課程概述 |
Course Description:
This course introduces students to the rich reserve of Irish novels that remains largely untapped in most traditional English curriculum and in the meantime cultivates students’ appreciation of novels in general. The texts selected are written by internationally acclaimed Irish novelists who through their literary production have helped shape how both the world and the Irish people themselves understand Ireland. The selected novels cover a wide range of staple issues essential for making sense of contemporary Irish society, including family, religion, history, emigration, etc., while the time periods of the novels’ settings range from the beginning of the 20th century, when Ireland was still a British colony, to as recent as the fall of Celtic Tiger in early 21st century. By reading and discussing these Irish novels, student will consider from different aspects the formation of an identity known to the world as “Irish.”

課程要求 |
Discussion Questions: As part of the pre-class effort, each student should write down two general questions (around 150 words each but no more than 200) about the reading of the week and submit as an assignment on NTUCOOL (due Tuesday at 10 a.m.). The instructor will sort the questions and post the ones to be used for discussion in class the next day. Good questions will show the students’ deep engagement with the texts. Questions copied from online sources will receive 0 points.
Participation: Students are required to come to class meetings prepared to discuss the assigned texts and actively participate in group discussion. Each group, consisting of 4-5 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 (via Google Forms, by Thursday midnight) 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 presentation grade, four-fifths of which rest with the entire class. Students shall listen carefully to the presentations and mark fairly on the grading sheet.
Weekly Response Papers: These are one-page response papers (no more than 500 words) written after 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. Papers are due every Thursday midnight (like the peer evaluation). Avoid plagiarism by all means.
Final Project: Students will do a 10-minute video presentation to showcase their knowledge of the assigned texts and their ability to discuss these texts in relation to the central themes of the course.
