2 courses with the subject ENG, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ENG 2050World Literature3
World Literature introduces students to influential literary works from around the world. Students will consider the role of literature in shaping and responding to the ideology of both the time and place in which the text appears as well as the time and place in which we read the text. The course also examines the relationship between literature and other forms of cultural production. Students learn to use different types of literary theory to contextualize their interpretations of these literary and cultural texts. Students demonstrate their understanding of the aesthetic works and critical concepts of the course by composing thesis-driven essays that analyze specific works of literature from a theoretical perspective.
American Literature introduces selected literature by American writers. Students consider this literature as a part of a multi-modal conversation with America's diverse and evolving cultures. Through regular reading and writing, students grow in confidence, coming to read with understanding, analyze with skill, and apply situations and lessons from literature to their own worlds. Learners also engage and reinforce critical thinking skills. By the end of the course, students should be able to identify conflict in short stories and drama; compare and contract works of literature; and produce sound written commentaries on assigned literature using evidence-based textual methodologies.
