Advanced Seminar

Catalog description

An intensive seminar for upper level students on research and writing in the discipline. This course explores the kinds of research and writing associated with literary studies, from traditional academic projects to more creative writing possibilities. It focuses on a few main texts studied intensively from a variety of approaches. In that sense, it builds on the work of English 2010, while preparing students for the senior colloquium in their final Spring semester through discussion leading and presentations. Writing exercises throughout the semester will culminate in a final paper or a creative project. Students should plan to take this course in the fall semester of their final year. In certain cases, they may take it the previous year, but they should be well into their English studies. Prerequisite(s): BUS 1010 or FYWR 1020 ; and ENG 2010 . For English Seniors only.
