English seminars are courses designed to engage student and professor in a conversation on a topic about the research and thinking to be done over the semester. The objective of the seminar is to maintain an informed conversation about the seminar's focus. Students are expected to participate in seminar conversation and, through formal presentations, lead the conversation. Since the purpose of the seminar is also to do research on the topic to bring the seminar group to a better understanding of the issues, formal research papers and reports are regular parts of the course. Prerequisite: Five AML, BRL, DRA, or LIT courses 2100 or higher. 3 credits. Offered every semester.

Tutorials are gatherings of a small number of students around a topic announced by a professor of the English department. Students interested in pursuing research, discussion, and analysis of a particular idea with a member of the English faculty are invited to speak with the professor to find out the expectations for students to participate and how students are assessed for their work. Typically professors who are working on research or an academic project offer opportunities for interested students to join them. Prerequisite: Chairperson's approval. 3 credits. Offered as needed.

When a student has a particular interest in a topic not addressed by the offerings of the English curriculum or has a need to pursue an idea on a more formal basis, it is possible to propose an independent study. The student would seek out a member of the English faculty willing to oversee or guide a semester's activity on the subject. Specific guidelines for Independent Study in English are available in the English department. Students should begin the process of securing a mentor and completing the required forms before formal registration for the next semester. Prerequisite: Three AML, BRL, DRA, LIT, ENG, or WRI courses 2100 or higher, cumulative index of 3.0 or higher, and Chairperson's approval. 1-3 credits. Offered as needed.
