ENGL W4901 - History of the English Language

Institution:

Columbia University in the City of New York

Subject:

Description:

Officially this is a "lecture" course, so everyone is welcome to come -- freshmen through seniors, as well as graduate students -- and there are no prerequisites whatsoever. But unlike many "lecture" courses, this course will have constant class discussion, so ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. Also, if you miss the first class, you cannot get into the course. This course applies knowledge of the English language and its history to issues of literature, law, and other things as well. There are no required books, but there will be plenty of handouts -- all of them supplied gratis. There will be about half a dozen graded written assignments, most of them only about two pages long, but at least one of them rather extensive; and there may be in-class exams. Class participation is a BIG part of the grade.
