Description

World literature offers an introductory study of selected literary masterpieces by recognized international writers. Active participation in the study of literature can deepen and enrich the experience of living. Thus, poetry, drama, and short stories are studied within an historical and cultural context. Critical thinking skills are introduced and reinforced. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to analyze literature, using literary terms in class discussion and written assignment and/or exams; compare and/or contrast two or more pieces of literature; related themes in literature to issues in contemporary society; and produce clear written commentaries on assigned literature, supported by appropriate textual references. Prerequisite is ENG 1010
