Professor Jolanta W. Wawrzycka
English 201: Topics in World Literature. Syllabus for Spring 2009.
I have a strict attendance policy -- courses are costly
so protect your investment by attending your classes. Helpful link: "Did
I Miss Anything."
Topic:
Nobel Prize
Laureates -- Honors.
Welcome to the Literary Salon of World Literature.
Throughout the semester we will focus on researching lives and works of selected
Literary Nobel Prize Laureates. Our salon discussions, however, will start with
the invention of writing and move through aspects of Greco-Roman cultures,
medieval and renaissance Europe, to modern literature. Our class time investment
will also include Wireless Project Research Workshops and Digital Portfolio
Workshops, with an objective to 1) expose students to hands-on research in the
21st-C. digital environment, and to 2) introduce all students to
literary Nobel Laureates whose extraordinary collective legacy has, since 1900,
nourished generations of readers. The Adobe Connect Enterprise Server will provide
additional, virtual “meeting space” for our salon interactions and a platform
for presenting our research. General
Education credit – Communication.
