01 T TH 9:00 - 10:15 Conley BR388
Section 01: ENG 233 is one of two required survey courses in American Literature,
intended as introductory courses for English majors. As such, the course provides
an overview of literary texts and movements from Native American oral literatures to
the poetry of Whitman and Dickinson. We will focus on both cultural and aesthetic
cultural issues: our goal will be to examine the terms by which "America" and
"literature" have been understood by diverse writers for diverse communities. In
addition, we will explore the ways contemporary readers/writers have interpreted
these texts. Writing/reading/interpretation are themselves considered as negotiations
of meaning and effect within particular groups.
We will make frequent use of computer-assisted technologies, both in and out of class,
and so you must have an active e-mail account and access to Blackboard, Bradley's
web-based teaching/learning program. I usually answer e-mail very promptly; take
advantage of this opportunity to extend our exchanges beyond the given office hours.
Please note: the course does not satisfy the General Education-Human Values requirement.
Method: close reading, discussion, much writing
Examinations: Participation: attendance and daily class activities; Tests In each of the
three tests, you will provide brief identifications for twenty terms drawn from the editors'
introductions to the periods. The terms themselves are listed (in order of their appearance
in the introductions) in an attachment to this syllabus. Notes: on each test, you may
substitute two terms for any one term you do not recall. Essay #1: Introduction of Literary
Group-in an essay of at least 1500 but no more than 1750 words, introduce to the class any
text and author (or group of texts/authors) from the Colonial Period or the Eighteenth Century
in the anthology but not on the syllabus. Essay #2: Defining 19th-century American Literature.
In an essay of 1500-1750 words, use the texts from the early 19th century to construct a
definition of American Literature. Discussion Boards: group response in class and individual
response out of class to question posed on Blackboard discussion board. Questions/responses
based on class discussion of texts.

02 T TH 1:30 - 2:45 Newton BR261
Section 01: This survey course introduces English majors to American literature
from 1865 to the Present. Our primary goal is to provide the foundation for
majors' upper-level courses in specific topics, movements, and aesthetics of
American literature. Students are therefore expected to become familiar with
the aesthetic, cultural, social, and literary history of the period. This
admittedly daunting task will be made easier by a mixture of lecture, lively
discussion, and group work. We'll also indulge ourselves by reading the work
of at least one Visiting Writer and attending Visiting Writers Series events.
In addition, the course will introduce students to the format and style of
writing about American literature.

Section 01: Creative Nonfiction is the latest label for belletristic prose,
characterized by a heightened sensitivity to lyricism even when the subject
matter is commonplace. Prose genres that have benefited from the renewed
interest in creative nonfiction include autobiographies, memoirs, nature
writing, histories, and personal narratives of travel and adventure. This
class combines our Department’s undergraduate “Autobiography” course and t
he graduate “Creative Nonfiction.” While our combined writing workshop aimsto
foster a greater understanding of the new genre, the specific course goal for
the semester is for each student to discover a meaningful book-length writing
project, potentially your first book idea, and to complete a substantial early
segment by the end of the semester.

Section 01 & 02: Two general objectives prevail: (1) to help students develop
written communication skills that will contri-bute to their success in
business and (2) to simulate a business climate that will prepare them for a
smooth transition from the classroom into a business environment. Primary
emphasis is on audience analysis and purpose/use to enhance effectiveness of
reader-oriented messages. Course focuses on clear, concise and specific
language characterizing the most common forms of office communications:
interoffice memos, e-mail and short reports. Business and international
correspondence is covered in terms of format and content. Several
collaborative compendiums and team tasks are assigned throughout semester to
develop ability to function effectively within groups and to assume various
leadership roles as a team player. In addition, a job-search triad --
application, resume and thank-you letter -- is studied, including networking
techniques to identify and expedite employment opportunities. An
understanding of the interview process provides preparation for anticipating
and responding positively to an interviewer's evaluation of the job applicant.
Interpersonal relations as well as office protocol are also examined and
personalized through pertinent business behavior capsules.
Mehtod: Mini lectures, video tapes, audio cassettes, flip charts, overhead
transparencies, 35mm slides and in-class writing exercises including
objective summaries, collaborative compendiums and team tasks.
Examinations: Mid-term and final, plus semester portfolio project

ENG 307 ADVANCED WRITING - CREATIVE WRITING II 3 S.H.
PREREQ -ENG 207 OR CONSENT OF INSTRUCTOR
01 M W E 4:30 - 5:45 Stein BR225
Section 01: This is a writers' workshop. It operates under the assumptions
that fuel the engine of writerly community: that the private act of writing
can be aided, induced, encouraged, cajoled, and emboldened by the communal
act of sharing that work with other writers.
The primary activity of the workshop is, of course, writing your own work as
well as reading and commenting on the work of your classmates. To that end,
you'll learn and employ appropriate poetic terms to discuss workshop
submissions. We'll complement these goals by reading the work of other
authors, by attending Visiting Writers Series events, and by your "discovering"
a contemporary poet and critiquing her/his work.
Finally, please note that this section will focus solely on writing and revising

01 M W F 11:00 - 11:50 Katz BR259
Section 01: ENG 312 works to fulfill the Mission of the Department of
English by helping to broaden students' understanding of and facility with
language. ENG 312 will take students through a course of detailed study in
English grammar, including both traditional concepts and contemporary
linguistic theory. Specifically, students will study the parts of speech,
sentence structure, and the different types of phrases and clauses, primarily
in the context of actual usage. The ultimate goal of the course is to teach
students a specialized vocabulary and accompanying set of concepts for analyzing,
discussing, and even arguing about sentence structure. This vocabulary-and-concept
set comprise one of the major tools that teachers, scholars, editors, and
professional speakers and writers use to analyze and improve language use.
Method: Lecture-discussion, application of theory to real-world texts
Examinations: four midterms, comprehensive final, daily exercises

Today's Young Adults: 7th Edition by Donelson and Nilsen and write response
papers to the texts.
Examinations: We will do four "small" research projects on selected YAL websites
and online resources, specific articles about YAL, selected award-winning YAL
authors, and selected challenged books and how to rationale their use and "value."
As a longer research project, students will choose one of the following projects:

ENG 503 CREATIVE NONFICTION 3 S.H.
01 W E 6:00 - 8:45 Palakeel BR135
Section 01: Creative Nonfiction is the latest label for belletristic prose,
characterized by a heightened sensitivity to lyricism even when the subject
matter is commonplace. Prose genres that have benefited from the renewed
interest in creative nonfiction include autobiographies, memoirs, nature
writing, histories, and personal narratives of travel and adventure. This
class combines our Departments undergraduate Autobiography course and t
he graduate Creative Nonfiction. While our combined writing workshop aimsto
foster a greater understanding of the new genre, the specific course goal for
the semester is for each student to discover a meaningful book-length writing
project, potentially your first book idea, and to complete a substantial early
segment by the end of the semester.
Method: Discussion/Writing Workshop
Examination: Final portfolio of 30 pages for undergraduates and 40 pages for
grad students
