each others’ work/comments
effectively, accurately, respectfully, and in a professional manner. All
assignments are covered in Assignments in Blackboard. |
