Introduction to Fiction introduces students to the study of fiction as an art form which exists within an historical context. The course emphasizes reading, writing, and critical thinking skills, and includes opportunity for oral expression. Students will explore the rhetorical, ethical, and political views presented in short stories, novellas, and novels, and compare them with current issues such as race and gender. LIT 2010 fulfills three hours of General Education/Liberal Arts Requirements in Historical Perspectives and Gordon Rule Writing. This section of LIT 2010 meets in the English Department's computer classroom, CPR-202. The object of this section is to familiarize the student with various new approaches to instruction and communication, emphasizing pragmatic and theoretical concerns in the process. The computers will assist the instructor, but in no way attempt to replace him; they are tools that will help with efficiency, variety, and practicality in the instruction and learning of Freshmen Composition. It should also be noted that this class is not a computer class, but an English class; writing is still our primary concern. The computer instruction will be limited to the applications utilized by the class. |
