学習目標 |
As a junior seminar, we will study literary works to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge on how to study literature and do independent research. This seminar will limit the period of study from the turn-of-the century era to the present, on literary works in English. Each student will make a reading list and schedule and pursue her independent subject and research in preparation for the graduation thesis in their senior year. Each student will read the necessary works and criticism and make a report as research progresses. We will end with an oral presentation and a research paper which will help lead the student to her senior thesis. |
