ENG 312 Details

3 Credit Hours

Course Description:

A reading and writing intensive course, ENG 312 builds upon the critical thinking, research and writing skills initiated in ENG 150. Emphasis in this course will be, as indicated by the title, on literature characterized as not-traditionally considered canonical (i.e. ranging from any configurations of literature produced by a geocultural ?other? such as ?Southern? literature, ?Appalachian? literature, ?Caribbean? literature or even ?Latinx? literature to literature characterized by social or political protest such as ?Postcolonial? literature, or various adumbrations of ?emerging Voices? literature.) Students will read textual selections closely to appreciate the use of various literary elements and to engage in meaning-making. In addition, students should expect to contemplate the attributes that make literature important and aesthetically impactful in the 21st century. Writing assignments will include a range of essays, formal and informal, and include one or more research projects in which students apply and demonstrate mastery of an academic documentation format.
