ENG 316 Details

3 Credit Hours

Course Description:

A reading and writing intensive course, ENG 316 builds upon the critical thinking, research and writing skills initiated in ENG 150. As Socrates in believed to have stated, ?The unexamined life is not worth living.? ENG 316 is a course designed to provide students with the literacy exploration that Socrates himself might have endorsed as a pathway for the pursuit of truth and wisdom: in this course, students study poems, short stories, drama and/or novels with the intention of probing both the literary merit of these texts and the ethical and moral questions embedded within them. Consonant with the other courses in the 300+ literary-based courses, 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 mythic literature important and aesthetically impactful. 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.
