ENGL 2220 - English Masterpieces II

Institution:

Motlow State Community College

Subject:

English

Description:

English Masterpieces II is a survey of major and minor works from the Romantic, Victorian, and Contemporary periods of British literature. Students will examine the fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction of these periods with respect to the literary forms and characteristics of each period, as well as to the societal, cultural, philosophical, and historical forces that influenced their development. Critical and analytical thinking, interacting, and writing are central to the course. In addition to their readings, students will participate in ten weekly online discussions of the readings for that week and complete three homework assignments designed to test their ability to analyze and synthesize their impressions of literary text with those of published critics. These three assignments are designed to improve the students' critical thinking, reading, and writing skills as they interact with literature. Furthermore, students will have six reading quizzes which will be both online and multiple-choice. The discussions, homework assignments, and reading quizzes all help students prepare for the final two components of the course: essays and exams. Students will write a long critical paper, which will incorporate research, and they will demonstrate their knowledge of the course content in three online multiple-choice exams over the Romantic, Victorian, and Contemporary periods of British literature, respectively.
