1ENG321: English 3 Part C Literature
Topic outline
-
February 2024
Dear Student
Welcome to 1ENG321. We look forward to your engagement with, and commitment to, the module. To be admitted to this module you must pass 1ENG211 and 1ENG212.
This module provides the student with a historical and theoretical introduction to examples of a variety of literary works from different parts of the English-speaking world in the three genres of literature. The work in this module will focus on developing an awareness of Literary Theory (Literary Criticism) and its application in the fields of literary studies. Students will read a variety of texts and they will be required to write about their critical responses to these readings. The writing will be in the form of academic essays and in-class tests. Although poetry lectures will be done in the lecture halls, most of the teaching will be in the form of tutorials which will be conducted in smaller groups. Students must ensure that they have been assigned to a tutorial group within the first week of the semester. Students will attend a total of four (4) lectures a week. A full timetable is available below.
Thank you.

Please submit the final, corrected, version of your Dracula essays here before midnight of May 1.

In most cases the marks went up by up to 10% depending on how well students responded to feedback. I think there was only one case of a student's mark going down because the response to my feedback was slapdash. In one or two cases the marks went up by more than 10% because students took the opportunity to re-edit and add extra information to their original drafts.
