課程概述 |
This course cultivates students’ appreciation of novels with an emphasis on close reading, the essential skill for literary studies, while the thematic focus for the semester is “narrative.” We will read novels featuring various narrative forms, including frame story, stream-of-consciousness, and unreliable narrators, each presenting a particular challenge for the readers. We will first interpret the plots properly and consider what effects different narrative modes have on our understanding of the characters, especially their psychological state, and how such effects are achieved.
*The syllabus might be updated so please check back at least once before the first class.
*Students wishing to be added to the course MUST attend the first class, even though spots may not be guaranteed.
*Students missing the first class but remaining on the roster will have 5 points deducted from their final grade. |
課程目標 |
1.Students will develop the essential skills for literary analysis and generate pertinent questions about the text, its contexts, and its implications, which will enable them to approach other literary texts on their own.
2.Students will learn to discern different modes of narrative and provide pertinent interpretation of the narrated stories accordingly.
3.Students will craft and articulate original interpretations of literature and support their arguments with solid evidences from the texts.
4.Students will acquire teamwork ethics and carry out impartial peer evaluation.
5.Students will become critical and insightful in reading other people and the world.

課程要求 |
Discussion Questions: As part of the pre-class effort, each student should write down two general questions about the reading of the week and submit as an assignment on Ceiba (due Tuesday at 9 a.m.). The instructor will sort the questions and post the ones to be used for discussion in class by Tuesday night. Good questions will show the students’ deep engagement with the texts. Questions copied from online sources show will receive 0 points.
Quizzes: These are pop quizzes that focus purely on factual recall. Students should not find the quizzes difficult if they have read the assigned texts.
Participation: Students are required to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned texts and actively participate in group discussion. Each group, consisting of 5 or 6 members, will try to provide in-depth answers to one of the week’s discussion questions. After class, students will have to fill out an online survey (in Google Forms) to rate the performance of every group member.
Group Presentation: After discussion, each group will present its ideas for 5 minutes (and no more). A good presentation shall have a concise central idea, supported by details from the texts. All members will receive the same grade, three-quarters of which rest with the entire class. Students shall listen carefully to the presentations and mark fairly on the grading sheet.
In-Class Papers: These are response papers of 300 to 400 words written in class. The point is for the students to wrap up what they have learned for the day by writing on a central issue/topic related to the reading, discussion, and/or presentation. Students may comment on a character, respond to another group, provide additional observations not covered in class, and so on.
Presentation Feedback: Group presentations will be videotaped and posted online after class. Students will have one week to provide feedback to the presentation of an assigned group. The feedback could be comments on the presentation style, the quality of the presented argument, or further questions derived from the presentation.
Final Exam: The exam will test students’ knowledge of the assigned texts and their ability to discuss these texts in relation to the general ideas of the course. Details regarding the format of the exams will be provided beforehand.
