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 Digital Portfolio Research 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. General Education credit – Communication.
English 201 and English 314 can also be taken as Study Abroad courses.
Typically, in my syllabi I provide links to the on-line versions of literary texts by Homer and James Joyce, and to Nobel Laureates' poems (T. S. Eliot, W. B. Yeats, Seamus Heaney and others). In addition, I use the the following resources in my Engl. 201:
